Awesome game! One of my favorites I've played from the jam no question. I use GameMaker and haven't ventured very far into the PICO8 waters, but seeing such fun compact and pretty games like this one really makes me want to. Love the simple and super catchy design and gameplay loop. The ship controls so smooth and fluidly. It's great fun just to fly around. Screenshake and great audio add the icing on top. Would love to make stuff that feels this cool someday.

The game is very nice and fun to play. The art looks simple yet good, the controls are tight, and the gameplay was a nice throwback to arcade machines :)

I can see how staying away is tied to solidarity, but overall the fit to the jam theme could be a bit better. Still, very nice work!

Great game, spent quite a while playing this. Only negative is its fit with the theme.

Creative idea to flip the theme to be against the player, very fun little game!

Thanks for playing, I am glad you enjoyed!

This was good fun! Screenshake, pixel residue and music make it look and sounds really nice.
I guess the theme wasn't really there though

Developer

Glad you had fun!

I definitely struggled with the theme. After struggling to think of an idea, I decided to think of what Solidarity meant to me in these times, and it definitely meant staying away from people. So I ran with that idea. Totally a loose fit though haha!

Great experience, very responsive and smooth. My only regret is that it's rather out of the theme of solidarity  :(

(I guess you could have said that the bad guys chase you solidaricly, but not really)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I completely agree it was a pretty loose fit to the theme. I was totally struggling to think of ideas, but I am still happy with how it turned out regardless!

Simple, effective. Love pico8. Great entry. I want more! More guns, enemies, etc.

Wow, really well polished! Screen-shake, good feedback, particles, sfx is very fitting. Game's got everything. :D Even gives you plenty of time to react at gate position switches. Love it!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I am glad you enjoyed!

I really tried to devote some time to polish, so I am glad it came through!
