Functionally, difficulty spikes feel a bit busted. Beyond that, overall good game.

Honestly, of the random games this jam is forcing me to play, this has been the best thusfar. Great game!

Honestly, fun puzzle game. Audio is a bit repetitive in an aggravating way and the art is, well, just puzzle game art, but solid game. Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, so kudos to you though!

Unfortunately, I can't rate this because I don't do downloads for game submissions for security reasons, but wishing you well in your chase for the top.

Okay, in terms of creativity, I'mma give it a solid 4. Neat concept.
However, the artstyle? I'm a critic here, but I'll give credit for the time spent and the work put it.
Not much narrative.
Audio is a bit annoying, if anything. I'd almost rather play to silence.
Had a bit of fun, but wouldn't play it again.

I guess I could call it a time-killer, though I wouldn't call it creative or overall enticing to play again.
There's no clear instructions in the game. Time runs out or something and you reset with more enemies to fight. I won't call it bad, but I won't call it good.

Overall, an arena shooter with much to yearn for, but still a step up from the could-be results of some games you see out there.
Art wasn't great, nor was it terrible.
Audio was absolutely retro, which is alright.

Gameplay was smooth.

Overall, 2 out of  5 for me, if I am honest, but honestly, you could do something with it.

Honest opinion: Great starter, but lacks any actual creative flair, using an overdone concept of ship escape in a short, simple, straight-shot escape sim. There's no challenge, no point, and more significantly, no replayability or enjoyability. "Hold space as soon as it loads to escape" is neither exciting or truly creative, nor is it truly game-worthy. I wish I could be kinder with this review, but the best part of this was the art and that wasn't much to look at either.

Look, I see all of the threads asking for help. I see that this has been an issue for months. I see that the moderators are saying go to support. But let's get down to the real issue:

This is an issue. Genuine users are being held on commenting. Devs are not getting feedback. Moderator approval for the likely flood of comments is going to take who knows how long to address.

This is an extreme solution to bot accounts.

I've commented nothing on the site that has ever gotten me banned. I've only ever commented on games I have played. I've given feedback and ideas.

If this is the route itch needs to go to protect users and prevent botting, at the least, explain it and create a sticky or a site notice to let users know what is happening and how they can fix it.

My goal isn't to be a pain to anyone, but I think a bit of communication regarding this ongoing issue would help a lot. Guidance on how to address it being readily available (instead of digging through community comments) would also prevent the comments and posts.

Whether or not the issue has already been stated, you're still going to get people who TL;DR things and make a post. It's just how people are. So, at least some of that can be stemmed with a sticky or global notice.

Otherwise? I have to send out a support ticket because I got hit by this new filter as well. I am not currently expecting much, given the other posts on the forum. It is clearly a widespread issue going unresolved for even months at a time.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Cheers

What's with the black faces? I pretty much can't progress safely with them. I sell them and it nukes my game.

Where's the full screen option? Why no download?

Game seems broken. Blackweb login not working

Saving is in working state so far. Definitely looking forward to expansions on this! Are you open to ideas?

Game has potential, but between crashing and inability to save, it's held back. Definitely would recommend implementing a save function.

Upgrades don't seem to persist after matches. They also stay locked when you have enough points sometimes.

This game is so unfriendly in the beginning that it makes it not worth the play. The speed and amount of enemies, paired to limited movement? Makes it so infuriating, I'd rather smash my laptop than keep playing the game.

The initial difficulty NEEDS an adjustment. It's just borderline unplayable and hostile.

This is exactly my thinking as well.

Speed up the end game screen. It's needlessly and annoyingly long for no reason.

And now they are spawning IN AND NEXT TO ME WITH SPIKES.

Adding to this, spikes being able to be a single platform? Makes the game annoying to play. It's practically cheating, since they're hard to hit when you are spinning out of control because they destroy an engine.

Oh yeah. And your background on this being animated is killer on low-end laptops. And the game randomly freezes.

Uncontrollable to the point it is completely unfun. The inability to regain control from a spin is egregious. Even with engines, it's still bad. This game HAS potential.

Did you take away the ability to fling trash with the mouse?

Don't play on PC if you want to have an actually controllable game.

Recently, the AI has broken entirely. No focus on anything. Keeps repeating text. Keeps hallucinating.

How do you get upgrades?

I ask because I'm considering whether to try to use one.

In theory, wouldn't using a paid key to have more context provide better responses?

Have you dropped this game, or will there be a post-jam version?

100 everyone 14 days

Well, with that, why do characters lose "permanent" modifiers seemingly at random?

Can you explain what these "modifier" things are? Are there a limited number of them? Are they generated by the AI?

Menu buttons on the browser version have issues:

- Restart and quit blackscreen the game

This game, the storyline, everything about it was enjoyable. It's rare that incremental games are done like this, but this is what it should be. Thanks for the amazing game!

Game is glitchy on edge. Jumpy mouse controls at random points, lack of real ability to complete due to that.

I managed to get it working, but it took a lot of very unusual and un-immersive workarounds.

They don't open the files at all. They say they do, but don't.

Right.

First, the way the words display causes major overlap, making some words difficult to make out.

Second, the "normal" difficulty paired to the first issue makes it impractical to attempt it.

Personally, I think this game could benefit from a simple readability fix. Even a border around the boxes to make them more distinct.

If someone chose to adapt your idea, would you be okay with it?
