Gave me a big rubbing-my-belly/patting-my-head feeling. Love that it subverts every intuition I've developed about shmups!

Submitted

This is making me break my habit of running away from red bullets and I love it! Great art too!

Submitted

fun game, but i was pretty confused on health worked at the start, and the music is good, its a good gameplay loop

Submitted

nice game man good job!

Submitted

Nice take on the theme! Was an interesting twist on a classic genre and the game was really polished. Good job on this one!

I like the game idea and its so much fun!!! I like the art style but I think the music could have been batter but its a solid game. good job!

Submitted

Cool concept! Would love to see more feedbacks from the weapon but all around it's a very nice package for a game jam, good job!!

Really cool game! I love the idea and i had a lot of fun playing! 

5/5 Good job !

Submitted

Really liking the art. I do wonder if there is any reason to ever toggle off your gun. Pretty fun.

Submitted

Bit difficult to play, but I can tell you put a lot of effort in the game, good job!

This game might have been a little too complex for me. I saw all the text, but I was thinking I'm not going to remember all this, and I was right. If you had a tutorial level or something with gameplay perhaps that would have made it easier. Anyways, the visuals did not look as clean and nice as it did in the opening, controls, etc. You did add some lore to your game which is good. The music also sounded nice. If I could actually play the game adequately perhaps I could have given a better review of it, but for now it's out of my league.

Great take on the theme! Having to balance running around the space with going back to the terraformer leads to a very nice gameplay loop. I would play an expanded version of this!

Submitted

The game is fun! I've a few games with this concept, but this game is wonderful! The art and music are amazing!

Submitted

It reminds me of Into the Breach where the enemies are useful to the player, so great adaptation and use of the theme of the jam. I think the gameplay loop is hard to wrap your head around at first, which is the same problem my team had, but I think that's indicative of the role reversal working strongly! Good job

Submitted

Good idea, art and realization. Plays smooth. It was bit unclear before i've read tutorial (my fault) :D

Well done!

Submitted

Love the mechanic of having to collect enemy projectiles and constantly bringing them back to replenish health. good job!

Cool game, you shoot robots to gain a score, uhh I think so. Yeah, the tutorial is just an info dump, couldn't take in all the information at once since it is late at 3:48 am

Submitted

First I played the game wrong since I couldn't keep all the information in my tired head but when I reread it later it made everything make more sense. Interesting gameplay loop and nice art! I got 15370 points.

Submitted

44960 so I did not beat the devs but had a lot of fun!
just these big orb enemies are annoying and so fast!

But then I guess you need them for challenge well done!

Submitted

This was really fun and one of the most enjoyable games I've played this jam!  it took a few attempts to figure out what was actually going on, but once you get the hang of it it's really engaging.  I would consider maybe adding an interactive tutorial where it spawns just when enemy and a text prompt tells you to wait to attack it until as late as possible.
