Great looking game! The controls were a bit awkward (the character "slides" too much, which can lead to frustration), but it looks so good I just want to keep playing. Good job!

I like the graphics! The music is also very good and the game if really satisfying to play.

A fun little game! Nice graphics and music, with a fun arcade-y feel. Recommended

Love the style!

Top notch game! I really enjoyed playing, the first alien I saw made me go "OMG ALIENS", was pretty awesome overall I think you did an amazing job, well done.

Awesomely addictive little game, awesome sounds with a little bit repetitive music, 11090 was my final score after 8 minutes.
The powerups were pretty well balanced and the fact that you didn't need to catch them was nice.
The number of asteroids and enemies made it feel slightly overwhelming at times, but then those shockwaves kept dropping in.

Pretty awesome and fun. Very satisfying powerups!
It's a bit too long for my tastes though. I felt like I had seen most of what the game had to offer after 25% of those dots at the top of the screen were filled.

Amazing graphics and sound! The gameplay is fun too, good job. I just wished the character moved just a bit faster.

I've seen this game concept over and over again trough this Ludum... But this is the best one without doubts. Good difficulty curve, nice powerups, great music, cute graphics. Good job! I had a good time playing it :)

Thanks for the great feedback everyone! I plan on releasing a small post-compo update with new content and refined controls very soon!

Nice game! The guitar really adds to the mood of the game and the graphics are awesome. Good work! =)

I really want to play this...mac :(

Looks cool, but I'm on a Mac.

Very fun! It just needs to progress much faster. My first try, I got about half way through (I think, ~chaos 8), and a score of 15437 (I think) in ten minutes and 31 seconds.

After 10 minutes, though, I don't want to replay it. I know I'd have to play for another 20 minutes to get to the end, and I'd probably lose the first time I see the boss (if there is one). Knowing in advance that I'd probably have to invest at least another 40 minutes or so to see the ending makes me not want to do it.

Can't play Windows-only games this LD, which is too bad because this looks great! I'll try to have something worked out for next time!

Great game! It's fun and very responsive, and the spinning background is gorgeous.
That said, I missed some more variety on the action, and the music became a little bit grating after 15 minutes straight listening to it.

Having a very similar concept on my own entry, it's nice to see how it could've turned out should I'd went with the keyboard-based control, as I did originally, instead of using the mouse. The other difference being that your game is actually playable and fun, and it looks like that really makes a difference! Go figure!! XD

Congratulations!!
