Took me two games to find out, how to play the game, as at first I thought I should dodge the red beams. But overall nice idea, the art and music is stunning :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad to hear that!

I like the idea behind this - the three zone control system looks like lots of fun possibilities to play around with designwise. The intro is very cool, and of course, the spaceship <3

Developer

Thank you! We still try to improve our gameplay – we shall see how people will react to new version after the game jam. Thanks for playing and your kind words!

The camera work was very good :)
I did not feel that gameplay is particularly slow. I enjoyed trying to control the whole screen space constantly (maybe my RTS skills now improved?)
There are some downtimes in the beam generation though

Developer(+1)

You're right. We had to fix the amount and speed of beams. It should be fine in the new version which we're gonna release after the jam ends. Thank you for playing our game and your feedback!

Nice setup for the game. Gameplay seems to be simple and working, although I was bit confused when my hp was going down for no reason. But as I see comments it's probably just minor bug, that should be solved soon. Nice game, I need to check it when there's going to be an update :)

Developer

Hi, thanks for your kind words. :) We sure will post a more polished and complete version soon. :)

Nice graphic and cool music. But gameplay is little stressful - sometimes beams are on the edge of screen and not really visible, sometimes your satelite ends on the edge of screen and it takes time to find him (and grab him)... grabbing is somehow counterintuitive and not very forgiving. maybe faster satelites response would make it more playable... maybe map movement of satelites to keybord, and you have nice game for 3 or 5 players on one computer :D

Thank you for your feedback and for playing! We already took these advices to heart and we are improving the gameplay, even according to people outside the game jam itself!

As others mentioned, great visuals, nice concept and music, but it felt really slow.

Interesting idea though.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! We're working on it to make gameplay better and we already have version 0.2! :)

Cool game, as already mentioned i feel like it could be a bit faster and i had one projectile on the very edge of the screen, which is very hard to see. I loved the artwork tho, especially of the boss ship, i wish it was in sight for a longer time! great music too and nice idea overall!

btw. not sure if intended but the satellites can collide with each other and with enough effort you can push one satellite with the other into another zone xD

Thank you, we're glad you like the art and sound! We already improved the gameplay and we're still working on it thanks to feedback here and by some other people –  we're going to upload some better version after the jam ends. 

Btw. Well, we know the satellites can collide, but I think nobody tried push them... Interesting, we'll take a look! :D

The visuals and sound are stunning! I was really amazed by them. However, the gameplay seems a bit slow, which is pretty contrasting to the suspenseful music.

Developer (1 edit)

Glad to hear that, our artist and composer worked very hard on it! And I agree, the gameplay needs some improvements, that's why we still work on it  and appreciate every feedback. We already have version 0.2 with faster gameplay and we can't waint to upload better version of our game after the jam ends! Thank you once again!

The overall art is gorgeous and the idea is fresh! But as was already suggested by another commenter, I think it would be more engaging if the gameplay was more fast-paced:)

Developer

The gameplay was already improved and after the jam we're going to upload new and better version – we want to make perfect gameplay, so thank you for your feedback, it means a lot to us!

Wonderfull visual and sounds. But whole game was little slow. Controls of satelits was ok but sometimes it was hard to move with right to right beam. And maybe it's bug. Sometimes I got hit by beam I didn't even see.

Developer

Thanks for the comment, we appreciate the kind words and of course the feedback!  There are indeed things that could be better.
