Use of the limitation
Your ship's constantly depleting power serves as the main timer, but you're also scored based on a timer. So "on a timer" times two lol

Cookies eaten
Not enough, quite frankly...Though I'm about to go get a milkshake as a reward for finally finishing a game jam :P

good game, I like the pixel art.

If the goal in this game is just to maintain how long you survive then this game is very easy, you only need to hold up button throughout the game and no enemies will attack you. XD

Submitted

okay I was wrong, the enemies get harder as the game goes on. this is my best time to hold the up button.

Can confirm, that IS a really nice font. I liked the sprite for the ship controls too. Everything looks nice in the monocolor. Solid gameplay too, I like the balance between shooting and searching for targets. The use of light makes for a nice deep darkness of space atmosphere. And good use of the limitation, not quite straight up. Solid Job!

I love the light up mechanic

Awesome job this game is fun and I think the mechanic to  light up the ships is really cool! It gets so hectic once the ships that shoot back at your arrive! My best time was 1:17.

Developer

Thanks for playing!! Solid time too - I still haven’t broken the two minute barrier lol :P

really neat set-up, concept, and overall execution. Bravo!

Developer

Thanks so much! :]

I like this one, between the art style and the concept of having a searchlight to see it was really cool. I got overconfident with standing still and spamming Z + X until the ships that shoot back appear, I like the fact that I couldn't cheese this :)

Good job, and well done for finishing a game jam!

Thanks so much for playing!! And yeah haha, I added those ships in last because I was playing the game the same way as you :P

The visuals are really cool and i liked the concept. Moving the ship was a bit hard though, but overall a really nice experience x)

Developer

Yes the movement is a tad slippery :P Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Wow I like the parallax effect on the stars. Nice job, but I would have liked moving your ship to have been more useful, now it doesn’t matter much whether you move or stay still.

And the concept was certainly unique, and fits the limitation very well! :D

Yeah, that’s a really good point about moving the ship…might be nice to have some objectives to go and find if I ever keep developing this

Thanks so much for the feedback and for checking it out!

Great idea for a game and I love the pixel art! Doing everything at once is kinda difficult but that just makes me wanna play again and do it better the next time. Great game!

Developer(+1)

Yes all the different things overwhelm my brain and I end up spam pressing buttons - why did I make this in retrospect lol?

Thanks so much for the compliments and for playing! Really appreciate it :]
