This game is really cool ! I like the the jetpack system and the difficulty added with the rocks ^^ Good game !

Your game is harder than it looks! Sometimes an enemy spawns right next to you, and that's a bit annoying, I think the spawn animation should have been a bit longer, or not happening right next to the player. The graphics are simple but looks really nice and the game plays well overall. My best score is 17 so far!

This game is simple but still really fun! The whole world really feels like "small" and the simple rules of the game make this stuff perfect to free your mind after hard job. I really loved the mechanic and the fact that the game plays really smooth. But still I think that this game is too small. There are a lot of features you can add - rebuilding the level, limited ammo, different enemies or just some random events like earthquakes. My best score was 21 btw

I love that the game feels like an old arcade game. It has a good level of difficulty what makes the game very good and interesting. Pretty cool sound effects and the pixel art is also very good! The only bad thing was that the enemies sometimes spawn right in front of you. But overall it is an awesome game! Had a lot of fun playing it!

Finally, a version of Super Crate Box that is both fun and fair! In all seriousness, I really like the tiny pixel art and the tight controls. This was really fun to play, great work!

Super nice pixel Art and the controls felt super smooth!

Great game! I've made a very [similar one](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/the-last-haven), but you've managed to make smoother controlling and the clearer goal here. The fact that the score increases by collecting barrels instead of a number of kills is an interesting choice actually. The game shifts from "kill everyone" to "just clear your way" mode and it's still a lot of fun.

It's a pity, that the game doesn't show my high score together with my last score, because it happened to me a few times, that I accidentally closed the score screen in a button mashing rage :grinning: I believe I've had a score over 30 but can't say for sure.

Overall very fun and polished game!

the style and the gameplay are very polished, i really liked it. i didnt like the vertical oscillation of the level, it made me sort of dizzy. great entry!

Great game, nice variation on the super crate box design with the jetpack thing. Really enjoyed it, great pixel art, nice feel and polish, would be nice to see a couple of other original features, but for a game jam thats a bit of a harsh complaint. Seems like its crying out for a leaderboard also. Obviously some music would be great too, although the sfx are good.

The absolute absence of re-spawn delay makes this into a real gem. It is seriously hard to stop playing.

Really great game ! Well polished, fun and addictive gameplay, nice graphics ! And really challenging, I like it a lot ! My best score is 18...

Well done, good job on this entry :thumbsup:

Nicely polished entry. I like the animation of the barrels teleporting in. Nice clean pixel art. My high score is 23.

takusan 2017-05-09 18:06

Simple, polished as it is, dosn't try to do more than it's intended to.

Also: can be hard. Meat Boy hard.

Mechanics are very well made, I also love the art. Feedback to player is clear, and game loop with fast replay but punushing death really serves the game well. Even some humour squeezed its way in :)

Controls are tight, no issues regarding hitboxes or glitches, movement is spot on.

And basically nothing I could think of to add. Solid entry.

Cheers!

I love how minimalistic yet so pure and fun it is. You focused on the goal and you executed it perfectly without any unfinished "addons" around it. Straight forward gameplay, great animations and incredible graphics that add space mood to the game.

philomory 2017-05-09 18:56

This is quite fun, and you pulled off the art style _really_ well. I think as a Jam entry it holds up quite well as it is, but in an expanded version I think it might require lives or HP, because at the moment it gets very difficult _quite_ quickly. I'd love to see some alternate maps, though, maybe power ups, etc.

In any case, really well-constructed entry! Kudos.

Great game! Really well made fun game, that has great pixel graphics and sound effects, with nice smooth controls. Overall a very polished, very well made game!

Looks great and is super polished. Doesn't try to do anything mind blowing, but it feels and plays great. The way the enemies bounce around once shot is fantastic. Controls are responsive and I like the added touch of asteroids flying through.

steve 2017-05-13 23:01

Fun game! I'd have liked to have seen a longer spawn in animation as every time I died it was due to running into something that just spawned, also the game over screen needs to eat key presses for a second or so as I kept missing my score because I was hammering fire still thinking I was alive! Nicely polished though and great artwork, well done!

tselmek 2017-05-14 18:18

Very fun entry! Sometimes felt a bit unfair to have enemies spawn right on us, and I felt like the control scheme didn't feel very natural, I found myself not shooting (using the spacebar) that much. Complaints aside this is a very cool entry, lovely tiny pixelart and rather smooth gameplay. The game is short and well executed, perfct for a jam!

careface 2017-05-15 16:59

simple and fun, loved the pixel art. good job :)

bajarymi 2017-05-15 20:18

Loved the art style, especially the details in the background. Only think I would change is the controls as jumping felt a little awkward at times. Good job

dusho 2017-05-15 20:42

fun game. The pixel art is really good. Also sounds fit nicely. Best score 12, though.. Was a bit hard for me..

puppetmaster 2017-05-15 21:53

Wooh!! This pixel art is very cute. I like also the visual presentation. The theme fits perfect and the soundfx are well done. congrats for your cool entry!!

benjamin 2017-05-18 13:32

very nice graphic and mood. I would have love a more detailled gameplay with different monsters and/or barrel effects.
