I like the work done with the graphics, the stationary-related style of the game and kitten ammo. :P

Very neat!

I always enjoy a good round of asteroids :D I'll follow you guys on Twitter!

Neat concept, but my wrist hurts by having to mash the spacebar so much. Buff the damage dealt and it would be better.

The sound that played when you got the cat powerup killed my ears.

yeah sorry about the button / spacebar mashing. It was a bug we wanted to fix but ran out of time.

The visuals are really interesting, very effective I'd say. I was glad to see that the paper airplane even appeared to get more damaged after... taking damage. I noticed that after sort of suicide-running into things after "beating" one round. I beat that round at around 80 something health.

Sound effects weren't bad but the game lacked an overall atmosphere. Some sort of abstract office space sounds could have been appropriate. Something like this?

If you had an audio guy/gal a sort of abstracted, delayed and "spacey" version of that atmosphere could have been really cool.

It's an asteroid clone so the gameplay itself isn't really innovative or terribly different but I think your group did a great job overall putting together a complete game. The main thing that sort of put me off a bit was that after clearing the initial paper asteroids, they just spawn in again all over instantly haha.

Also the difficulty is perhaps too easy to remain engaging. That and it felt really repetitive hitting spacebar to shoot. A constant hold-to shoot (with a like 0.5 second delay) and the option to tap-to-shoot rapidly I think would have been a good route to take from the current version.

Nice job getting a pretty well rounded game done for the jam everyone! It's not easy but you did it!

Sorry about the sound volume, we where working in a loud environment together and I did not realize it was so loud until I tried playing it tonight with head phones on. I'll see if I can get a patch out later this week.

Thanks CriticalMammal, it was a lot of fun and thanks for the comments.

Great graphics, cool game!

Sometimes you will spawn on top of the paper-balls and die... But when that doesn't happen the game is pretty fun. Although I cant say too much for the audio, the graphics were pretty nice. Great work for just 16 hours!

Hey, a fellow paper airplane game! Sorry I couldn't try it out. Crashes under Win 8.1 VM... :(

I liked the graphics style and the game was pretty fun.
