- Its giving Vampire Survivor but make it Asteroids! Wish the movement/turning felt more fluid, otherwise I enjoyed the roguelike elements and shipbuilding alot.
- Wow, genuinely surprised by how fun this ended up being since shooters like this aren't usually my thing, but this was one of my favorites! Small choices here were great -- even just the zoom in at the start of the level that lets you see where enemies are starting. Great pacing and introduction of new enemies. At first I was like dang, I can only shoot from one side? But the custom ship feature realigned that belief pretty quickly! Only word of wisdom is that the music being intense the whole time can be a bit tiring and make it overall less powerful. Different track for ship customization and menu would be great.
- The combat is really fun and the upgrades you get between stages add a lot of variety. Sometimes dodging projectiles felt a little rough, but other than that I don't have any complaints.
How does the game fit into the theme?
With only your left and right arrowkeys, you must steer your ship to dodge bullets and align your weapons to blast away your enemies. You can't stop moving forward. Good luck and have fun!
Also, we're planning to expand this and put it on Steam. Check out the page here and wishlist! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3592710/Neon_Striker/

Fantastic, I love games with customizable vehicles and this game does that great. Reminded me of Istrolid.
Very nice feedbacks. The game is very satisfying! I really enjoyed it!
Hello!
Congratulations on this game! It's really well-designed and feels super complete. There are so many different gameplay combinations, and the difficulty is really well-balanced, it starts off easy but gradually becomes quite challenging towards the end, giving players time to build up their skills!
The controls are also great, and I really liked the ability to customize the ship. 🚀
Great game for a game jam, had a lot of fun playing it!
Really fun! I found a fun bug, you can put multiple upgrades on the same field and if you then die they are still there the next run lol
Thanks! And yeah that bug was introduced last minute when I deleted some unused code. Turns out the code had a use after all! As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I really like mechanics of this kind, and the visual style fits them well.
Good game! Very like the ship add on each level !
It was fun to play. Love how weapon works. But here is some problem with balance, drill is OP.
Cool iteration on the vampire survivor idea with the movement. Also that explosion animation is just chef's kiss! Good job! Enjoyed it.
Had a great time playing! If you’re into platformers, my game throws a nerd into gym madness—let me know what you think!
A lot cool things going on from multiple ship select to a load of maps and wepons overall Good game !

Nice game, I would say has potential. My suggestion would be to zoom out a bit and maybe smoothen or even keep the camera static and not rotating. Love the directional weapons!
I loved how the customization worked in this game! Reminds me of the captain trilogy. I also liked the UI and art, it was very sleek and satisfying. Great job! :)
Very well done, I got all the way to Act 2 with the Speed ship and then couldn't upgrade anymore :(
Very good gameplay, easy to understand, lots of enemies and upgrades!
what a well executed idea! the upgrade / customization is what makes this game shine in my opinion. i loved synergies like using the reloader, and thinking through which weapons i want where, and how to fly to best utilize them. brilliant system design. the combat was a little frustrating to me, but is still implemented very cleanly. i'll keep coming back to this game for sure! i love using the red ship currently.
I love this! Super polished. The only problem I had with it is the camera/parallax while turning was pretty disorienting for me. I am super sensitive to stuff like that so I couldn't keep playing even though I wanted to. I really liked it though so nice job!
That was such a well executed idea !!!
I love the gameplay and I can totally see this game having like an endless mode hahaha
Great job I had a ton of fun !!!

This.. is a masterpiece. To make this in one week would be a monsterous task. You are one madlad. also thanks for using the google form lol
Thanks! It was a team effort, so actually two madlads.
Game is really fun, camera made me a bit dizzy an optin to toogle the camera rotation would be nice!
Besides that is pretty awesome and super well made! :)
