How does your game match the theme?
This is a mecha-themed shoot-em-up set in outerspace. In the opening level you are tasked with dealing with a clutter of asteroids but soon stumble upon a mysterious threat from out of the great expanse.

This game has got style, ngl
Despite being relatively short, the content here is extremely promising. The art here is amazing, the gameplay is fun, the smol storyline is intriguing, and the music is amazing ( actually good use of all sound channels - pulse, wave, noise - something I haven't seen with that many entries that run on actual gameboys)
I have nothing bad to say about this game besides the fact that's its short, but it's a game jam. Things like this happen. :)
So overall, really strong entry in all places! I am very excited to see how the rest of the game will go (assuming you decide to continue this game, that is)!
Well to first answer your last paragraph, I am absolutely planning to finish this! Right now it isn't my immediate project (as I have something time-sensitive which I'm planning to release by the end of this month) but my hope is that I might be able to finish this before the year ends? I don't have a hard release date, and if I essentially finish it too late in the year, I would likely just then hold onto it for an early 2024 release and give it some polish, but honestly the game is not supposed to be a terribly lengthy experience, just something fun/exciting with an interesting narrative, so I'm hoping that it won't be too hard to create the handful of levels that I have planned and getting a game out before 24!
You really made me blush with your compliments, I mean all of these that I've been receiving have blown me away with kindness and the encouragement, especially irt music! I have a little bit of an art background but I only ever made gameboy chiptune with my recent TV-Chan's Great Escape game and I feel like I was able to outdo myself just a little with Elementaria, but I didn't think I'd be receiving as many compliments for it all the same o.o I am definitely encouraged to give the rest of the soundtrack it's due proper attention as I work on it.
Look forward to it for sure! And thanks again!
Very stylish presentation, nice! Looking forward to see how this game develops over time.
Thank you so much! I'll admit that I hadn't planned to start working on this game for possibly a couple of months but this jam provided an excellent opportunity to atleast start working on it, my hope is that I'll have it out before the year is over though, so look forward to it! And thanks again!
Love the character art and menu, soundtrack is fun too! Gameplay is very difficult though, I can't move fast enough to shoot the asteroids DX
Thank you so much for your feedback and for trying it out!
It's good to know that the level was difficult, I wasn't sure since I've grown used to playing it from playtesting, I want to make it a bit easier when the game is done though. My hope is that you can take atleast one or two additional hits in the final version of the game, though for this version I didn't have time to really implement the health system so it's a one-hit deal ^^;
I may also make the character movement a tad faster, thank you for letting me know what you thought!
Really pretty game and loved the soundtrack! Well done
asiujhdadsuhdsa the music is what i was probably most self conscious about so thankyou so much!
the graphics are good :)
Thank You so much! I knew I wouldn't have time to make much for this jam, but I wanted it to atleast look very nice ^^ so these compliments feel relieving!
Love the graphics! really reminds me of Evangellion :)
Thankyou! I'm happy the inspiration bled through ^^;
