SFX aren't my favorite, but the gameplay is addicting! Really fun! Rating system is great too, and the distance meter is a great way of having a high score, and acts as a timer, but fits with the theming of the game.

I didn't manage to go to the end but it was fun, the different bonus and the 3 weapons bring some cool variety and the title screen is great, maybe the stars could have been darker for less confusing them with the projectiles but nice work overall!

Very entertaining game, i like the variety and power-ups and it really feel very gameboy-ish. It was a good time beating it, and am the queen of space! :D

Cool game! Just like Xenon 2: Megablast, but for GameBoy.

I think the GameBoy style is preserved perfectly. Good job!

Controls took a while to get used to, but overall this was  a very fun game with great visuals (although they probably looked too good to feel like an authentic game boy game!)

I am really impressed by all the abilities you crammed in here. I think this is probably my favorite SHMUP i've played in this jam so far.

The ship felt weird to control at first but I got used to it after a while. I like the game's concept.

Nice game, I always enjoy shooters.

One comment I have is that the left/right feels a bit floaty.

Great fun concept! movement controls and game controls felt good.

Really cool game! 

The ship momentum felt weird at first, but I got used to it quickly. I had to take a coffee break and left the game paused. After a couple house chores I came back, unpaused and automatically won the game. I think your parsec meter is ticking during pause too.

Nice graphics and gameplay, keeping the ghost ships alive is quite a challenge.
Looking forward to see how this game evolves. Great work!!
