How does your game fit the theme?
The player has no control over the space ship which they inhabit, nor can they control the rockets which they eventually fire. The situation itself grows increasingly out of control as a broken ship must struggle to make it to safety, to regain control.

The only thing I liked was all of it. Seriously, it had good art, good music, fun game play, upgrades, various enemy types, a fun little story, and a great take on the theme. The game is very well polished and was super fun to play. Great job!

Wow, I really liked this game! The music is great, the dialogue is funny, and the core gameplay is fun. And I really, really like the music! It's like the opposite of an on-rails shooter (an on-rails shielder?). My only complaint is that I'm not sure it fits the theme of the jam very well. I understand that the out of control element is that the direction of the rockets cannot be controlled, but I find that to be more frustrating than innovative. It made some levels needlessly difficult because my rockets simply wouldn't go where I wanted them to, but upon retrying the same level, it was much easier because I lucked out and my rockets went in the direction that I wanted (and sometimes just randomly hit something useful). Overall, the game is excellent, I'm just not sure you hit the mark on the theme.

This was the best game I've played so far. The Dialogs are really great integrated with the theme of the game and just enjoyable. The theme was also integrated with a good story and overall the whole game feels complete in itself. The Shield movement was not always on point for me, sometimes it went fast, sometimes it went slower which was a bad annoying but nonetheless a great experience.

At first I was a bit skeptical about it, but now after a while it's actually pretty fun! Pretty hard, although that might just be me...
