It's a game boy-style shooting adventure in outer space!

Even if the game is not complete, the gameplay feels really good. I like to see unfinished projects, it’s what a jam is all about!

Good old times playing yoshi’s safari came into my mind while playing this.

its been a long time i havent played a shooter style like that, apreciate it.

Glad you liked it in its messy glory! But look forward to future updates, since there's a lot more content and systems to come!

A shooter of this style with keyboard is always a challenge. This is cool. Level little difficult since the beginning.

Graphics and music are good.

I got some crashes freezing the game.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I've fixed all of the crashing bugs (hopefully,) toned down the difficulty, added some more features and will be releasing a new version by end of the weekend :)

Neat! I would have liked to use WASD instead of the arrow keys but pretty small thing. I liked the intro cut-scene, managed to make it look cool but still very gameboy-esque.

Nice game but a bit hard and looks like there's no way to restart? (other than refreshing your browser). You need a quick restart button in a game like that! :)

Developer

I totally agree! We'll definitely put it in as we continue to develop this game. As for difficulty, we're still balancing that haha. Thanks for the comment!

simple game, well executed. difficulty is a bit overtuned. couldn't survive very long.

The intro was sick! It reminded me of Wolf Child for the Amiga.

Awesome graphics, and for such limited tools and time, you got a lot of gameplay in.
Cool stuff!

Interesting and different idea for a gameboy-style game. I love, that you included a cutscene at the beginning. Reminds me of Link's Awakening. 

It's really hard though. My highscore is 134. I couldn't get past that.

I've been beaten!

I'm glad you liked it! It was an uphill battle with the lack of tooling for the engine, but look forward for a mirror that we'll upload soon with a more finished and polished version (hopefully less difficult too! :D)

Cool Game! The Idea is very unique!

Developer

Thank you very much! The full concept is far from where we want it to be, but it'll get there!

My top score is 121, if anyone wants to challenge me on it. Do your best, I dare you try!

Developer

Haha, the Tardigrades are worth a lot though, so rack up more points on those! Also using a health pack is way more unforgiving than it should be...
