This game goes far and beyond what I expected. This is a great 3D submission for the fact alone that it is so well polished. The bouncy animation of your character, the introductory cutscene, the explosions when an enemy is killed, the hidden tech of flying sideways with left shift, all really cool tech. The simplistic art style is something to love as well, with the colour-per-object mentality most of the time. That is one of my two gripes with this game, that the levels that follow the tutorial seem to break from that one-colour aesthetic. My second gripe comes with that of the enemies, as on certain levels, they spawn a bit too far off the edge, meaning you can't shoot them.

This is a really good submission, really liked the fact that the game was 3D. The gameplay was solid, the controls worked well and the game overall was polished. Really liked the intro sequence and you could tell that a lot of effort went into making this game. There was only one thing that threw me off which was the fact that I was pressing the up arrow to go down and vice versa due to this being the case with most flying games, however, it definitely wasn't something that I couldn't get used to.

This was a very good game, it was 3d, the music was good and even the animation of the little bean guy was enjoyable when talking to you in tutorial and when getting hit. A lot of work was defiantly put into this submission. The only thing I would point out was the shooting where I would think I hit the enemy but haven't but overall great game.

This is an amazing submission, the artwork, UI, sounds/music, controls and feel all come together to make this feel like a professionally made game. The intro/tutorial was a brilliant addition, as well as the variation in enemies giving the game a lot more depth.

I love the little jelly bean guy, it's such a simple design but holds a lot of weight.

Feedback was amazing, having the little bean telling you to watch out as well as having ship wobble.

If I was to pick on something though I'd say level 2 and 3 had enemies that seemed 'out of range' either to the left or the right, this feels like it was intended and isn't bad, but I think sometimes they can be a bit too hard to hit, with having the small window of moving back towards the center then outwards again to get extra distance.

They've only gone and bloody done it :) Amazing game - the visuals are so great! I love the little character and how he talks to you when you're hit. The main menu looks really professional and the intro part where the character jumps into the ship and leaves the area looks super slick. Such a good game well done! :)))))

This is such a strong submission and a really fun game to play. The menu and animations are really good and make the game look so professional. The gameplay is fun and really polished, and I like how the game has a character that speaks as it adds a story to the game. Great job!

I really enjoyed playing this game!! I liked that it was 3D and the music/sound effects were awesome! Controls were nice and easy to use and level design were well thought out it seems! I also loved the character animation and the tutorial! Overall really good game!

A solid submission, I can tell a lot of hard work was put into this, I liked the overall concept and animations at the start with tutorial as this really stood out to me, I loved the overall sounds that were included as this worked well for the laser and made it seem more realistic, I loved how you even had a tutorial then 3 different levels so that it was like  a playthrough story and getting to experience different areas instead of just the one, I liked how you included a full screen option as well, but going back to the tutorial I loved how this is where you included the instructions, very well done to all involved!

Loving this game, the overall gameplay is fun and enjoyable and had lots of fun playing it. The inclusion of a little bit of dialogue with capsule boy? Makes the overall game standout from the rest, alongside the animation and the style of the main menu also. The game featuring multiple levels as well as a tutorial level is good, helping to orientate the player and make it more enjoyable. One critique i have with the game is the sight, often it seems the bullets don't follow the sight, especially when the square is on an enemy (might just be me being bad at it). Anyway good game, really enjoyed it.
