Great game. Even if it's kind of classic, that's perfectly done !

It was fun, but it got repetitive. After a short while I had all the upgrades maxed out and more gold than I could spend, and the bosses are really easy to break once you have the vertical shots, by standing in one of the right-side corners of the screen where they can't hit you.

The regular segments were a bit more challenging, but I wish there were some more mechanics to it. The sounds and art were pretty good!

Good game. Looks too simple at first, but then the upgrade curve (slightly OP) made it more fun. I would just suggest icons instead of colors for the bonus (even if most other games do like you).

Cool game, more to it than it appeared at first. Took me a minute to figure out how to shoot (since I didn't read the instructions, naturally) - might want to go with Space/Z/X instead, Shift/Q don't seem to be used as buttons often.

Quite a lot of types of enemies, weapon upgrades, graphics and music.
A pretty solid game.
I do agree with the comment for using icons for upgrades. They looked like coins. But the text revealed what the upgrades did.

Very nice solid game. Missed the beaming up goats to get health text on my first run. The game seems to get quite hectic fairly fast after the second level.
Couldn't buy a lot of the upgrades, they maxed out or something really early.

Okay, the cow at the end of the third level was fabulous. I'm sad it killed me but happy it can now move on to the rest of its life, jetpackin' around light and fancy free.

The healing and upgrading added a surprising amount of depth to this. I do wish upgrades didn't max out so early, but the difficulty seemed to be pretty well balanced. I enjoyed all three levels I managed to get to. That's a lot of (fun!) gameplay for 48 hours!

Very solid game. I'm surprised at that you even made the boss fights.

Classic gameplay. :) It's a little slow and repetitive at first. The different power ups were a nice addition. My favourite part was beaming up the cows and goats! I feel like that adds a nice touch to the game.

Great game, but I think there is a lack of cows / goats in the second level. :)

Good little game, this is. Lots of enemies and upgrades. :3

Liked the game, and the art classic art style :) Only I would like to see is maybe a health bar for boss fights. Some of the fights felt like they would never end

Highest mood score I have given thanks to the great eerie alien music track.

I really like the difficulty curve of this game. You get a lot of powerups but the difficulty keeps up with you to keep it challenging. Really fun. The theme interpretation was solid, but if anything could be better, I would say a more creative/in-depth exploration of the theme. The goat mechanic was great.
