Heh, fun game. I suggest next time do not punish player so hard (i.e. instant gameover) but give him some HP or sort of. Let game be more player-friendly =)

And i don't understand, why do i need to collect stars?

Developer

Yeah thats a great suggestion!Kinda like a lives system... ill add it to the game. The stars give you 5 extra points. :D

I like the art and played the game for some time. Also I liked the visual consistency of the color palette and overall visual style.

Thank you so much!

Cute game! I like the art and the simple yet fun gameplay

However, I feel like this didn't really represent the "spatial" theme that well and it didn't really introduce any creative or innovative ideas

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback, I am new to coding so it is great to hear feedback. By spatial I was quite stuck and ended up going with the idea of "space" not literal space like "outer-space" but spatial like from spatial-reasoning, where you have to find a safe space in the infested sea. Although I completely understand that it is not that much integrated into the theme.


If you are one of the hosts, do I get kicked from the jam due to not that much of a theme integrity?

Submitted

Ahh i see, that's a bit of a stretch to fit the theme but its fine. im not a host but you wont be disqualified dont worry


this is pretty good for someone new to programming, hope to see you in more of these jams!

Developer
