Pretty fun to play!
The game looks and sounds great, it can be a bit difficult but the momentum builds up nicely as you unlock more points.
I wish there was more to do with my mouse other than move around and buy new things, maybe giving the player some abilities to use in-between buying things could be nice!
My first attempt, winning with negative -77928 score.
Overall it's a polished, well-made game and fitting the theme, a very well-executed one. I actually play a few games that have similar concepts, but this is the best.
However, I do think that when you get hit, you need a little more feedback from the player showing that it's hurting you. I actually purposefully continue to get hit because I saw when I get hit I got "shiny" stuff flowing out it must mean a good thing until I realized that it was my money flow out from me XDD
Very well designed! Everything works together, every piece fits, might be my favorite so far :D
Fantastic presentation and feel. I'm a little bit of a fool so at first I thought you had to hit the ship with the cursor to make money lmao. Really fun and polished. Completely forgot it was made in 48 hours because it felt really full. I have a feeling that this is gonna end up with a pretty high rating.
Good job and good luck on the jam results :)
This game was feedback heaven, every sound and every hit was enjoyable. It took a little bit to understand what i had to do but once i got it i just played until the little arrow was dead. 8000 score isnt much but at least i played a lot of time hahaha good job!!
You could already tell how polished this game is from the interactive start screen - the sound effects and overall player feedback work well, the game loop is addictive and the upgrades are also fun and rewarding. Only point of critique is that it was a bit hard to get into, maybe a short introduction or tutorial could have helped. Otherwise great job!
Really fun game and really addictive. Also great use of sound effects.
A very satisfying game with good looking art very good sounds a good interpretation of the idea and difficult to win but nothing frustrating. Its a 5/5 I could say. Its easy to understand and is repleyable. Perfect game!
enjoyable game, its very satisfying to play
Absolutely yhe best game I've played with the "you are not the player but the environment" so far! The gameplay loop works great and the constant downticking of your score along with being able to get hit by the ships bullets makes for really solid gameplay with some challenges!
Great game, it took me a while before I realized that the money coming from my cursor is actually the money I lost. I was trying to get hit by the bullets for some reason. Though I realized later I was playing incorrectly.
This is amazing! Incredibly satisfying to play. It took me a while to figure out that the money coming from my cursor was the money i was losing though lol
This could definitely be really successful as a mobile game if just a few more mechanics and maybe a tutorial were added. Great job overall!
Wow. Just, wow. The gameplay loop is extremely satisfying, and the aesthetics are impeccable! This is one of those games I could see my self spending hours just playing as I zone out. Amazing job!
I really enjoyed this one, definitely worth a download! The money mechanic adds a really nice extra layer to the game. The explosion animation is also simple but effective. Really good job!
This game is so fun! at first i was a bit confused about what to do, but i got the controls after a bit of trial and error (a short tutorial wouldve been great), its fun to move around and avoid the bullets and the ship. I love the little details such as the camera shake when an asteroid explodes. loved this game!
Really fun gameplay loop! Building up enough coin for each new asteriod was quite fun! The asteriod designs were also really good. I think the menu buttons and font could have looked a little more retro to fit in with the rest of the art, but nice work overall !!
Very cool concept and addicting gameplay! Still find it hard to get the ship to hit the asteroids tho :))
Dude, you consistently make some of the most addictive games. Really enjoyed this one!
Appreciate you for playing my games bro, I'll get back to work on the Mines and Missiles update after this voting is done
Can I get a mobile version? I'm addicted now :D
Well done!
A mobile version will definitely get made in the future, but I'm a bit burnt out after the long weekend working on it, and I still have my main game to focus on. But yes definitely a mobile version! And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
