This looks like a good start to a cool idea. I couldn't figure out how to defeat the boss so I just kept jumping around hahaha.
I would include some notes on how to play or next time provide a small tutorial for the player. I see that this is your first jam contribution so congrats! I would keep this game around to look back and see all of the progress you've made in the future. Keep it up :)
Pretty cool game! I like the idea of controlling enemies and fighting through multiple waves. I would maybe provide a tutorial or explanation on how to play because I was confused on what my objective was until I experimented with the controls. The pixel art is awesome and I didn't have any performance issues. Good job!
I like how your powerups are clearly shown on screen and all of the different attacks the boss can do. The art and sfx are pretty good. I would change the "select inventory slot" screen to be integrated into the action a bit more. I kept trying to maneuver and the screen kept popping up causing me to context switch. I enjoyed it!
Did you mean to create a game that I would've played on my MS-DOS PC? This game brings me back to older games in that time period - it's great. I dig the compressed background in the hub world and the compressed sound. Again, I'm not sure if this was intentional but its really cool haha. One thing I would change is that I typically don't like waiting for a game to decide when I can attack. Maybe introducing something where I can influence when and where the circular area to dash through spawns would be nice. Overall it's very good.
The boss mechanics are well thought out and the art and sfx are great.
I would make the ship movement a tad faster and the shooting feel more "weighty".
With the timer on the screen I wanted to stay in the action instead of fight, read,
fight, read, but my game has that issue too lol.
Other than that I think the theme was executed well and I had a lot of fun!
Great job!
The artwork in this game is great. I think the gameplay mechanics work well. What I would change is how spongey the enemies are - it takes a lot to kill just one enemy. I unlocked the assault rifle and felt the fire rate should be faster since the enemies take a while to defeat. Overall I think its a great start to a cool game!
