The game works well and is fun to play! Your concept seems unique as well. I loved the music and the starship art style, but in my opinion the backgrounds don't really fit that well. I also had a small issue where i'd have to constantly reselect the bay i wanted to use. Nice submission :)

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Normally, a Galaga-type game would send you the chaos and you'd need to deal with it. In this case, you can unleash chaos on the hero!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all my own code, and made the vast majority of the assets myself. Credits are included in the project.

Wow, that's a great idea! This would be even better with more advanced AI, although I know it's not something easy to, if you keep at it you can make this a great game! I also felt like a "fail state" is missing, or either I didn't notice I could lose the game. The sound for when the ships pass through was a funny touch! Overall a good entry for the jam!
Fantastic idea. Every unique and different and works really well. Great work!!! Keep it up.

Reverse, Rewind, RetryA game with an awesome idea. People do not think that he will play as a villain, And You got an awesome impression here. Playing as a villain is an awesome dude. Having a mission for the hero and stoping him from the villains might be a great idea, i know you didnt get time for that . Afterall Great one.
Try Our Game, Hope you will like it.

Leave the Chaos BehindReally clever idea! I love the reversal of getting to be the enemies! I really enjoyed getting to throw out tons of ships at once and have them swarm the hero from both sides. I think maybe there could be a goal for the hero, such as blowing up a bunch of walls (kind of like in Space Invaders) and the objective is to prevent that from happening. With the current setup, I feel like I can take a lot of damage without any consequences. Either way, really cool game, awesome work!
If you have a chance to rate our game as well, we would really appreciate it! Thanks! :)

Banquet Brawl!A very interesting concept. Some losing condition can give the game a bit more challenge.
A very good game overall. Nice work.

Pew Pew HarmonyHi,
I found your game really interesting, the basic mobile game but from the other side. It was pretty fun at the beginning, but it became too easy, I was spamming the most expensive stuff in the game, and I couldn't lower my money. I think you should add a goal to the hero, so the player can actually lose, and balance the game a little bit (like reducing the money you get every second). Great game.
Also, if you have rated my game, would help me a lot.
Thanks for the feedback! With some further training of the AI, hopefully it gets a little more adept. I aim to add abilities to the hero like popping shields or dropping bombs to take care of most of the units. I also plan on adding things like making minions drop power-ups for the hero like these games would do in reverse. Hopefully, changes like those will make it more of a challenge :)
i love general idea and game is pretty good so far good job!
could you check out my game too?

Let There Be CoughThis concept is genious! The execution is unbelievebly well.
I could really see how this would be a game on the app store for $2 that turns up all over youtube because of weird advertisements. Jokes aside, this game feels very well polished.
The ai, or whatever, for the hero is really worked out. Instead of it just flying straight and shooting it actually tries to survive!
It is a little bit easy to unlock the bigger ships, incriesing prizes on anything by around 50% - 100% would already make this a lot more interesting.
Other than that I really have nothing to say about this beside; good job!

Magic MayhemGood game concept and presentation. Your idea is really smart but I think you should polish the game more and spice it up a bit to keep player entertaining and having a good time playing your game! Keep it up!
Also I would love to have your feedback and rating on my game, Chaos Variants

Chaos VariantsLove the game concept! Wish there were more enemy type to send out! The heroes should have different abilities as well. Enjoyed the game concept!

Cosmic ChaosThe concept is amazing! Reverse shoot-em-up has a lot of potential. There are balancing issues and only one boss, but it still can be worked on. I think it's an amazing concept! Nice game!

Merchant ThiefThanks @ThatANonoWord! I certainly want to develop it further, and I definitely want to make it more than a one-sided fight. Thanks for the feedback!
