Did you work in a team?
I did the entire thing myself, except for the music which my brother insisted on doing. It was quite the thrill making it through my first jam.

Was the resolution a challenge?
The biggest challenge was movement which was tricky without sub-pixels at first. I ended up using timers to move 1 pixel every 10 frames for example.

What did you learn?
The low resolution helped me work on keeping my pixel art simple and concise. Looking forward to doing more lower resolution games (maybe not this small, though).

I like the particle effect of the firework's tail. Overall a pretty solid first jam.

Fun little game with a lovely tune! Reminds me of old shmups without the shooting of course. Good job!

Loved how it consistently became more and more challenging in various ways and how some of these obstacles really make you thread the needle. A well done jam game, very enjoyable.

IT TOOK ME LIKE 45 MINUTES BUT I BEAT THE GAME WOOOOOOOOOO

btw the music was really good, loved the level music in particular. It was fun to listen to it while I tried to beat the levels lol

Wow, good job on actually beating it. You're the first person I know besides me to actually finish it. My brother told me it was way too hard for anyone else. Also, he's the one to thank for that awesome music.

Good job finishing your first jam! Getting a playable game by the end of it is a big plus! :D Nice way to ramp up difficulty by adding different type of enemies on each level.

Congrats on your first submission! Not a bad little game, the planes added just enough challenge to keep me interested. Props to your brother too!
