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.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Glad you like the art. The sound effect and the control are back to the drawing board. These will be fixed in the next update.

Pretty cool game, I really like the graphics and expolsion effects. The audio just sounds a bit "f*d up" when there are many elements on the screen.

Developer

Thanks for playing. And Yes, the sound effect is bad. Will fix it in the next update.

cool game, one thing that stood out was the particle effects/explosions, amazing. Overall art /gameplay was great. Took me a few tries to figure out the green planes are allies and you control them too, but great job overall!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you like it.

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. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. And yes, I will remove the collision in the next update.

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!

Thanks for playing and helpful feedback. Hope you enjoy it while playing.  Will try to fix it and remake the main music track. The collision fixing of the player and allies will be my first priority for the next update.

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

Developer

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 .

Developer(+1)

Thanks :)

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!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I should remove the collision between allies and the player. I also feel the music is a bit off but no time for me to make another music track lol.

I had big fun time with this game. Feels very powerful after a while.
Very nice work.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Glad you like it.

Like the look and feel of the game. The controls are a bit hard to master though as your own planes bunch up and friendly fire is on? I would like it more if there was an option to move and shoot in different directions as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Actually, there is no friendly fire. But I should turn off the collision of player and allies aircraft. Originally, the game can move and shoot in a different direction but I found out this way to combine the two is better and more challenging.

Submitted(+1)

It feels really great to play and it tool me awhile to see which planes were my ally's and which were not. But, I quickly found out. overall great game it has great art style but the buttons don't really fit in with it.

Developer

Thanks for playing and your comments. Will try to adjust the UI art style in the future.

this kind of felt like an old SNES or arcade machine game, I really liked it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Glad you like it.

Fun, but gets repetitive kind of quick. Really enjoyed it though.

Developer

Thanks for playing and comments. Would definitely improve the level design for better and dynamic gameplay in the future version.

This is actually really fun and well made. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Good to know you like 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.

Developer

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.

Submitted(+1)

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.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Good to hear you like it.

Submitted(+1)

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.

Developer

Thanks for playing.  I ran out of time before able to create a tutorial level lol. Would definitely try to procedure generate level in the future.

Incredibly reactive and juicy experience! Well done! Consider trying out my submission as well and leaving a rating too (:

Developer

Thanks for playing. Would definitely check out your game.

It was pretty fun, but the ally AI just meant that more often than not they were shooting me instead of the enemies!

Developer

Thanks for playing. The allies are actually shooting in the same direction as the player and the allies' bullets will not collide with the player. I do admit there needs a lot more tuning on the behavior of the allies.

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!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. Glad you like it.
