Good job with the theme, first game I've played that really worked with it. Was fun, but a bit easy due to the enemy spawning mechanics and the power of the bullet upgrades.

Simple gameplay, simple graphics and easy to understand controls. I don't really see how the theme was implemented but it is relatively fun to play. PRO tip: make a web player version, more people will play your game that way!

Interesting idea a game the scrolls but is still on one "screen". However the game was hard and i was bad at it. I found the controls to be really annoying(No strafing, arrow keys to turn). The no strafing does make sense because its a spaceship but it makes it difficult to shoot a people without just standing there getting shot and the slow turn speed makes this much worse (Mouse turning plz). Other than that it looked like a good game.

I don`t always download games from LD, but when I do, it's because it's a shmup. :P
you could ported it into web, will help you with feedback :)
nice idea tho :)

Nice idea, but it took me a while to get to the text in my ship, so I didn't get it till then. Maybe zoom out a bit more? Also, it was really hard because your ship's a little slow and there's a huge number of bullets.

Movement was a bit slow for me, but this is well put together. Great use of the theme.

Nice graphics, and funny game, but I dont see where the theme is here, there's a lot of stuff out of the screen

Nice idea of the theme :)

It's like a bullet hell game O.o

furrikira 2014-12-08 17:35

Wow, never thought you would tackle that in that way at all!
You literally fight on the main menu... interesting!

It's all fun but going to the boss alone, lagged the hell out of me with my current specs. But I bet it's great!

Nice idea, and challenging gameplay.

Challenging game !

This game would have greatly benefited from some more juice, explosions when you kill enemies, sound effects etc.

I recommend this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U

Good take on the theme!
The turn rate could be a little faster in my opinion.

designernap 2014-12-08 20:18

Excellent application of the theme! a little tricky to play but a good concept.

groydis 2014-12-09 00:52

Cool Idea, I like it. Needs a bit more polished for controls. No sound makes me sad too.

ViliX 2014-12-09 16:25

The player could be a bit faster. It's a great game for your first entry, though :)

rougerogue 2014-12-09 16:31

The idea is pretty creative and I like how you had the boss there. It's really fun!

lynx 2014-12-09 20:31

I'm loving the fact that you play on the menu screen, very clever. I will say though the controls feel like they need a bit of inertia to them. If your in space, you would kind of keep gliding a little after you release a button.

But that boss though, man!

triplefox 2014-12-10 01:52

I had some fun with this. It was perplexing to have the zoomed-in camera be the default since most of the time I wanted more visibility, and of course the balance felt too hard at first, then too easy after getting some upgrades. Good work overall.

si1ver 2014-12-10 18:35

Very interesting idea about the theme!

diegomustache 2014-12-10 18:37

The found the controls difficult. I think the controls would have been a better if you shot towards your mouse cursor and the ship moved on fixed axes (with some momentum) with WASD. However, I like the idea.

Nice Interpretation of the theme :)

eolhing 2014-12-12 15:01

Wow that game is hard ! I love the fact that the position of the boss is given from the start :)

sinistragames 2014-12-13 00:47

Concept might be quirky, to battle from menu systems. I would like to see that explored a bit more in another game. Like a play on the stickmen playing around on your desktop :P Good job
