Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • 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.
  • Its giving Vampire Survivor but make it Asteroids! Wish the movement/turning felt more fluid, otherwise I enjoyed the roguelike elements and shipbuilding alot.

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/

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 1:33:25 <3 (Part 2)

It's a very cool game, I really liked it.

That's what you need, it doesn't really matter how you move, the main thing is the weapons you choose.

And of course, the explosions, which require special respect, are very high-quality in both senses.

Cool game mechanic that lets you replay the game to try diff combos
