How does your game match the theme?
The game has a 'Space' theme with Aliens and a 60's Style Space Cartoon Hero. The game also uses the concept of space in regard to upgrades, each character has a limited number of upgrade slots, and when they are all used up, future upgrades will replace existing ones.

That was fun! The art is also pretty good. Though, it was fairly easy; I never felt like I was in danger of being overwhelmed, since damage + spread + attacks was a solid combo.

The audio is imbalanced. The coin sounds are much louder than the other sounds; they repeatedly peaked my speakers.

Good work! Congratulations on the submission!

Love me a good survivors game. Great job with this! I like the idea of using inventory space for the theme, choosing places for powerups was pretty novel at first. But honestly, the player levels up so slowly after the first few upgrades that I wasn't able to ever max out the inventory. Also at some point during my run, the game just... closed? Didn't crash, the window just stopped being a thing. I was having fun though, and that's important. I don't think the Gameboy'd be able to render so many enemies to the screen at once, but that aside I really liked the sprite work for the enemies and player. Had a great time overall, be proud of this one!

Also, when I reopened the game, the mouse was in the window and transformed into the left-right drag icon. I dragged out of curiosity, and the window froze then closed. We love game jam bugs!

That's what I get for implementing full screen functionality in the last 5 hours of the game. Thanks for playing!
