Very chaotic, very good looking and very fun game. I would love to see a multiplayer mod so I could fight my friends. One thing, sounds almost destroyed my ears when I started the game, but that was my fault for having my pc on max volume. :)

It's a nice shoot 'em up that reminds me of a number of classic and not so well known arcade games. Kinda felt like your ability to control the ship with your thrusters, to be poor. Especially if you were attacking, in that it pushed you back too much. Still fun to play.

This game is excellent, I’m a huge fan of asteroids-style space shooters where a more force/acceleration system is incorporated and this game nails that. I also think having recoil on the firing is a really good addition to the formula, because it provides incentives to actually aim and be careful rather than spamming. I’d love to see a multiplayer version, because it’s a lot of fun and I could see it being great with friends. My only gripe would be it can be a little too easy to spin out of control sometimes, but this only happens occasionally and could easily be fixed by toning down the recoil a little or increasing the steering thrust.

Hey man thanks for the feedback! The spinning out definitely needs some work so we'll see what I can come up with! I definitely want to add multiplayer but boy does it seem daunting!

I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

Heya - thanks for the feedback! The "Battle" gamemode was definitely my favorite part of it too. Adding some drag is something to consider for sure. Maybe I'll make some maps with drag and others without drag based on the setting.

Nonetheless, I'm glad you liked the game :)

A fun Idea for the Jam because it really felt chaotic. Although I felt the controls annoying after some time and getting pushed around by everyone was fun at the beginning.

I really like the way of controlling the ship (reminds me of ksp), and its a pretty fun game. But I found it kind of annoying the ship being pushed back whenever I shoot.

One of the features I wanted to add during the jam was a screen transition whenever you changed levels. I wanted to include hints to help out new players. One of the hints would have been "Having a hard time with the kickback from your laser cannons? Try using your main thruster while shooting!" Another hint woulda been "flying at a wall at top speeds? Try shooting at it to slow yourself down!" But alas - I ran out of time and couldn't add that feature.

But anyways, thanks for playing the game! I'm gonna try to hone what I have after I'm able to post updates again :)
