Very, very cool game. The music and sound fx fits.

It's to stressfull for me, but I like the mood. Well done!

Thanks for playing and your feedback!

I definitely want to add some difficulty levels to help with that stress level  :D  For the jam I just stuck with one difficulty on the harder side, couldn't have people mastering it too quickly!

Nice work! I really like how a small tweak to the missile command formula added a totally different kind of challenge. The music was great.

This game had really nice mechanics that I understood straight away, but took time to get better at.

I was shocked at how simple, yet so complex the mechanics were. With just a simple constraint like managing your shots to avoid overheating, the game play was exponentially more engaging. Very well done!

Thank you so much for playing and commenting! Now I always just think of the incoming missiles as rods from god :P

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely on the harder side... I was inspired by old school arcade games so have to keep those quarters flowing!

This was a really nice experience! It was pretty difficult to figure out the controls in the beginning, but after that it was really fun. My high score is 108 :)

Thanks! It definitely takes some getting used to, I do plan to add "waves" of missiles at some point so maybe I can ease the player into it a little better when I do that. That's a great score! Better than my wife could manage :) !

Really enjoyed this! You should make it clearer that WASD works because that's much more comfortable for right-handed players. Also have you considered adding a bloom effect?

Thanks for playing! That's a good idea to mention WASD, I don't know why I forgot to put that in the control description. I'll at least mention it on the game page for now and mention it in game post jam. I hadn't thought of a bloom effect but that might actually look pretty cool. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome! The UI is a bit inconsistent about where you can use a keyboard and where you have to use a mouse, but really, the gameplay is great! Would love to see this on a cabinet :D

Thanks so much for playing and the feedback!

Making the UI more consistent is definitely on my list of tweaks post judge period! Thanks again for playing!
