Ranked from 37 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In my game the player is forced to move their mouse frantically and hit the space bar succesively in order to protect the earth by shooting missiles at the incoming asteroids.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote most of the code myself, i did follow some tutorials though. All the art assets are made by me.

Well done! It is a great game! the game aesthetic is nice and well-thought, the space + mouse combo was hard at first but quite chaotic in the end, overall nice work! 

Keep making games!

Developer

Thank you so much πŸ˜„,  i'm really glad that my game appealed to you, (i will be decreasing the difficulty level in the updated version πŸ˜‰)

I'll keep making games alright πŸ˜„πŸ˜„.

Submitted

GOOD!!

Developer

Thank youuuu πŸ˜„

Submitted

Great game, loved all of it except the music was a bit repetitive and annoying at some points

Developer

Thank you for playing my game πŸ˜„ and yes the music does suck i felt it so myself πŸ˜… i'm sorry for it and will try to make a better soundtrack for the updated version that i will post after the rating period πŸ˜‰.

Submitted

Congrats on your first game jam submission! I enjoyed playing this game, I hope you make many more

Developer

Thank you so much πŸ˜„I'm glad that you liked my game, i'll surely make more πŸ˜‰.

Submitted

Hey nice game! The music is good and the gameplay is decent, it gets chaotic the more you go into it, but the gameplay isn't fast paced enough to really feel like that.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback πŸ˜„, I'm glad you liked it πŸ˜‰.

Developer

Hey everyone, I'm currently working on making improvements to the game, any and all suggestions are welcome πŸ˜„.(pls provide the suggestions as a reply to this comment)

Nice little game! Definitely starts to feel very chaotic around the last wave. It might be nice to add some sort of effect to the asteroid to show it has been locked onto with the mouse, but I managed alright without. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing my game and giving your feedback on it, i really appreciate it πŸ˜„πŸ˜„. I did try to do something like that by scaling the size of the asteroid slightly when the mous hovers over it, but maybe thats not noticable ? Anyways sry for the trouble caused due to this, i intend to fix all issues soon and upload an updated version after the rating period πŸ˜„. (Btw i really enjoyed your game too πŸ˜‰)

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed playing the game, the controls became a bit cumbersome to gameplay around the final wave where you were limited by how quickly you could spam the click space combo.
It was well done and a fully realized game so great job. Definitely keen to see you do more development in the future :) Keep up the good work

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback and the support πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„.

Submitted

Nice game, but I think I am doing something wrong. I cannot get past the third asteroid.

Developer

Thank you for playing my game and commenting πŸ˜„ i apologize for the game not being intuitive enough for you πŸ˜₯, will improve in later games πŸ˜‰.

Submitted

Nice Game. similar to mine btw

Developer

Thank you πŸ˜„, ur game is similar to mine eh ? i'll surely check it out πŸ˜‰

Submitted

This was a cool game! The sound was great and the visuals were too! I just think you went a little too heavy with the post processing, which made the game look a little more like a first project. The gameplay was alright but I think you should've given the missile an AoE instead of just destroying a single meteor, would've made it way more satisfying to destroy a clump of meteors instead of spamming space and left click! Either way, pretty good for a first game!

Developer

I'm really glad that the game appealed to you in all aspects πŸ˜„πŸ˜„. I did add alot of post processing, i'll dial that down in further games for sure, thanks for the suggestionπŸ˜„πŸ˜„.  Could you tell me what AoE means ? (sry i'm a noob gamedevπŸ˜…).

Submitted

Sorry, it means area of effect, which is an area attack basically

Developer

ohh i see now, actually the way i've coded it is, the misssiles will only destroy the asteroid you have clicked on and will ignore all other coliisions. I could maybe add combo attacks in later versions of the game, anyways thanks for suggesting πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Submitted

I loved the after effects you added to the visuals. The sounds were incredibly satisfying too. I couldn't help but crack up to the sound effect that plays when you die.

Overall, a solid and fun experience. I made a space game too if you want to check it out :)

Thanksss, i'm glad you liked my game and happy that you noticed the meme sound effect i added to the death screen πŸ˜„

(sure i'll check out your game πŸ˜‰)

Submitted

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Submitted

The concept is really creative, and It’s alot of fun to play!! The music is a bit annoying tho since there’s no variation.

Developer(+1)

Thank youuu, i really appreciate you taking the time to play my game and comment on it πŸ˜„. I'm really not that good at music production actually, even i feel that my game lacks in the music aspect, will definetely improve on later games πŸ˜‰.

Submitted(+1)

Amazing, I wish you good luck!! 😊

Developer(+1)

By the way, can some one tell me if can make changes to the game and re upload it ? i mean will it be taken into consideration for the jam ?

Submitted

No that isn’t possible, you will not be able to re-upload it again I think.

Developer(+1)

oh ok πŸ˜₯

Submitted

Awesome graphics and fun early on. I think it got a bit punishing, and there is no way to actually destroy all those asteroids. Great concept though!

Developer

Thank you so much for taking time to play my game and comment on it, i have realised that difficulty is quite challenging will surely do better next time ! πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

Submitted

nice game, and the art is nice and cute. But I don't understand why you have to click and hit space bar, why don't you make it so you just click, that would be way better considering gameplay. Also the difficulty is REALLY high, I can't get past the 2nd wave, and usually for game jams you want the difficulty to be pretty low. but it's nice and polished and actually pretty fun. Nice job for your first finished game!

Developer

Firstly, thank you so much for playing my game and taking time to comment on it πŸ˜„πŸ˜„. The reason i made it so that u required to click the mouse button and hit spacebar is so that the gameplay becomes "chaotic" and the user is forced to feel the pressure. And as for why the difficulty level is so high, i decided it should be so as thats what brings in the element of chaos as the player is constantly on his toes trying to destroy the asteroids. I agree that the difficulty isnt that good gameplay wise but i think its apt for this specific jam and for this specific theme.

Thank you so much, i'm really glad that you liked my game, i do apologize for any inconveniences caused due to the increased difficulty level which seems like a common grievance amongst players but do note that this difficulty is exactly what makes the game "chaotic"πŸ˜‰. Btw the "bending visual effect" is called lense distortion and is part of the unity game engine's post processing stack. (also, thanks for following me, ur my first follower πŸ˜„πŸ₯³)

Submitted

I like the post-processing and the graphics. The game is pretty hard tho. You can make the difficulty a little weaker.

Developer(+1)

oh yea πŸ˜…, it is quite hard i did think of reducing the difficulty but left it  like that anyway, thank you so much for the feedback will act upon it πŸ˜„.

Submitted

Nice artwork, I especially like the rocket! A little confusing at first to figure out why I needed to both click and press space to get the rocket to fire but other than that great work! Very stable too.

My only criticism would be the music, it gets very annoying by the third loop! 

Developer

firstly, thank you so much for playing my game and taking time to comment on it πŸ˜„πŸ˜„. the reason i made it so that u required to click the mouse button and hit spacebar is so that the gameplay becomes chaotic and the user is forced to feel the pressure. As for the music yes it is quite bad honestly cuz i'm not into sound design much and dont know how to make good tracks, sry for that πŸ˜…
