Not bad Bro!

Sound design is really satisfying but its a bit difficult to progress.

A bit complex control. Overall great job.

This concept is really cool because it encourages the player to be very careful about how they make each move. This is a great game! One thing I noticed was how the difficulty ramped up a bit quite quickly. I also might have found a glitch where if you lost and restarted it starts you on the first round at the same wave you died last on. Maybe it's intentional, though.

Overall, awesome game!

I think that the difficulty increases too fast. Anyways, good job!

Great concept, difficult at first but very fun and fully applies the topic .
I like the sound effects, reminds me a bit to the old Atari games.
I think the score system doesn't work.
Great game. Congrats!

Interesting take on the theme and nice feel for the moment to moment gameplay

Really interesting, lots of things going on under the surface. Liked the micro-managing of three things at once amidst the bullet hell gameplay, adds a lot of depth.

The keyboard scheme (Q + E, and A + D) make it harder to control both the shield and the larger circle / base at once, e.g., to move the same direction -- this makes the game difficult, as I can't really position my fingers to control both the shield and base at once which I think would make the micro-managing mechanic even more interesting. I don't know if that was intentional.

Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for playing, A and D was a extra feature for enemy attacks we didn't implement, it didn't cross my mind somebody would think you have to use o:

Could you rate my game if you get the chance?

Very interesting game! The concept is something I havent seen so far and quite enjoyable. The music fits as well as the rising difficulty of the game. Its hard to control at first, but gets easier the more you play. The game has so much potential!

Developer

Thank you! I do wish to developt it further

great game! the concept is really nice and original, most entries are about the player getting stronger, but you gave it a twist. the simple art and colors works really well since it helps you realize where the danger is. the music fits very nice and gives the sensation of being in the space.

and abt the gameplay, it's very difficult to move yourself, move the shield, and shoot at the same time hahaha but after a few tries you get used to it and it is very fun! the mechanic of waiting the enemies to gather more material is very interesting,  and i always like when games have upgrade systems in it ;)

the only thing i have problems with is the balancing, the waves 1 and 2 are very enjoyable, since begins with only one enemy on screen, but from wave 3, not only there are more enemies, they shoot more bullets and there are too many asteroids, maybe you could introduce this things gradually, and it doesn't help that the shop is very expensive and the upgrades don't make much difference.

but overall this is a great game! it has so much potential ^_^ good job!

Git Gud...jk
Imagine if we had implemented enemies that needed you to move horizontaly lol. We wanted to do the progression more elegantly but time went flying and we just put a few levels so that players could feel what the game was about.

Thanks for commenting!

I love the game! The concept is good, and I could play this for while to try and get better. The graphics are simple, and I like it, but try randomizing the asteroids' graphics to make it more special and less repetitive. The music is nice, and the sound effects add some flare. Overall, the game is great.

Submitted(+2)

good game! it fitted the theme very well, i liked the idea and the graphics fits the kind of game you are making!

Submitted(+2)

Great game but very difficult

Submitted(+2)

Nice! The mechanics are simple, but actually using them can take some practice. The game is fun and juicy, good job!

Submitted(+2)

A fun little game! Although either it's super hard or I just suck real bad at it! Great job

Submitted(+1)

It's fun but little to hard

Submitted(+1)

that game was so fun! 

Submitted(+1)

I like the fast pace nature of the game and having to manage all of the controls and the graphics and audio are great. One thing that I would prefer is sort of a more visible way of seeing the enemies get stronger try out my game if you want Rate Pieces by [Insert Username ere] for Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1 - itch.io

Thanks for playing ! yeah I feel the same, we didn't communicate that well the growth of the enemies
