Here's my live reaction to playing your game

I love the clever take on everything is broken. Great job on a fun game!

Congrats on starting and completing a game/game jam as that's the hardest part and I think it was cute and great that your daughter to help you out with the graphics. In my mind I think the ship looks like ice and the enemies look like the are on fire which quickly tells me "Fire bad, me ice will melt" which is a great to convey information without saying anything. Wish you had the time to add some fun sound to compliment the artwork.

Thanks for the comments, the players ship was intended to be an ice cube with wings so you got that spot on, it was great watching you play it and hearing your comments match up with what we’d planned.

Hey, just remembered that you did this in Kotlin! How'd you like Korge?

Developer

I liked it, picked up most things (apart from audio) pretty quickly, I did find the samples on GitHub more useful than the docs on their website and google wasn’t often helpful like it would have been for unity, but overall it was a positive experience.

Now I want to know what happens when you get to 100 haha. I got close but I couldn't beat bro' Ken. Simple and fun! :) as someone else said, would be nice some music, maybe it could get faster/crazier along with the speed of the spaceships

Developer(+1)

don’t worry Cindamon nothing exciting happens, it just says you win instead of game over and the text changes.

Thanks for the feedback.

Definitely a unique take on the theme - I like it! Just about managed to make it to the end. Nice work!

Developer

did you win? I wondered if anyone did, I couldn’t ever quite get there. 

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, just about! It took me a few goes, and I only barely scraped it to 100 with 1 life left!

Funny twist on the theme :) The art is nice and the gameplay is fun although a bit simple. Audio would be an upgrade for this game as well. Overall great submission :D

Developer

Thanks, yeah I really tried to get audio working but sadly ran out of time.

Nice use of the theme, and I always like top down shooters. The increasing speed was a nice touch, although the parallax background got a little disorientating at high speeds, but that might just be a disadvantage of space travel. Good game!

thanks for the kind words.

Bro Ken still cracks me up! I really like how the game keeps going faster, the background really helps contribute to the feeling of speed. It felt like I was going really fast before I did. Also, great work with the art! I zoomed in to look and those fire ships were particularly awesome!

Developer(+1)

Thanks Joe, the background is a bit trippy but yeah it does make it feel fast.

I like how you think outside the box with the theme ;)
(Your Bro Ken gets broken, I guess)
Fun little game. Missing some music and sounds.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I wanted to make a top down shooter and it was the only way I could think of fitting the theme in.

Submitted(+1)

Fun game. Although the background was actually a bit harsh on the eyes when things got moving really fast. Add a touch of music/soundeffects and maybe different types of weapons through out your progress and you got yourself something addicting.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I was working on the sound for the whole of Sunday but could not get it to work. 

Submitted(+1)

I would love parallax effect for the background so much!

Developer(+1)

Great idea, I shall add that in when I update the game.

The alien guys totally killed me :,{
