| Oct 7 17:18:37 | Y.A.Z.S.G | ♥ 1 | A solid and fun twin-stick shooter. In my first run I didn't know about the special ability, so a small help text at the start of the game would have been helpful (however, the controls were explained in the game description, so it's fine). I reached 2 million points with the first character after enough upgrades to fire rate and reload time (I quit the game at that point - I don't know how many points I could have reached in total 😅). The difficulty curve could have been a bit steeper (but balancing never is easy in a game jam), and it would have been nice to have some more types of upgrades (and then randomly select 3 of them to choose from every time). Also, the second character felt a bit weak compared to the first one (slower, less bullets per reload, and the special ability seemed less powerful than the slow-motion ability) and I didn't see any advantage to choosing the second character... Except for a higher difficulty, which may have been the intention, though...? Overall I had some fun with the game. Good job :) | |
| Oct 7 17:45:14 | 26m 37s | FLARE | ♥ 0 | Likes others have said: The game is really hard to understand and lacks help texts. Due to the time limit it's very hard to find out what's happening by trial and error, there just isn't enough time to play around and see what happens. Also, there isn't even a lot of controls, so it very much feels like not being in control of anything really... While a tutorial might not really be the best choice for this game, a few help texts that explain what the buttons do, what they influence etc. would be really helpful. The graphics are fine for a game jam game, I actually like the poorly drawn spaceship in the intro. ^^ Generally the intro is done well, except that it should state the "mission" of the game (i.e. fix the drive and escape from the star). The sound was a bit too loud, especially the first explosion was louder than expected. |

Also, some more animations and effects could have helped, for example when casting a spell onto a monster, the monster just disappears without any visual effects. Apart from that, good job! :) |
| Oct 7 19:38:26 | 1h 31m | Fall Girl | ♥ 2 | Very nice game! I love the idea/inspiration, the graphics are really good and cute, and generally it was a lot of fun! The difficulty curve was good, the first level wasn't too easy but also not too difficult, and the last one was a bit of a challenge (in a good way). I really just have some smaller nitpicks: The controls (especially jumping) sometimes didn't work smoothly. Also, waiting for the platforms to move (and then hoping that they move in the right direction) sometimes was a bit annoying. Controlling the platform movement via keys would have been cool. But all in all a very very great game! :) |
