The game looks nice, I like the seamless transition from the title screen to the actual game. The sea and islands setting is also very nice. The clouds dissolving with shots and hiding hearts is a great mechanic, I just feel they should move at a different speed from the enemies.
I don't know if it's a bug or on purpose, but the ship doesn't move diagonally, or very infrequently. I also felt the enemies were too spongy. I wouldn't mind having to take much more per wave if I could mow them down more easily !
Thanks for the review ! It really nice to read people enjoying the charge system. I tried to add a little bit of strategy with it. And thanks for the kind on the intro screen, that took me some time to mess around ;)
I loved it ! Especially : - The UI and intro screen - The starfield, great depth varied and colorful yet it doesn't get in the way of the action - The bombing system, you get one bomb but it gets more powerful with each pickup. Really interesting in terms of strategy ! - The difficulty and speed of the game. Just nice for my taste. - The little *pewpew* and "floaters" when you kill an enemy. Nice touch !
I was bit confused with having the enemies sprites sideways. I think they would have worked upstraight even with horizontal scrolling. Also sometimes the *pewpew* and *kaboom* were overloading the screen and confusing.
An overall great game, with a lot of personnality !
Really innovative take on the genre ! I was surprised by the "recoil" you get from shooting but I think I like it, it makes the game more strategic ! I love the idea of zones you can explore too.
Great game, I loved : - The visuals, cohesive color palette and HUD - The starfield changing colors, nice touch - The bomb being an actual missile that accelerates and collides with enemies. - The power system
I thought the base enemy were too spongy and some waves a bit too big, slowing the game down.
