The first game, let alone jam game, by Frogmatic games. You move with W,A,S,D. You select options with enter and you fire with the right mouse button. Coins get you a thing. For every tick you get a coin, but if your ticks reach 8 you die and loose all of your coins. Destroy asteroids to make the ticker go down. Get to the portal. There might be a boss, ya never know.
For a first ludum dare game, this is really good. A few things to improve would be the feedback you give to the player about whats going on, i found it hard at times to understand what effect I was having. An instructions menu might also help to explain this. But otherwise a great first attempt.
Well done on your first game and jam dude! Great to have you amongst us!
Your game does have a couple of issues which may have been solved with play testing. 1. Right clicking that much, my middle finger just isn't built for it xD left click would have been nicer, or the choice! 2. The bullets from the player are just too darn slow, due to how fast and erratic the enemies are, it's near on impossible to hit anything.
Oh and I had an issue where the game went in to an infinite loop and I couldn't close it or anything, had to kill it in task manager (have you got a while loop somewhere?)
Last bit of advice, don't use installers, people hate using installers because it leaves crap on the machine, best just to zip up the game files and put the game somewhere like itch.io :)
Give it some polish and get some music/sound fx in there and this won't be a bad little game, keep it up!

This was a funny experiance! I need to install 6mb game?! hahaha! Nice!
Just use itch.io or something for hosting!
Also there is no feedback for player. I don't know if I'm doing good or not.
You made a game! Congratulations!
