Fun, short and cute game! Even if it's a bit on the easy side.

Aside from saying that the main mechanic is quite unique, well I haven't got anything much to say so I guess you can watch me try it out:

(Oh and very chill soundtrack, I love it)

Fun dialogue!  The game play is interesting.

its good, but kinda easy if you know the trick, you just blast enemies through walls and they never get near you, maybe making walls as a barrier for the cannon could make the challenge a little bit harder.

I expected Nue to be a boss by her own, kinda dissapointed when I had to beat ufos instead of her xD.
Text also is bad blaced and cannot be read on many of the boxes.

Really like the music, it's very smooth. And art is incredibly cute. 

Also, I really like the main mechanic. It has a lot of great potential, and I'd like to see it developed. The text was inreadable in the Jam version, but it seems to be fixed in post-Jam version, so the only thing I'd complain about is it being incredibly short.

The visuals and music are good (the latter is great, even), but I feel as if there isn't enough content for me to rate the concept.

Nue just inserting herself into the final boss role was hilarious.

Really cool gameplay engine with a great soundtrack to boot; I just wish it were either a bit longer or harder (here's to hoping for post-jam updates!).

short but you can learn how it works pretty well in that time, i imagine it would have some cool strategy bits if it was more difficult
oh yeah and the game looks slick as hell with the title and ending art

gordon freeman doesnt know anything, it shoulda been okuu in the resonance cascade

I enjoy the mechanics of this a lot, but I gotta say my absolute favorite part is the music, that shit slaps hard

Hell yeah hell yeah thank you! I already follow you on YT so I already had those links but thanks for the playlist!

Everything about this is so well done, that I don't really have much to say other than the best kind of complaint, which is that there's not enough of it :(
Would definitely be excited to see this become a larger game.

I really don't play video games much - but I was able to successfully beat both levels. The game has  good music that complements the game. The game runs pretty smooth and the controls are good (I like how the creators use both WASD, and the arrow keys. I wish there was a way to control when the a laser thing fires but I'm hearing that's an intentional feature of the game to make it more challenging. The pixel-style of the game is pretty cool - and reminds of other classic games. The artwork is pretty cool too. Overall its a good game.

Aaaaa the pixel art is adorable, soundtrack is super chill (nue's theme on jazz trumpet is the new best thing) and the gameplay felt original and refreshing! (Somewhat reminded me of Crypt of the Necrodancer, but with less timing involved)

Only constructive feedback/criticism I can think of would be stuff your team likely already thought of, but had to cut due to scope and time constraints (character portraits during the dialogue, the Nue boss battle... and just more levels!)

Great job! :D

I have a soft spot for turn based puzzles games (cough helltaker), so this was a nice surprise! There's something about doing puzzles to soft jazz that's very soothing, and the art is nice too! The level design helped sell the main mechanic well, and it honestly made me wish this game was a little longer lol

This one is really good, kinda surprised it hasn't been played that much, it has potential, the pixel art and the music is really good and I think the concept, in general, is good.

The big problem I can find is the duration is literally like 5-10 mins long, very obvious a lot of stuff needed to be cut at the last moment, I'm pretty sure this one could become one of the best ones with a little more of extra time.
