The game has a lot of character! I think it could use an effect or animation when you find the star so the transition to the next stage isn't so abrupt.

Bug Planet EscapeSimple and fun game! Did you draw all these things by hand? So much effort!
Food for thought: What if the location of the star changes or the number of bullets given are limited to make the game more challenging at each replay? It'll be fun to try out other difficulty levels too!
Look forward to try out more games from you!
A fun game, original drawing! But still there is not enough polish: sharp sounds, transitions, movements ...
Good luck in development =)

Neon Arena - Jam EditionI enjoyed the game! Cute art style.
Didnt know that I'm supposed to use my arrow keys to look for the star in the beginning so was spamming my clicks at the star and wondering why I died even when I already found the star. After figuring it out, the game was really easy to play. Tried the game a couple of times and realized there's a shield!!!! I AM NOW INVINCIBLE!! (but only for a few seconds before I was hit by the objects and had to rush to the star to avoid dying hahahaha).
Thank you for making this game! Looking forward to many more games from you.
Cleared! Here are my thoughts: beautiful introduction! The art style is captivating, loose and neat. Properly use of sound effects and easy controls. Also, the music is atmospheric, well done!
Suggestions:
- "Find the Star", "Touch the Star" or "Go Towards the Star". I think that the goal should be more clearly stated to the player. Although it's intuitive that the player has to get to something, the sentence could give a better hint!
- I played a couple of times and realize that the stars are always in the same place in each room. So, how about putting the star in a random place (of course, far from the player's spawn position) ? So the replay value of the game can increase;
That's it, good job!
Hahaha love the art for this. It's super charming. I love the little cutscene in the beginning too. The hand made art and the animations are just so delightful. There's a lot of variety in the backgrounds as well! The boss design was also really cute. It does get a little hard to distinguish what I should be avoiding or not but finding a blinking star did have an interesting challenge to see if I could spot it amongst the rest of the images. Felt similar to a "Where's Waldo" in that sense because of how busy the backgrounds were. Super dynamic and cute game! Before I realised there was shooting, I accidentally did a pacifist run straight to the star. The boss must live!!

Lam's Untitled NeonThanks so much for your generous compliments! :) And hahah yes, yay, congrats! It is indeed possible to get around the boss without killing him if you know how to doge really well and make full use of the shields xD well done, even if by accident - you may actually have some hidden talent and skills which you are not aware of ;)
Really neat. It was nice to have explanations considering how varied each of the levels were. It was a bit abrupt moving from room to room, which should be helped with some simple screen transisitons.

Blickel Neon NightThanks for playing and your kind comments! Ah, yes, I did intend to do the transition but was a bit worried that it would mess up the game because of the switching of camera views and ended up deciding not to do it and spent more time doing the artwork instead. But yes, agree that adding screen transitions would be good. Thank you!
PS. Do you happen to have any tips/good links on how to do sleek fading transitions ? Else I will look up for some tutorials when I have the time, no worries :)
I loved the hand made graphics and animations, is hard and easy at the same time it could have potential good job!

Neon of the dark RealmI laughed so hard it literally got me in tears :D The fact I completed the game in 15 seconds was absurd and hilarious in a good way :) Rated!

Fairy Llama Goes to SpaceI found the best technique was to swing the mouse all over the place and hope for the best! The art is... interesting! I found the game a little too punishing.
During the boss level, I didn't even see the dinosaur until it was too late, and then I had to start over from the beginning.
Overall pretty chaotic!

Newton's PartyAt first when I saw this game I didn't think it was going to be good but after trying it, though short it was quite good really nice gameplay and really fun the only thing I can only I can say isn't amazing is the art which in my opinion is a bit overwhelming but other than that its good! :)
