I played all the modes. That has to say something. I think it's quite fun to play! The controls could use a little tweaking (that girl moves fast). But a pretty good job all around!

yeah when it came time to tweak and polish the controls... I got tired and lazy and just submitted it. I'm aware of what  needed to polish lol but hey! Thanks for actually playing all the modes! Really appreciate it

Good arcade game. Liking the background and the juice when something takes damage.

Developer

thanks for playing, gotta add some juice in it! I'll check your game out soon

Cool game! One big problem though is that you don't have a shoot cooldown. Standing on the lowest platform and mashing space + W makes it almost impossible to lose.

yeah forgot to add that, lol

Great game. Only thing for me was the character speed was a little fast but I could also be my age showing my slow reaction time lol. Now I need to check out your other games :D

I enjoyed this game its wasn't too long or too Hard but just right for a game jam. I did really like the atmosphere you created in the game,  great use of Music and art to tell a story. 

Developer

thanks for the nice comments! Yes it all fits altogether, I'm tempted to continue this. Cause I got ideas to expand

Good idea in this game.  I wish there were options of difficulty levels, because I really struggled here.  Nice game though, but with some extra polishing, this could be much more!  Nice entry!

Developer

thanks for playing! Yes I'll add onto this, sorry about that difficulty curve

I like the mashup idea, and the game's presentation is really nice. I like the character sprites, and the screenshake is weird, but combined with the sound effects, makes a unique 'feel' to the enemy ships. (Don't worry, not a bad kind of weird.) I also like that there are two modes, and that each mode has different options based on difficulty. However, while you did give a lot of different wrappers to experience the gameplay in, the gameplay itself was a little bit repetitive. I think this game could benefit a lot from having 2-3 more enemy ship types. Overall though, not bad!

Thank you for the honest review! I agree, with all your points, will improve on  my skills 😊

Well done! This game is short, simple, and able to be beaten in a short time. Everything a game jam game should be. I just stood on the lowest platform, jumped up and down, and spammed the fire button. Won hard mode easy. Also, I think I can see the enemies spawning onscreen, so maybe a good idea would be to hide that offscreen. Other than that this was a good game.

Developer (1 edit)

that was the plan! Make it easy for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for playing my game  yeah i forgot to change that when i submitted, and i just left it in, cause i got lazy lol, hey working on a game for 7 days, yeah my brain tuned off
