fun game. Hope you add some more levels!
Thank you! At the moment, stages 1-10 are randomly generated with increasing difficulty and chance to spawn more difficult enemies. Then it goes to infinite which basically continues to increase the difficulty.
Fun little game! the particles are very satisfiying, missed the music but overall great game!
Thank you! Yeah, I would like to have added music. I did try but it sounded awful so thought it would've been better left out lol
As others have noted, the particles and aesthetic are top notch! The gameplay is also really fun and the shop adds a nice extra bit of depth. I think the freeze ability could be made a little more useful, I didn't encounter many situations where it could've saved any health. Other than that though, awesome entry!
Thank you! I agree about the freeze ability, however it was all I could come up with for the game with the limitation, while trying to make the rest of the game lol
What a nice, meditative game. Upgrades felt super rewarding, I zoned out and relaxed in bliss the whole time :3
I love the aesthetic so much-- the particle effects were especially pretty.
Thank you so much!
I like the art style. I am always fascinated about pico 8 like people can do so much in that legacy console!
Thank you so much! You should give PICO-8 a try sometime, it's really cool, especially for jams.
i dont have money to buy pico 8 bro but I really would try if I get a chance to
I love the art so much! Game looks so cool and happy.
Gameplay is also really really addicting and fun.
Great job!
Thank you so much!
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! Lowkey got addicted trying to beat my score!
Very well done man! huge round of applause!
WOW! Thank you so much! It means so much to me that you enjoyed it!
Really interesting game with nice graphic and smooth animation. The gameplay was pleasure.
Thank you so much!
I could play just to see those explosions again and again, great entry!
Wow, thank you so much!
Super cool particle systems! Cute art, good sound. Very enjoyable!
Thank you so much!
Really fun, loved the visuals. Solid game
Thank you!
Hi! Nice pico game.
The art is very smooth and satisfying and the animations are also very cool. The game can be kind of cheated by rapidly switching between lanes and rapid firing the gun. The metal enemies are a nice addition. Also the upgrades are cool, would love to have seen gun upgrades of some sort. I got to stage 10.
Thank you so much for the review! Yeah, the switching lanes cheat was an issue I found when playtesting - I added the 2 other types of enemy in order to reduce this issue, but it still definitely exists.
