The idea of adding flying enemies crossed my mind, but I didn't have time to implement it.
Combat is something I added at the last minute, as a last resort when running out of defences. I think it's a very good idea to have to recharge the lantern, I hadn't thought about it. And, of course, I have to nerf the knockback and the exaggerated damage it has.
Good job, it feels good and, if you use gravity to your advantage, it's pretty easy to get the crystal. I would probably add some elements to avoid, where gravity pulls you, to add some difficulty.
Very good work, especially for your first contribution.
I would have added the possibility to use the arrow keys instead of the A/D, because it's pretty difficult to dodge the asteroids and shoot them at the same time, and use both hands that close together is not comfortable.
I've played a previous version you published a couple of days before the end date.
I like the art and the sound but, above all, the gameplay. It feels good, I've been playing for a while.
I had the speed and turbo upgrades, and I only had 12 coins left to go, and an ambulance suddenly changed direction and hit me... people don't know how to use their indicators....
Cool game! It's a shame that sometimes the random values make you lose instantly. It should be good to make the initial pH confortable to the bacteria, or maybe make them "inmortal" for a couple of seconds to let you time to think about what you could do to make them confortable.
The elements show how much input and output they have (each container has a little ‘window’ where you can see the liquid level), but I understand that it is very subtle. I will add a popup with this and more informationwhen hovering (or clicking) over the element.
Regarding the enemies/fuel issue, it is briefly explained in the tutorial. I'll explain this in a more visual way, at a tutorial level, where you can see the mechanics clearly.
I can't finish the first song, perhaps allowing only 2 failures is too little leeway, although it makes sense given the history. I mean, for people with little rhythm like me... haha
I agree with SQLPY about the selection of the controls. It would have been better to limit the notes and to use the keyboard instead of the mouse.
