I loved the bullet noises and screen shake! This game felt great. I wish my own bullets did not hurt me though.
Cool game with some interesting ideas going on. I particularly liked the way you made sure to encourage more tactical, sparing use of your weapon compared to holding down the fire button constantly, made for an interesting dynamic to the gameplay. I'll say that I found the starting shield size to be a bit too small, but the ability to upgrade this took the edge off this issue a bit, even if I'd still personally have liked it if it were a tad larger. Other than this, the game also had a really nice sense of progression to it, and the ability to upgrade stuff provided an interesting risk-reward dynamic given how it gave a reason to leave enemies on the screen for longer and amass a larger amount of money to become more powerful. While the game didn't vibe too well with me personally, I can really see the appeal of it and think that this feels extremely polished, interesting, and just well made in a lot of respects, great job with this one.
If you have the time, I'd also really appreciate it if you checked out my game.
Thank you for playing ! we definitely have to do some playtest with people so hone things like the shield size.
Really fun game! The controls are a little confusing at first but you get used to it after some time. The game feels clean and finished. It's also really fun trying to get a better high score and I've suprised myself playing multiple games. I would suggest adding power-ups, and something like a little help when you're at low health. Would love if you could rate my game too!
Thank you for playing!
Really good concept, the theme doesn't really fit, maybe try implementing moving funtionality for the blue shield so I can move it, that way it would fit the theme more I think.
What do you mean? , you can move the blue shield with "q" and "e". Also, the way we think it fits the theme was by the enemies becoming stronger by getting together and fusing .
Nice game but hard for me to play
We are sorry we couldn't balance it better during the time we had, but we are glad you liked the game nonetheless. After the jam is over, I plan to come back and make many fixes and upgrades to this game to make it more balanced and more varied (new enemies, new ship upgrades).
I like the minimalist look of the player and enemies.
Thank you
You're welcome. Don't forget to play our game as well :)
This game is very fun. Good job
We are happy to hear that, thanks for playing it. I plan to make fixes and upgrades to the game after the jam is over, if you are interested, you could try it again by then.
This game is really well made. I like how "tactile" the sounds are and I while the controls can be confusing at times, this game really nails the core gameplay loops. I love the retro graphics, especially the vector art style. It looks great! Good job!

If you could pass by and rate our game, that would be greatly appreciated!
I like the concept though I'm a bit confused with the controls. I can's use A and D to move the ship while using Q and E to move the shield. Nice audio, by the way, good job!
The concept was really nice.
I had some confusing moments (about ending the scenario and if my bullets were hurting me). The shield also seemed less useful than just shooting everything.
I really enjoyed the audio (both music and effects) and the games was very responsive. The retro aspect fits the game.
Your bullets and asteroids don't damage you while on a menu or after using the core weapon, though we decided to keeps the visual and audio effects of getting hit. Also thanks for playing our game
Good arcade. Aldo fun!

Cool arcade
Great game and aldo fun, In game text is a little confising.
This was a fun game! The difficulty did kind of go from 0 to 100 real quick.
Gets quite tough! I enjoyed this. Top work!
Interesting game.
Really fun game! The game feel is on point, and the audio just makes it better. It doesn´t feel that innovating tho, and imo doesn´t fit the theme that much. Is still a great game and the graphics look great :). Good job.
I liked the simpistic design of the game . realy fun ! Good Job !
