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

It's very well done. It seems like it was months of work. A couple more levels and you could publish it on Steam. Very fun, I got stuck at the end and couldn't beat the boss.
This is a super cool game! Even with the simple controls, projectile and ship speeds are surprisingly well balanced, making dodging and positioning your weapons super fun. I'm really impressed with the completeness of the game. I'm particularly impressed with the ship customization and even being able to chose from multiple ships. Great job!
