I love your artwork and the concept was interesting, good job! congrats :)

Loved the art - sprite design is simple but effective, and the parallax scrolling for the background looked amazing.

As others have said, would be great to see more enemy types, but there was plenty of fun to be had in the medium to high difficulty range all the same :) would have loved it if the transition from easy to medium came a little sooner so we got to spend a little more time in that sweet spot. 

I was wondering why the difficulty ramped up so harshly right at the end before I remembered the limitation for this jam - it definitely fits!

nice art, cool gameplay. the spaceship could have been slower, i felt it was too fast, and also i know the "failure was inevitable" but it still felt a bit unfair.

nice art, but would have liked some more variation like new enemy types.

Plays very smooth and is quite enjoyable for a while. However, the gameplay started to become a bit stale. Would have loved to see the difficulty ramp up a bit quicker and new enemy types introduced.

Good entry overall!

I liked everything about the game but I think you could've made that when you get to the hardest one it wouldn't be impossible but other than the controls are great the idea that if I shoot I lose score so I would carefully use my shooting ability, the art! everything was good! I would love if you can check my game as well

Very nice game! Shooting sound and music are kind of mixing up which made me turn off the sound but other than that it was a great experience.

Enjoyment: Ngl this game was really repetitive. Some different enemies or powerups would help change up the monotony a bit, though I get how that type of thing is hard to in a jam. Another thing is that the difficulty curve seems kinda weird. I get that you have to inevitably die but I wish it either stayed in the medium difficulty area for longer or had an endless mode after you die. 

Concept: A soot em up is always fun!

Presentation: Art is pretty good but I was a bit annoyed by the sound cause it was kind of a mess becuase I played with the shoot button pressed the entire time so having that and the music play at the same time kinda hurt my ears.

Use of the Limitation: Your use is pretty solid for what imo a bad limitation for gameplay.
