Super fun game! While I was playing, I was thinking how much I liked upgrades and that this game would be more fun with upgrades, then an upgrade popped up! Hahahaha, perfect timing!
Nice retro style and 8bit-ish sounds, reminded me bugatron game from my childhood a bit. Explosions and boom are juicy. Controls were a bit hard when Im upside down, maybe control with mouse would feel better. For music I would say some more sci-fi or space theme would be more engaging
The upgrade and difficulty progression plays great! You can really feel the upgrades making a difference without being too overpowered. The polish is incredible, and gameplay loop is very addictive. Well done!
Man I had a blast playing this one! Amazing work for such short time! Congratulations!
The prettiest itch io game page ever!!
Wow!!
This game blew me away, i've rated about 20 so far and this is far and away my favorite.
I love the aesthetic, the gameplay, and the concept so much (i named my first dog after Laika and she recently passed </3)
I love that you can "melee" the enemies as well as shoot. If you were to continue developing this, i'd say add challenge rounds with many planes or asteroids but only those enemies, or rounds where you can't shoot, or rounds where you can't "melee" so to speak.
Great work!!
A proven retro game concept with modern roguelite mechanics is a guaranteed banger. I love Laika and I love to choose one of three options, what's there not to love? The shotgun really came in clutch!
Simple and fun, i love it when laika barks after finishing every wave it feels very rewarding!
thank you ! :)
Simple concept executed very well! Upgrades, waves, multiple enemy types. Small touches like fires on the planet to show you damage taken and Laika herself. Excellent showcase of game design
Very cool, I always choose the fire rate upgrade so I could become a machine gun! Great job, very polished :D
I really enjoyed the game, simple but nice gameplay and I loved the presentation! Nicely done
Very fun! Theming is unique and the music is so good that it doesn't become repetetive, unlike a lot of jam games.
Loved the Laika reference
Loved it, was super fun.
So much fun. the art style and music are so good, great job!
THE THEMATIC IS SO GOOD!!!! I feel like I'm playing a game that came out from an universe where videogames came out earlier and the soviet union used them for their propaganda LOL. It's incredibly well accomplished!
Sadly, my Laika couldn't end up saving the world... But hey! Atleast capitalism was destroyed, so it's not a big loss after all!
Very well polished and well made. I liked the power-ups. Great job!
Who knew that Laika had been protecting us all along.
I started to play and I couldn't stop! I made 4334 points before the Earth exploded haha. The movements were very smooth, and I like the graphics. I’d love to see more bullet styles in future updates, maybe a triple-shot or even some bigger, more explosive rounds!
Amazing work! The art and sounds are so good and the variety of upgrades, guns and enemies is very fun. Great job!
