Not bad. It could be a bit more interesting. I like the wrap-around and the scrolling star field. The ship also looks nice.

Pretty fun,the paralax effect is nice indeed. Its very easy to win by aiming your ship left and slightly upward and just keeping forward pressed for a minute or something though.

A little goal, except than shooting bad guys, would be welcome :) The parallax works pretty well. The warp of the map borders is invisible, but the ennemies disappear when you go past it.

I don't know why exactly, but I was super disappointed that the enemies blew up in a nice explosion, but I didn't. Good work on finishing the LD!

The bgm is still looping over my head now, very catchy one.

Fun for a short time. The star field looks weird with the still standing stars (looks like dust). Make them a tad darker maybe ;)
The wrap around is annoying to program, but it's weird when you wrap during a fight and the other objects are suddenly gone (and vice versa).

It's not really possible to outmaneuver enemies. If the ship didn't stop without thrust it'd be possible to strafe them, and then it'd be much more fun.

I found it interesting however you can win by just holding down the button and circling until you find everything. The enemies seem a little eager and you can get swamped very easily. The audio is pretty bad. It was really boring to listen to after a couple of repetitions. The graphics are also kinda weird, I didn't expect the stars to travel with you as you moved.

Not bad but needs more of a hook.
