How does your game fit the theme?
Begin the game collecting debris, making sure to manage your resources as you drift through space. Then suddenly! Crash through your planet's atmosphere avoiding meteors and lightning storms trying to land! The calm is a Resource Gatherer, and the storm is a Bullet Hell!

I like the sense of progression, as we are going down. I like the visual, even if there is some inconstancy in the pixel size. SFX are missing a lot, for thruster and collectible, and some atmosphere too. The Music retro vibe is great, but loop is short and the cut between 2 loop is distinguishable.
But overall that was fun to play. Great job.
I liked the calm part of the game, at 1st the control feels hard to manage but after a few tries feels ok and I like the control of the game because it really feels like you are falling into the planet due a crash which helps to the atmosphere of the game.
Visually it’s great, I like how slowly you are seeing the planet, the stars and the sky of the planet looks great!
About the music, I like it but after a few tries it can feel repetitive for how short it is. Also, it would be nice to add a sfx each time you get hit or collect an object in the space.
In the storm part, I just didn’t like the blue meteor, it can feel like a free hit each time it spawns from below or at the same height of your ship from the sides, and at the start it can be a free hit from the 2 meteors if you move. The sign of the thunder warning would be a bit better if it’s a bit bigger or more above from the ground because while you see where the meteors come, you look away from the bottom and lose track of the thunder until it falls down.
Outside of that, it’s a good concept and can be fun. Good game :)
Interesting concept and nice graphics!
Great concept and execution, my suggestions would be to make the background track a bit longer and make the controls a little less responsive because its very easy to fly into a corner. Otherwise, its very fun, amazing job!
The art style is so charming, the mechanics are enjoyable, and the game shows great potential. Kudos to everyone involved!
Love the 80's style. Great graphics. The music is short and very repetitive. Good work.
I like the graphics. The ship is pretty hard to control, but that fits the WE'RE GOING DOWN!!! idea. I think I would've preferred in audio for more sound design to add variety in the music. Neat work!
I really like the idea for the game, and the graphics of the clouds in the second phase of landing is reaally nice. I could see a future version of this idea expanded and fleshed out - particularly with a control rework. Maybe when you hit down to stop you can get a quick burst of speed again with the press of a button?
Overall, I like it a lot!
the game is gas, ship needs more drift but I SEE THE VISION
Great idea, with a perfect name and a huge potential for a mini-game.
It was hard for me to master the controls, but I enjoyed the game anyway.
Great job.
I love this style of game! This was a tough one, but I had fun playing it! great art work btw! solid stuff!
Really fun, this game is the perfect mix of chaos! Good job!
Fun game! I loved the concept, very retro arcade-y/bullet hell,. Personally I found it a bit too hard and the lack of any checkpoints (or at least ones that I reach) made it a bit frustrating. I think this is partially due to the control. This is mainly a skill issue but I would have appreciated a skill slider adjusting spawn rates or health amounts. The art and music were great, felt perfect for the game and it ran very smoothly!
Overall great game, Well done!
A pretty cool concept and great execution, the controls are a little bit clunky but thats fine. Music and graphics are ok. Overall a solid 7.5/10 :)
This is a really polished entry! At first I felt the controls were a bit stiff especially the turning but after a while i managed to get the hang of it. Gives me old sega retro vibes and i love it =D
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :D
