Fun idea, I liked that I could also grab the enemy bullets. The presentation and the story is cute.

Developer

Thank you! Hope you had fun playing my game

It’s fun, It could use more variety in obstacles, maybe power-ups or different types of bullets to spicy up, but it’s a good game.

Thanks for the suggestions! I would definitely add those into future expansion of this game.

Submitted

Congratulations, you did the impossible: making an escort mission fun and addicting!

Developer

Thank you! I am glad that you had a lot of fun playing my game

Submitted

Well, that is a very cool game mechanics :O
And The game looks amazing and so juicy !

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game

Nice introduction. Great mechanics, I like the idea of moving bullets (and that you have no control when these bullets appear at all). Nice particles, screen shake and sound effects, these add some game juice to it.

I like the art, but one suggestion here: when doing pixel art, consider keeping pixel size the same on all assets.

Excellent job!

Developer

Thanks for pointing that out! It must be the problem about my work flow. I made the characters with piskel, it's nice for animation, but not as good at building a scene of things and compare their size, the biggest problem is that I did not pay attention to the object sizes in my prototype, which leads to the different scaling of sprites. 

Thanks a lot for the advice! I'm glad you enjoyed my game.

Really good game and take on the theme! I find the idea of the out of control being an incompetent pilot that you need to help cover for really nice. The presentation in the game is really good and I like how the game ramps up by eventually having enemies shoot their own bullets which you can also grab

Developer

Thank you very much!

I implemented enemy projectiles so that it can compensate for the rising enemy numbers. Originally, I was hoping to create scenarios that you throw those projectiles away from the ship, however, with the current ship behavior, its very hard to dodge bullets.  A lot could be improved.

I'm glad that you had a nice time playing my game.

Pretty good game! It was really polished and I really liked the main mechanic, it felt so original. Definitely a fun to play game, I enjoyed a lot.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my game

the game is very well polished i love it

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it

A fun and interesting mechanic that I'd like to see developed further. It is weird how the bullets are unaffected by gravity until you bounce them up, and the limited space feels a bit claustrophobic. The music and sounds help set the mood, and the story matches the gameplay nicely. Great work!

Developer

You have a good point! I think that if I can make the ship smarter, dodging bullets by itself, i may be able to expand the area to allow for more interesting maneuvers. Thanks for playing my game!

Submitted

Great main mechanic! Also, pretty nice visual polishing.

Developer

Thank you! Hope you had fun playing my game

Very fun
Less fun : it crashed my laptop

Developer

Dang,  what happened XD

Never expected my game to be that "over the top"

Submitted

This is a really fun game! The mechanic of grabbing bullets feels good. would like to have played more levels.

Developer

Thank you very much!

I do plan to expand just a slight more and slam it onto app store. Would try to implement more wild player and enemy behaviors.

Submitted

Simple yet fun game! That is good take on the theme.

Great Job!

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm glad that you have fun playing my game

Submitted

I love the animation my character does when I grab a missile. Neat little game with a simple but fun game loop. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for your compliment! I'm glad yo had fun playing my game

The squishing animation does bring life to characters very economically, I learned that from blackthornprod's YT unity tutorials.

Submitted

Unique take on the theme! Haven't seen something like this yet. And looks great too. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you had fun playing my game

Great game. Loved you're unique implementation of the controls. The story and artwork add a nice heartwarming feel to the game.

Developer
