Thanks for checkout out our game!
Yeah for 3/4 of us this was the first time ever making a game so the scope was a bit ambitious in hindsight. For myself the goal was to focus mainly on art so I'm really glad you liked it :D
Thank you for playing and providing feedback. Yeah I considered doing a vocal "component has broken" but settled on just an explosion instead. Even though I also noticed I would miss it while fixated on the shmup part.
Technical difficulties has unfortunately been a plague all throughout the jam. Hopefully after the jam I can release a hotfix patch.
