This game was amazing! I love the art, music, and minimalistic UI. A couple of things to make better are the bullet noises get way too loud and the controls make it so you cannot shoot the other planes without getting hit since you basically have to divebomb them while shooting.

Great game, I like the design of the planes. One improvement I will do is to remove the collision with your teammates, I got stuck a lot because of them.
Cool entry! Here are my complete feedback:
* Positive points
- Dynamic shoot'em up gameplay
- Good pixel art style on the planes
- Interesting concept
----
* Negative points
- The sound is a bit loud, and the main theme is quite annoying
- The main airplane can go off-screen
=> Overall gg for your work!
This is definitely a good concept, but it needs some polishing. The way enemies can just sit in one spot while the player character is forced to fly like an airplane and only fires forward doesn't really seem to make sense and is somewhat frustrating. A bigger issue though is the companion planes. They just swarm the player and once you have 10+ of them they push you off screen making gameplay impossible.
Lastly, planes should explode on collision! It's named Kamikaze! lol
Thanks for playing and the constructive comment. The enemy's AI will definitely need rework to have better movement. About the control, I still want to keep having only mouse control but will definitely change/adjust it in some way to improve it. The collision between the player and will be turned off in the future or adding avoidance logic. And lastly, I ran out of time for making the ramming mechanics lol.
This is very Simple but amazing game ... Keep it up .
Fun little game, fits the theme really nicely. I think it would've been nice to have a bigger space to fly around in, as it gets crammed really quickly with all the planes you recruit. The music also feels slightly inadequate for the setting, being really calm. Other than that nice job!
I had big fun time with this game. Feels very powerful after a while.
Very nice work.
this kind of felt like an old SNES or arcade machine game, I really liked it!
I enjoy the premise and the graphics were beautiful. It'd be cool to see a little more methodical game play rather than shooting spam and the kamikazes were pushing me off screen sometimes but it's super fun to see the wave of bullets and would be love to play any updates.
Thanks for playing. Would definitely change the level for more dynamic gameplay in the future. I do notice the allies are pushing too much on the player in my trial test but ran out of time to fix it. Will try to disable their collision in the next update or implement flocking/boid avoidance to have better control on allies.
The game feel is really good. It's got satisfying shooting, and I felt like a Bad-A(pple) when I had a ton of ships.
Really fun, loved how crazy it gets by collecting a ton of allies. I'd suggest having something written about the controls, and how to fire. To be honest, I thought it was so much fun that i was sad it ended. Maybe in future versions you can generate enemy waves randomly, this way the game can go on.
Incredibly reactive and juicy experience! Well done! Consider trying out my submission as well and leaving a rating too (:
It was pretty fun, but the ally AI just meant that more often than not they were shooting me instead of the enemies!
this game was a fun, when you kill the enemies quick enough you end up with a whole army of planes and its just chaos, gave me a laugh. good job my fellow human!
