Gameplay idea is fun. And it took a bit too get used to aiming but was fun once I got the hang of it. The art/assets could be more coherent. (simple shapes for the player and enemies, but detailed pixel art background). Music is nice and fits the game well. Well done!
More challenging than I expected. Fun little retro experience!
Fun twist on space shooters :)
A fun little high score chaser, I appreciate the difficulty with the crystals, and such!
My game is a cross between Super Mario Galaxy, and Cuphead if you have any interest!
Love the arcade vibe and the music, amazing game!
This was a great little arcade-style game. I really liked the orbit-based movement. being stuck in a loop but still having to strategize how to hit enemies felt fresh and fun. The thrust mechanic added just the right amount of control without breaking the core concept.
I made it to wave 11! The difficulty ramps up nicely, though I agree with others that some polish like particles or slight visual feedback on hits would push the experience even further. Super solid entry. Well done!
Love it! I made it to wave 14 and I'm pretty proud of that. The thrust thing adds some pizazz and even though the game is simple it's a good level of challenge and fun already.
Post your stats screen and show it off to everyone! Let's see who can get the furthest!
Here is my best so far.
Pretty good! I enjoy the gameplay quite a bit :D
Very good music and sound effects! Just that at the end the game just overwhelm you with enemies.
That was fun. Easy to understand controls and great arcade style sounds. With more time to develop graphics, this would be a fun little arcade game.
Very underrated game! I appreciated the thrust mechanic and had a lot of fun playing! I think this game good do with particles. Overall I really enjoyed it!
