Really interesting idea and good difficulty curve. I like that you implemented multiple difficulties. I think it would be good to mention that you can charge your dash by holding down the mouse button. Also I find a funny bug where if you turn your ship in both directions in the first asteroid level you get hit by the asteroid but also avoid it and can continue in a sort of quantum superposition.

Developer

Thank you! We tried some experimetal mechanics. Glad you like it. That's definitely a bug haha. We'll update after the jam.

I had quite a fun time dashing my ladybug around my spaceship... until the asteroids started coming when my ship eventually got destroyed :/ 

I'll confess that I played on the "Normal" setting for a less difficult time. I appreciate that you included such an option.  The dashing mechanic felt very satisfying and the combo system kept me on my toes as I tried to line up multiple hits. Very well done!

The core mechanic of this game is very juicy, which ya love to see. Dashing through things feels so satisfying, and setting up combos feels even moreso. Great job!

Developer

We worked hard to make the presentation and juice nice. Glad you like it!

Really like the gameplay, the mechanic for the dash is very addictive.

Coming from the "Rate and Share" discord thread :)

Really REALLY good game feel. You obviously spent the time to get the dashing and invincibility mechanics solid.

And your sound design has been the best of any game I've played so far.

Awesome game!

As an astronomy fanatic, I loved so much the space esthetic. Very fun game and a challenging one nice work!

A very fun, high-octane game! I unfortunately couldn't reach any of the endings... I got stuck on the level where you have to deal with the missile enemies and the asteroids at the same time. I can last for a while, but for some reason it feels like there's no progress made towards the warp drive even with 12x combos or whatever.

Dashing through enemies and chaining combos up is super fun!

Developer

Thank you! All levels are unlocked if you want to try them all. The bar fills with particles, enemies only fill it in one level.

Loved this game!

It's intense and entretaining, all a jam game needs to be great.

What else can I say that is not in the other comments?

Fun fast game with cool art style and great audio.  Also a Ladybug - what's not to love!

fast-paced wild ride, loved the look of the maps and graphics as well as how it ramps up in chaos as levels go on!

That was actually quite fun to play. I was not expecting at all the mechanic to skip the asteroids. Nice gameplay.

loved your style of animations and effects :) the tutorial is simple and straight forward, and the gameplay feel is nice and handy!

Like I already said during development, the way the character moves and dashes really feels nice. The different gameplay elements introduced keep it interesting too. I stopped at level 5 but played level 6 during development. The game is well polished, great job!

Thank you! All levels are unlocked if you want to try them all.

I like how we can combine powerups in dash mechanics to lengthen the dash !

I really like the story.
The game is fun. UI could be polished and the game will look even better!
Also, vengeful bugs ftw!

I like this style of top down game. It reminds me of a way better version of Neopets games. The UI is really well done and overall the game has really nice polish.

I love the dash mechanics. The only problem is that I lost my cursor few times, and I ended up far in space :D

I enjoyed playing the game! The dash mechanic and exploding radioactive squares were a nice touch, although it took me a while to figure out that those were the radioactive squares and that I needed to dash into them to charge the warp core.
