nice game, love the theme of it and the fact you can destroy stuff with your own ship lol, nicely done tho there could be visible ammo count
The dog is MVP, and I like how it's presented in the game. :)
Quite a simple, yet addictive game. The thing I like the most is that you can defend your planet with your body. It makes the game less frustrating. Kinda reminds me of Dome Keeper with the sword dome. :D
Good job!
thank you! :D
Very satisfying game. As feedback, It was not very clear what the number was on the earth before realizing its the ammo. The music slapped, nice work!
thanks! feedback always welcome :D
The art style is super cool and the gameplay is juicy. Really well done in such a short time!
thank you so much :)
Really fun game. Music works well with it and the graphics and polish on them are great. I like the Laika theming (only reason I know Laika is cause of the one eurovision song though lol). Sometimes the upgrades can generate two of the same time (one a lower level than the other) which gives less options for choices. Also a bit hard to tell what the health of the planet is if its your first run
got almost 13k on my first run (did no healing)
oh wauw thats an impressive score! thanks for playing and the feedback! :)
love the dog :) cool idea
Hello! very much like the game. The art style gives the game a memorable identity. The spinning gameplay is also very enjoyable, just the right amount of sliding. The fact that as a last dich effort you can slam your ship into the enemies to destroy them replaces the watching helplessly while an enemy crashes down with a race intercept it. This makes in the game every moment count. Congrats on submitting!
thank you! :D
This was a super fun game! I kept ignoring the heal earth cards but when I really need them I didn't get any -- my greed was too much lol. Laika's bark at the end of each wave really made the game for me. Very enjoyable!
Everything is very polished, from the upgrade screen to the bark when you click the title on the main menu! I liked how the default enemies moved in wonky patterns which makes them harder to hit. I think some of the upgrades didn't really feel very significant, e.g. bullet speed. Overall though, it was a great entry :)
For sure, we need some balancing on those. thanks for playing :D
Super fun! As you said it's nice to see what people with similar ideas did. Amaizing work! :D
thanks for checking it out :D
really fun.
thanks!
The 2D top-down shooter curse has befall upon us once again (TierZoo the Youtuber) liked this game, so yea, it's good.
haha thank you for checking out my game :)
Great game! This is a strange thing to like maybe, but the explosion animation is on point!
Thank you! :DD
Great game. Everything in the game sells the feeling of you being communist russia during the space race. And the art is gorgeous, selling the vibes of soviet propaganda real well.
The connection to the theme is good, but I think it could have used a bigger twist. Also, some weapons feel ridiculously overpowered, which is fun but also seemed a bit unbalanced.
All in all I had great fun and I think it is a good game jam game!
Thank you !! :)
This is insane, super polished for a game made in 4 days. I can't give you any criticism because there's absolutely nothing I would change about this. Great Job. Although I am kinda concerned about the person who put Laika in this situation
wohoo! thank you :D
Great style and very catchy music, glory to mother earth. I feel like crashing into ships shouldn't be the most effective way of dealing with enemies though, or at least have some sort of cost attached to it.
Of course an earthling would say that. All hail the kepler 22b empire
Agreed! If there was more time, we would've balanced it out a bit more. :)
Loved the art direction, the static for low health is a nice touch! Definitely could get that tune stuck in my head for a bit
thank you! :D
Thank you! Laika will forever be remembered! :)
The song is a jam! Great aesthetics and I love the subtle auto aim/homing. Although, I mailny used the ship itself to destroy most of the enemies.
thanks for playing :D
Good Game for the Goodest Girl!
Simple mechanics but fun gameplay!
thank you!
