This felt like a schmup squeezed into the theme...
But I played, and I kept playing, and I killed the boss, and I kept playing, and playing. Its quite a chill game. I very much enjoyed the collecting mechanisms, but I get the feeling there's a bit of scope creep going on. Was boost useful? I think I was buying stuff? Were the later weapons balanced. What was I supposed to do with the other ships - avoid them?
I found this a god experience though, it scratched my schmup-itch.
This game was excellent, the graphics were great and the progression to the boss was good - the keep your distance theme seemed to again be to avoid the objects like the other games - it would have been good to see more play on the theme in the game mechanics - but it was altogether a great game and fun to play!
Hey, I feel like the jam theme is only here in the loosest "avoid the danger" kind of way, it would have been nice to see more inventive ways to play with the theme.
That said, this feels like one of the better entries in terms of the fun factor, the gamefeel and audiovisual presentation. The sound and sense of movement are both really slick!
