Not a friendly control but good game. Add screenshots to post.

Liked the elite-style sun scooping for fuel, very cool mechanic. It seemed easier to lead the enemies into the sun (at least I think that's why they were dying) than try and kill them with my lasers. Enemy design was pretty neat!

Interesting concept, I like it.

I like the style, music is majestic!!! Doesn't really suit the game but its nice

Nice interpretation for the theme! The webGL version is bugged on my pc, the minimap is covering the whole screen.

Hey! Little bit confusing controls but, man, I like your music and idea :thumbsup:

Most of the UI went off screen, when I went into fullscreen.
Keyboard controls weren't great, and shooting didn't work on controller for me :(
I know it's a jam and time can be tight, but if you have a game that uses controller you should consider having a controller button to start the game so I don't have to grab the mouse to restart.
I'm really sorry but I just couldn't kill an enemy! I tried lots of times but everytime I went to shoot I'd either be wildly inaccurate or it just wouldn't shoot.
Not sure I full understood the mechanics either.

I really like your interpretation of the theme, if the game had been a little smoother I'm sure it would have been great fun, well done. Also music added a lot to it

Icarus, Sun powered game, clever title. I think the charging mechanic maybe be clearer if the slider icons changed when charging vs when they going down maybe. I figured it out by accident really.

Didn't have any bugs even though I played the webGL version. Great concept, good job!

Thanks for controller integration but there was no way to fire with a controller? Right trigger doesn't seem to work although I am emulating a 360 controller with a PS3 controller that could be my fault. I like the idea of orbiting the planet at the right angle except that the sweet-spot is extremely small. Also the controls are weird. Nicely done though.

Great game! Your game is the most impressive out of all of the games that I have seen so far. I wish that the keyboard controls were easier to use, though.

Played it with a controller and actually switched to PC controls on my second run
I liked the graphics, good job there, the music and all, the objectives arn't really clear but we figure out what to do so we're not stuck, good entry :)
