I love the vibe. The ambient music and parallaxing space background feel retro-arcadey in the best way.
The mechanics weren’t immediately obvious to me, but I figured them out. Unfortunately, it was pretty easy to get into a locked state and unable to proceed. This might not have been so bad with frequent respawn points, but having to redo the level each time started to wear on me.
I’d love to play this game again with some post-jam polish. Good stuff!
