A little hard to master the controls, but rockets help a lot.
Very fun game!

I love games like this, and you've made such a lot types of enemies - that's great!

Very fun. Sound and animation were pleasing, especially the rockets. Points up for the different enemies.

Nice game, the visuals are very nice. Good idea :)
May I suggest two little adjustments? I think it needs a little adjustments is the ship aim, because it's not aligned with the shots. And maybe a restriction on the screen border... I lost when a my ship when left by the edge of the screen.

Super fun, probably 1st or 2nd best in terms of fun of the games I have played so far. A little chaotic, but I guess that just adds to the fun. I bookmarked it so I can play it more later...

Typical arcade game. It seems that there a slightly offset on the aim. Good work!

A satisfying action game! I lost on my first attempt but on my second I was able to win on the second try.

At first I was taking a lot of risks to myself in order to keep the station safe but then I realized the station doesnt have a health bar - and it is in fact invulnerable :stuck_out_tongue:
Then I prioritizing my own safety much more highly and even found that I can shoot through the station to get at enemies on the other side.

The missiles were very cool and an effective way to take out those dodging enemies in the later waves. I liked the difficulty progression as time passed.
I suspect that missile drops would not spawn when I had 3 missiles ready but I wasn't able to confirm that.

@lucecyl Yes, you are welcome to suggest! The crosshair alignment is a problem, already working on it, thanks! I'm also working on a solution when you go outsite screen space. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

@almost Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the game!
About the strategies, I also like to use the missiles on the motherships, to take them down before they spawn too much ships. And the missiles drop indefinitely, but, maybe I'll change that in a post jam update.

The report at 5 thing just killed me. It was a totally unexpected and amazingly effective touch of humor.

Quick and fun! Easy to navigate around the space and good balance of enemies versus pickups. The pickup icons did tend to crowd the screen a bit if I didn't pick them up. Otherwise, great jam!

A simple yet fun game! Controls feel good, audiovisual assets are used very well, player feedback is mostly good. One thing I'd improve is to add better feedback on player getting damaged - maybe adding a little bit of camera shake, or temporarily blinking player sprite, or changing player sprite color for a short time. Overall, it's a great entry. I had fun playing it. ;)
