I got tricked to play a visual novel, unacceptable! /jk The concept and the main gameplay loop is fun and okay, I just feel you could maybe increase the ship speed by a tiny margin, so your game is easier on the jam people who would just like to vibe. Dodging whirls was not that satisfying to me due to not being able to choose which side I want, due to speed. Visual representation is on point, well done.
ps: skip dialog is missing at the “you died” ending text part. After many retries I’d love to restart faster and skip that part as well.
