Art and music are really nice, but I don't like how you need to go through the entire cut scene every time you press restart.
Thanks! Yeah, that sadly was a last time bug that we couldn't fix :(
The art is killer, but I really love that the bugs cling on to your ship to bring it down. You could bring that a little more front and center. Though, overall this has a visceral feeling of flight that reminds me of Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind in the best way.
Thanks! Our artist did a great job on the art and definitely Nausicaa was an inspiration :)
Wonderful music, a real banger :D
Thanks! Our musician worked really hard on this.
really like the art.
Thanks!
The art and music are beautiful! I also enjoyed the game, and I like the twist of what happens at the end. That's a clever bit of design! I would've liked a little how-to-play for the controls, either in the game or on the page. Great work!
I forgot to mention that I also really liked the sound effects, and that the "Play Again" button seems broken.
Hey, many thanks!
I added some comments about the controls and the play again button (and took a note about that to fix it on the post jam version).
Nice graphic!
Thanks!
