Your alien overlord has sent you to retrieve a precious stolen artifact on the planet Xen'Juru. Fight hordes of enemies in randomly generated caves with multiple different game mechanics.
Really cool game, I loved how in later levels, it becomes very bullet-hell-esque, which was pretty cool to play. My only complaint is that the gun is sort of awkward to fire, but once you're used to it, it gets really fun really fast, good job :D
This game has a surprising amount of strategic depth for something so simple! The shield and jetpack are great mechanics to play with and I liked the player's laser gun which sort of rejects the standard. Very nicely done!
This is a great game. It's maybe a little slow in the first levels but it's not a problem anymore when you have dozen of bullets and turrets to avoid in the last level.
As a side note, if you go to the left or the right in the first screen, you fall in the void and skip the first level.
Nice game, I really liked the concept and the controls were fine for me. My biggest concern, and really not that big, was just the music, there was a segment in there that was just "dum dee dum dee dum dee dum dee" and it sounded like it was broken or something, before it would pick up again, just kinda jarring when i would be aware of that.
The weird floaty low-gravity gameplay is surprisingly addictive. The graphics work well to set the mood, too. I did get stuck after finding a space melon or something. Pretty cool.
Nice job. Major complaint was that the controls felt really floaty. Would've been a little bit hard to deal with if your laser had the same limited range as all the enemies (thankfully it doesn't). Otherwise it was fairly solid!
Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)
I really, really liked this entry. There's something very... turtle ballet about it. Just navigating on the planet surface gives you enough time to get used to the controls, being more humorous than boring... and the floaty jumping gave a really good sense of a low-gravity region this time. Short, sweet, and fun. Thanks for the experience : D
It feels like everything goes in slowmo and it gets awkward after a bit of playing. Everything works just fine though and it's a solid entry. Nice job!
I dont know if its my computer but controls seem like really slow. But except from that I really like the gameplay, really addictive and the behaviour of the enemies is really well coded!
Really ugly title-screen. Just having the name on the first level would have been nicer. Felt a bit like Thomas was Alone meets Risk of Rain. I feel the large level sizes would work really well with a Worms-style ninja-rope mechanic.
Restarting the whole game when I died stopped me from playing on.

@Flam Should be fixed in the latest bug fix as well.
Good job creating that feeling!

I'll restart and stop being a dick trying to break games...
