Did you work in a team?
No, it was just me. This was a good way to practice and get something released.

Was the resolution a challenge?
The resolution was an issue. It's difficult to convey all the information you need to convey to the player sometimes. I mostly got around this by using simplistic, high contrast colors and shapes. Text was also an issue, one that I never fully solved.

What did you learn?
I learned that I need to allocate time wisely with a project like this. Next jam I'll probably set up an entire schedule for myself ahead of time.

Hey man! I really like airship-shooting games like yours. And this one is so enjoyable.

Congratulation for you job! :D

Although minimal, this was really fun and was rather refreshing from all the clutter-filled entries in this jam. It also kind of reminds me of Ghost Guidance, which brought back some good memories.

This was fantastic!  I really enjoyed it :D it felt like I had a bunch of room to move around. It does get a little hard at the end, but I don't mind that much.

This reminds me of something from the Atari era. Simple graphics, yet very readable. I would have liked to hear a little more sound, maybe a jingle or two to break up the silence, but I think the silence is also kind of fitting. Great work.
