Lovely graphics, wish there was some instructions though. I included it in my GameDevNetwork: Gooseberry Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Jupi, thanks for the review, we will make this game more understandable for people, just look forward for our updates

Didn't really understand how to play too, as it seems from below that its not very complete? Seems like it could be an interesting twist though (reverse space invaders?) Cool BGM and animations on the tentacles.

Developer

Hi, you just need to try to smash defender with your army, and try to have your score greater then zero. And it will be improved after jam

Your game had a wonderful look, but I found that the text and font in game weren't very legible. Thank you for including it in the game's description. I also thought the music was some of the best I had heard yet in the jam! I feel as if the game play itself is a bit confusing? I'm not sure if I'm just replaying or if there are actual levels? The aesthetic overall is really cool and more content would make it much stronger!

Developer

Hi Will, thanks for your comment. 

About text legibility: We've wanted to use even more weirder font for Hyttkvarn speech, because he is an alien, and only aliens could understand him %) . Currently we've combined replaying and leveling of the game, the defender becomes swifter on about 5% each time you replay the game. Unfortunately due to personal reasons, I as a programmer of this game, had only 2 days to accomplish a part of functionality that was purposed to do. And of course I'll complete everything that we've thought to do in this game after game jam. Currently, as I mentioned before, I'll make some minor fixes, for everybody to enjoy this game.

I don't understand. I tried to make my army avoid bullets. At the end all my army is destroyed but there is my(?) ship left at the bottom which I cannot control.

Developer

Hi nns2009, thanks for comment, currently we've done such logic, that you need to push your army toward the defender, to smash it by clicking "w" and "up arrow key". Currently Game Over screen isn't properly working, but I'll fix it in a couple of hours, and upload new version of game with this fix.

And of course, we've liked the idea of this game, and we want to improve it by getting a new version which will include some new interesting features, like different forms of formations, QTE for player mothership(to activate protective shield), leaderboard, and so on.

Beautiful visuals and original game concept! the movement could be a little more responsive though :p

Developer

Thanks @Scayze, of course we will tune up this game in a while, it's our first try, and we are glad that you liked it!
