I like the idea a lot and the graphics in combination with the sound are working very well together. The gameplay was a little frustrating as it was hard to avoid/sing away the rockets.

I really dig the art style here.

This was fun, but gets a little tedious after a few minutes. I absolutely LOVED the art style. Makes me think of a quirky animated short played on cartoon network circa 1998. the idea is pretty clever overall and good execution. Nice game.

Very cool art and setting. I eventually let myself die after 150 seconds - is there an ending? I dig the creativity! The artwork definitely stands out.

The graphics were really beautiful! It was a good take on the theme. "Space Opera"... very unique!

I liked the concept, but Valkyrella is too big to dodge the rockets, although I haven't gotten my head around the "singing" thing. All in all, decent game.

Pretty interesting but gets monotonous after the first thirty seconds. Nice setting though.

First time I arrived on the title screen, I got stuck. Pressed all keys (including space), clicked everywhere, nothing! I refreshed, and the second time, I pressed space and the game started. But then, I had no idea how to play so I pressed all keys again, clicked around but nothing happened. You might wanna let us know how to play your game :) Anyway, I reloaded the game a third time and finally I could move around. I laugh a lot, this is quite different and funny to play. I agree with Timtipgames though, it's a bit frustrating.

Beautiful art style, and great use of the theme, but it does get old rather quick

oh my god

Beautiful artwork, good sound, and a really clever interpretation of the theme. Well done!

barry-p-evans 2014-12-09 06:23

Solid! simple but i just kept playing! the background chords really made it!

Art style is awesome. Nice idea, and fun gameplay, but no difficulty curve. At first it's hard to shoot all rockets but after a while it's just to easy when you get a hang of it.
Anyway, great and unique game.

I loved this game. Unique mechanic on a played out genre. The graphic design was top notch. The music was great. I played it a few times, which says allot in itself.

raisedmedia 2014-12-09 14:48

awesome game great work! i love funny games!

windmill-games 2014-12-09 15:06

I really like the idea, it was well executed with nice art and sound/music. The whole game feels well well thought out and humorous!

Good job!

mrbadivan 2014-12-09 15:30

Cool idea, awesome art and nice vocal sound! Well done!

rono 2014-12-09 16:41

Nice! Very good take on the theme.
Nice visuals and consistent style.
It's just too bad there isn't more to do!
Good job!

kunonooni 2014-12-09 23:47

I really liked this. Great use of sound, was thinking about creating a game where the hero attacked using sound myself. Music fit the action really nice. Well done!

mattshepard 2014-12-10 01:59

Very interesting, I love the concept and the art is well suited. A little variation in the opponents would be nice, but what it does it does well.

damian 2014-12-10 03:13

Love the idea. Solid execution. Art is super dope too. The musical build-up had me going for a while until I realized it's not building up to anything at this point, hah :D. But such is game jamming, right?
Great entry!

lynx 2014-12-10 05:23

Overall a really clever solution to the theme and some gorgeous graphics as well! Great job!

camlang 2014-12-10 14:35

The art style is really well done, but the gameplay sorta gets repetitive after a few minutes.

npexception 2014-12-10 19:41

Well done! Classic genre, fresh interpretation. I love it! :)

sushidestroy 2014-12-11 00:06

Love the art style, the game is a bit repetitive sadly

matpg 2014-12-11 00:07

Good work!
The opera singer is litlle bit too large though

andynonomous 2014-12-11 00:11

Nice aesthetic. Simple, but it works. Could use a little variety, but I get it, there's only so much time.

pjimmy 2014-12-11 10:58

beautiful game, nice visuals and sound, well done

larzan 2014-12-11 10:58

This is awesome! Great idea with the notes / opera / space combination, very creative (ok, lets forget physics for a sec ;p)
Loved it, great idea, well implemented, great gfx + sound.
Well done!

deyteris_team 2014-12-11 10:59

aaaa...I was laughing all the time playing Space Opera..Incredible! And the character so cute!

sushin 2014-12-11 11:10

Is the bohemian rhapsody of this Ludum dare! Good job!

purpleapes 2014-12-11 14:40

"In space, no one can hear you scream" But Sing YES!
Nice idea!

dieblume86 2014-12-11 20:42

Nice start.

mase 2014-12-12 16:05

It's a bit repetitive; needs more Wagner and less Glass. Some coloratura would be nice as well.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-15 20:41

My landlord about 20 years ago was an opera singer, but I don't think he ever had to fend off rockets!

First, the bad news. The game was fairly easy to play and didn't seem to progress much. But the good news is that the graphics are impeccable and have a lot of character, and the actual idea of an actual Space Opera is pure bonkers craziness!

Next, I want a bit of Handel. Early space opera would be great.

broknecho 2014-12-16 04:16

Fun idea. Got a little repetitive and my cat seemed to pipe up to the notes a little after hearing them for 205 seconds :P Great job!

flickta 2014-12-23 19:47

More humour than fun, but a great entry! Singing sounds cool.

lonelytimelord 2014-12-23 19:50

Awesome game, love the graphics
