really fun gameplay, amazing sound design and i loved laika's barking every round it really made me smile.

the music reminds me a lot of shovel knight

I really struggled at some points to touch the ships but anyway it was really fun to play. It's nice to be able to change the weapon at some points, it allows to try different strategies. 
And ofc, playing as Laika is so lovely, such a good girl

Прекрасная работа, товарищ! I like this game, beutifall art, beutifall creative and known music! Cool game!

Developer(+1)

Спасибо! thank you! :D

Very fun! One of the most complete games I've played in this jam, I liked the loop and think it's a fun high score game! Feels like the ship going around in circles is a bit overpowered, maybe the ship should have a health bar to prevent players from circling around and colliding with the enemy ships/astroids?

Developer

Thanks! For sure, we need to balance it out a bit more :) for future a health bar could be a nice touch indeed ! Maybe even have multiple ships...

Great game ! Love the feels. Maybe planes are a little too hard to hit

Developer

thanks! yeah the planes are pesky guys haha

Submitted(+1)

Lovely little game! The art direction is super nice, and it feels good to control the ship (especially smashing into asteroids and other ships is super fun)

Developer

thank you! :)

Submitted(+1)

Oh, how this pulls at the heartstrings,  Laika is the absolutelly goodest gal! The game has great visuals! It's really enjoyable and fun, together with doing circles around the Earth and smashing everything if you're too bad at aiming, like me. 

Developer

thank you !! :D

Submitted(+1)

I love the art and especially the music! I think killing everything bashing the ship against them is too broken of an strategy, but it was easier than shooting them hahaha. Nice job!

Developer

thank you :D

Art direction is immaculate, really reminded me of some of the older games from Hexage or 111% Games. I do wish that we can aim the spaceship with mouse because the A/D control messed up my brain sometimes. Overall a neat game!

Developer

thank you very much :D

Submitted(+1)

haha I love the dog theme! And I had a fun time with the upgrades as well. I couldn't tell if the turret itself had separate health from earth or if killing the aliens with my turret was even a good strat. 

Developer

thank you :D any strat is a good strat ;) 

Submitted(+1)

The art style and particle effects were awesome! It felt really good to blast the enemy ships and asteroids! The audio was also added to the theme of the game!  I also enjoyed upgrading the ship! I had a lot of fun playing your game!

Developer

thank you :D yours was also very fun to play !

Incredible art! I really liked it, if you had some more build variety I think I would genuinely be able to sink a couple hours into this. Was surprisingly difficult too (in a good way), but maybe I'm just bad

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!  maybe well work some more on it after the jam :D

Submitted(+1)

I love that dog!! I really like the idea, especially the one about expanding the camera’s vision

Submitted(+1)

My favorite so far, great game! Love the visuals with the particle effects and love the theme

Developer(+1)

thank you so much :D

Submitted

Really, really nice visuals and sounds, was fun playing. I feel like it was pretty easy to just hold down A and D to swoop around the earth and kill all the planes that way, at least for a good bit. Great work.

Developer(+1)

Agreed, I think we need to add a bit more different enemy types to avoid being able to do that too much :D

Submitted(+1)

Wow i love the visuals and the Sounds, its amazing

Developer

thank you! :D

Rigged game is rigged. Paperplanes are too OP. could sink hours into this, with a bit more work.

much love for it.

p.s.: Fire the guy who made them dodge and weave.

p.p.s.: Why is Laika in a Radar Tower?

Developer

I will have a sturdy talk with dodge and weave guy ;) like was shot up to space to protect us 

Submitted(+1)

my game is pretty similar to this but i think you executed it much better than i did, well done!

Developer(+1)

thanks! i guess great minds think alike, space theme seems a common one around this game jam this time :D

Submitted(+1)

It's like a unique take on Space Invaders, that's awesome! Loved the sound effects, artwork, and the upgrade mechanics :)

Developer(+1)

thank you! :)

Submitted

You're welcome! :D
