You nailed the look and feel of StarFox, especially the suspenseful boss entry. Aiming was challenging, a crosshair would probably help a lot!

Thanks!

Crosshairs can be really confusing in 3rd-person - especially when the ship is moving around the screen. You are absolutely right though - I need to do something to make aiming easier.

Huh, I could have sworn StarFox had a cross hair but I guess not :D

StarFox64 projected one into 3d space though

Pretty fun game! Pleasantly surprised to recognize the composer in the credits ahah
Also when that gigantic shadow creeps up on you... That was a cool moment :)

Thanks! :D

I can't really claim credit for the idea of the shadow - it is pretty much how the first SNES StarWing/StarFox boss comes in. I'm glad it was effective though - it's one of the parts I really wanted to get right.

Thanks! :D

I was working on it throughout the ten days, not just the weekends. Plus, I think I got pretty lucky - none of my horrible code hacks seemed to get in each other's way!

Super nice! I really like the addition of a boss fight, it really completes the experience!

I think it was a little hard to read where you were aiming, and the boss would have been even nicer with some feedback when you hit it. But regardless a very nice entry!

Thanks for the feedback - I'm glad you liked it!

You're right, the boss is massively under-polished and the camera field-of-view needs to be smaller so the bullets don't get small so quickly. There's so little tweak time when you're on the clock!

I love it!! the boss presentation was awesome!!
The camera feel reaaaly good.
I think that i spot a bug.. if you dash forward when the boss fight is starting the fight never begins.

Thanks for playing - I'm really glad you liked it.

And thanks for the bugrep! The whole boss battle was a massive race against time - I'm just glad it's holding together as well as it is! :D

tbh, I learned a lot while making it. If I was to make it again, I would approach it really differently.
