- With a Mouse/Keyboard: Aim with the mouse, move with WASD, Left mouse click to shoot

Some insights / Tutorial

- When you shoot, the Overdrive gauge will rise. Each level (I, II, III, IV) grants a better score multiplier and bonuses (II = fire speed, III = fire rate, IV = fire damage). The goal is to stay in level IV at all time. Be careful however, if you max out your bar, you will take damage!
- Permanent upgrades are kept between runs, other upgrades last only for the current run.
- Overdrive gauge can be found at the top of the screen or at the bottom of your ship.

- Stats are:
- Fire
- Fire damage: Damages dealt by each bullet
- Fire rate: How many bullets per second do you shot
- Bounces: How many times your bullets can bounce on walls/enemies before being destroyed
- Speed: How fast does your bullets move
- Overdrive
- Stability: The higher this value, the slower will the Overdrive gauge rise (aka, the longer you will be able to shoot)
- [I] Cool Speed: The higher this value, the faster will the Overdrive gauge cool down (= you will wait less time for the gauge to cool)
- [II] Fire Speed: The fire speed added when you are at least in Overdrive II
- [III] Fire Rate: The fire rate added when you are at least in Overdrive III
- [IV] Fire Damage: The fire damage added when you are at least in Overdrive IV (the last part of the Overdrive gauge)
- Reroll: How many time can you reroll a reward card on the reward menu. This is the key to have better reward in for late game runs.
- Ship
- Life: Life of your ship
- Speed: How fast does your ship move
- Accuracy: How precise is your ship

Known Issues

- ~~If you use the "A" button on a Controller ingame, while NOT in a menu, you will probably bug the game. Will be fixed in post jam version 1.1.~~

Changelog

- 1.1 (October 5): Fix few breaking bugs UI related. I did not modify gameplay nor improve anything else.

Team

- I worked alone (well, with my cat). Everything you hear, see or play in the game have been made (in pain) in 72h.
- I streamed all the dev, you can find the replay on my twitch -and see the cat mentioned above!- ( https://www.twitch.tv/bastienre4 )
