Smooth movement and fast-paced gameplay!

Nice little top down scroller! Just like the classics.

The movement and coin animations felt simplistic but polished, everything worked well. The only complain for me is that some enemies would spawn a little too much outside of the screen, rendering completely invisible, specially annoying with the triangle torpedo enemies.

Overall a very enjoyable game, great work!

Agreed with Grasbock.. This feels pretty polished and is quite fun!


Check out ours when you get a chance. Definitely want to hear what you think. Thanks!

Even though this game is built on a very old idea, the execution is very good!
It is really well polished, which makes it very pleasant to play.

I always really enjoy the type of games that build abilities as you play, so naturally this has to be one of my favorites so far! I can't really even think of anything that needs tweaking, so well done!

Awesome little space shooter game. I liked the timeline shifting mechanic. I feel that really tied it into the theme and the upgrades system made the game fun to keep playing. Very polished

Love the graphics and fonts! Everything is very integrated and well put together. The idea is also very interesting.

Cool Game! Everything was great! Nice and simple and very polished. The only thing that needs some work is that purple enemy little to hard. Also sound effects and a little bit of screen shake would have added so much! Maybe after the jam you do that then put it on mobile. Also the white on light blue text is a little hard to read.

Juice is all I'm about, and you gave me just that !

Definitely would need some sound effects, but hey, we all know how hard it is to fully polish a JAM game ;)

I think it would be worth it to adapt and build this game on mobile !

I find the art really aesthetic, it's a mood in itself. The gameplay feels smooth and everything clicks together. wp

Game is really fun and addictive, yet simple. I like the mechanic of keeping random upgrades after death. Purple enemies are absolute monsters if you let them live and stack, they make the game a really hard bullet hell. I guess they need some balancing. Overall, it is an amazing game.

P.S. I remember your entry from the previous Brackeys game jam. Nice stuff :)

Cool space game! I had a ton of fun playing this, maybe try out my game?

Cool interpretation of the theme.

I like the retro look. This fits very well with the nature of the game. The sprites have a really nice style

The only thing that irritated me is that you could not shoot from time to time.

Nice concept and really polished :). I really enjoyed the upgrade system and the different types of enemies. I don't really have any feedback, great work!

Really nice game! 

Very polished entry with great animations and juice.

The text in the upgrade screen was a bit difficult to read though.

Had lots of fun playing this! Well done.

Fun game. It looks very polished and the idea is nice and fits the theme quite good. Movement controls felt good and the upgrades are unique and nice

Some feedback:

  • The white text on the cyan/blue background of the upgrades is not very readable. (But I can manage)
  • Is there a way in which you can see which upgrades you have, or which upgrades you take to the next iteration?
  • It feels a bit strange that the ship pauses shooting bullets after some time while holding space.

Overall pretty nice game though, well done :^}

Hi, artist here! Thanks a lot for mentioning these issues, we'll add them to our to-do list!

Regarding the bullets, it was mentioned that it was a reload function. We could make an indicator for that, but in order to be much clearer to the player, it should be pointed out within the tutorial scene.

Again, thank you for the feedback, and I hope you enjoyed our little game!

Such a polished game, really love the way you guys did the tutorial at the start and the animations!
