Signature Zero

The game looks great and feels very polished. I especially liked how the tutorial is built directly into the gameplay. Pixel art looks really smooth, almost photorealistic, but at the same time you can see "pixel art brush strokes ", which is really cool.

I think the experience would benefit a lot from music and sound effects. At the moment the gameplay loop feels a bit repetitive, since each level is based on repeating the same button sequence several times. I got stuck on level 2 after being hit by the missile a few times (and not understanding what Wave absorber is for), so by level 3 I was running out of energy. I still want to come back later though, because I think the game becomes much more interesting once more buttons and sensors are introduced.

In any case, this is an excellent entry, especially for a first game. Congratulations!

Incredibly good! Very nice graphics, very addicting gameplay and gradual increase in difficulty is top notch.

I would've definitely added sounds in post jam patch, it's really important way to communicate imminent danger and improve overall feedback loop.

Great work!!!

An interesting concept — I haven’t played anything like this before. The waves reminded me of my own game, but in mine you direct them, while here you defend against them 🙂

Great visuals!

But the game is missing sound and music.

Once I fully understood the rules, it actually became too easy. I didn’t need to use flares at all. Even the level where this mechanic is introduced can be completed without them. I only tried them once during one of my runs on that level, just to see how they work.

It felt odd to me that enemies pass through the ship. At first, I thought it was a problem when an enemy was moving toward the ship. When I started, I even tried to move it.

It would be nice to add some animation to the ship in the future
