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!
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.
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 :)
