I really like the ship graphics and change of perspective in this type of game. I would like to have seen the full play area used. For me at least when I go full screen things just pop in and out (the game isn't using the full vertical space available).
Basic but good game. Music and sound fit the atmosphere, controls were solid. I like how the controls mimicked the floaty feeling of a spaceship (or was this accidental ;)?).
The game is very unforgiving though. Even having multiple lives (like 3 or 5) would've greatly increased the games longevity, as even one hit killed me which meant after dying within 5 seconds for 10 times I didn't have much patience left for this game.
The game had a coherent look-and-feel and a simple and clear start screen is always a pleasure to see. The powerups weren't very original but properly implemented and synergised well with the rest of the game.
Good game, the first stage is pretty hard, then it became a little bit easier, especially with the homing missiles. Also, the background is nice to look at.
A big problem with your submission was the controls, the ship is unnecessarily floaty and unresponsive, most of the time I was just sliding into enemy fire, and the fact that you can only take one hit doesn't help either. However, once I got over the controls the game was actually pretty good! perhaps having some way to stack the powerups would have been nice though, as after I got the ally ships and weapon upgrade collecting duplicates became meaningless.
The game looks really good, I liked the controls. For me the game was a bit hard though, I was killed pretty fast each time. Maybe increase the contrast a bit between the enemy bullets and the level.
Firstly, thanks lol, it brought my childhood back this game is challenging, but it becomes quite repetitive after sm time, since the same ships start to come with the same shooting behavior (i made it till 3rd wave , 2250 score) still, i find it quite engaging this is basic yet enjoyable :D
Visually really cool, with a neat background, very nice ship models, and cool 3D graphics and lighting. Music and sound also very nice. Has no apparent connection to the theme at all. I played about six times, with 1350 being my best score.
I really like the gameplay and the graphics, but it seems like any other shmup to me. Not a whole lot of genre blending going on here. The in-game music was a bit boring, which is especially weird since the title screen music, which you only hear for a few seconds, was really catchy and interesting.
Very nice visuals, and I really liked how the ship controlled! I would have preferred slightly more of an area to move between though (or at least more of a visual indicator as to where I can go).
It was a challenging game but in a good way, very enjoyable - awesome job!

Good graphics. But the controls were unresponsive and there were no innovative elements. It's extremely generic and doesn't match the jam theme. Looks great but I'll appreciate a more original work
Nice game dude! :D It's really fun and i like the pickup-upgrades as they do tend to help out alot. Bonus points for user friendliness with the web plugin btw!
