very nice game! Maybe add some music to flare up the game play.

The movement is very good and responsive! The strong contrasts in colors made it very easy to see what was going on.
Criticisms/Suggestions:
Not sure why the amount of bullets mattered when shooting at a black hole.
There may be too many light effects, could ease up on those.
The sounds fit the game, but there could be music, too (not just the title screen).
Ability to restart with the keyboard would be appreciated. Same with navigating the menus.
Difficulty should probably ramp up over time in a single play session.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll be right on it! but before, let me clarify (and answer) some of the points:
1. It's really just another gameplay portion, it doesn't really make sense but i thought i should emphasize the black holes more so i made them super dangerous by not only them eating bullets but also punishing you for doing it too much.
2. Ok! I'll dial it down a bit
3. In the re-release i hope i get some music in as well for the gameplay, but in the jam i was kinda lazy about sounds
4. I'll investigate how to make buttons clickable with the keyboard, thanks!
5. This problem is fixed in a new version of the game I made a bit after the jam started, so i cant upload it :(
Thanks again!
Very simple to understand. I like the reflex gameplay and minimalist aesthetics you got going on. I do think the bloom effect on everything is a bit unnecessary. While I'm talking about negatives, it feels like the game should be speeding up as it goes on, but it stays pretty consistent, which is bad because the player can get high scores without much challenge. Overall this is a good outing, but it needs more.
I get more than 1000 score that was not displayed lol, pretty shure you could easily make a mobile version
Very nice and simple game. I like the CRT screen theme. Be sure to give mine a try too :)
Even though it has a very simplistic style, It really seems polished and well thought through. Keep up the good work!
Fun and simple game. I liked challenging myself to do better. Good job!
Fun little simple game, seems very clean and polished. Did not experience any bugs. Well done I enjoyed it.
