great game, it's a bit rought to destroy some hordes. but still is fun

I really like the colors and design for this! The game itself is cool, I think there’s an issue with the tracking mechanic for the enemy ships, because they would mostly just get in one big cluster when following me. I had a hard to seeing what difference the upgrades made, though after a few plays it made sense. I’m not sure if it was a bug or not, but on one of my plays I did a few upgrades, and then I couldn’t find any enemy ships! Everything was gone… started to feel a little creepy after a few minutes of searching.

Great job overall though!

The ships not spawning is a bug. I sadly didnt notice it until the end of the game jam

Very cool idea. I would say the visuals need a little work but all in all very nice.

:D

Looks and sounds very good. The bullet hell aspect was very fun, because the Boost ability gives the player a convenient way to dodge the absurd blizzard of missiles. And no slowdown, even when the screen filled with enemies and projectiles!

Unfortunately, I wasn't sure how to get to my goal. I saw an arrow on the instructions page pointing to the goal, but I never saw that arrow while playing the game.

Its in the top right corner. Its an X until you collect enought scrap

Ahhh, I understand. I didn't actually see scrap onscreen. Is it collected automatically when I kill enemies?

I dig the vibe!

Couldn't figure out what to do when I went into the squares, a new menu came up but I couldn't seem to progress.

You press w and s to select an upgrade and space to use it

I like the graphics, and the horde of enemies following you is pretty awesome!

But I think I'm missing something. Probably just me being dense. Do you actively collect scrap? Or does it just happen as you fly around? My meter does go up and fill eventually, but I don't know why. I expected to have to find some scrap material that I could see.

Do my weapons actually do any damage? I played through a few rounds of upgrading and never saw visible signs that my weapons actually hurt the enemies. Or maybe they are collecting scrap somehow?

The game seems solid and flying around is fun. I feel like maybe I'm missing a key little bit of information will make it all make sense to me.

You get scrap by killing enemies. They drop a scrap part wich flies torwards you and fills up your meter when you collect it. I should have made it more clear. And for the damage: Your damage decreases when you add more bullets.

ah, thank you!

I got confused at first by the scrap flying towards the ship, since I thought it was enemy bullets haha
