Hahaha, was very fun to play - definitely gave me a throwback vibe to some early ps1/2 games that I used to play.

You guys did very well!

Great potential for goot shoot them up, but I got stuck after shooting all ants at the beginning.

Thanks for playing! @trioxxdreaper @shakirovich when the counter reaches 17 and says "Escape!" make sure to fly through the ring at the end of the level to go to the boss room!

This game is so cool! I loved it!

It was a fun shooting game, the controls felt great and it was enjoyable! I found it a bit hard to dodge the boss attacks at the same time of attacking, but it was okay because it was not dealing much damage. Great job!

I feel like this flying system could be really cool. But personally I just tried to move as little as possible because every movement just made me rotate weirdly again :joy: maybe I need to play more flight simulator or something but I couldn't get the steering to feel comfortable.
The sphere shape of the virus room also made me feel really disoriented :rofl: And in the end my missiles did the greater damage than the laser anyway, so I just stood still and started blasting.

The movement could definitely use some fine tuning, the ai wasn't the best but that was really really fun.

I had to turn my DPI all the way down and it took me a little too long to recognize what the anthills were, but once I got the swing of it, it was very fun! Great job!

I enjoyed this game quite a bit, it had a fun theme and reasonably well-executed gameplay. Dive-bombing the ants was quite a bit of fun, although I did find myself wishing that I had the ability to strafe at all, especially when fighting the boss it was very hard to doge when the only way to line up shots was to fly straight at it. The sounds and visuals were great, overall very well done!
