Looks and feels like a finished game. Also, you stuck to the theme well. Great job!

Thank you Richard, that's a really nice compliment! Loved making it!
This is quite a nice game! Not a bad entry well done
The orbital shooting is really well done. It took me a few minutes of experimenting to get the hang of the aiming but after that I was able to plan my shots pretty well. I find hitting the enemies an interesting challenge. The green shots are the most fun. The ambient music is nice but I wish there was a bit more audio feed back for hitting the enemies. Great use if the theme!
Love the game. Graphics audio and gameplay are all on point! The only improvement I can think of is an increasing difficulty over time. E.g. decrease the time between individual enemies and increase their number every 5 waves.
@alexthedev Thank you, I really appreciate it!
@internetpaulicy Thanks for taking the time to write this review! Glad to hear that you liked it and I fully agree that there shouldve been some kind of audio feedback, but I failed to get it to work just before the deadline.
@rialgar Awesome, I really appreciate it! The game does increase in difficulty, slowly. The enemies get a little bit of extra HP based on the wave count :smile: . But you are totally right, good feedback, it'd be good to increase the difficulty in a fun way!
I liked the aiming and different types of bullets, but I found that the game got boring quickly. More variation in enemies and quicker difficulty progression would make this more interesting.
This would be difficult to fit into a 48 hour period, but maybe an upgrade system and tower building system (making the game more like a tower-defense game) could improve it too? That's just my opinion, and maybe you had something different in mind, but I know that would help me enjoy the game more.
I know my review seems kinda negative, but it's not a bad game! Great job, especially with the audio and graphics.
@vikinggames Thanks for the compliments and thanks for the feedback!
Agreed, it gets boring rather quick. I'd love to build it into a type of tower defense game, believe it or not, it was actually one of my ideas haha :smile:
I appreciate feedback a lot, no need to praise the game to death. I prefer honest feedback! It just sucks that I had less than 48 hours due to my birthday being on the 23rd, otherwise I wouldve tried to turn it into a tower defense!
Very interesting concept! I really liked that the projectiles changed their type, and the particles you added, while simple, they added a lot to the feel of the game. As a tower defense I think it would be very fun and entertaining, I'd love to see how you expand on it. Well done! =]
@harry-alissavakis Thank you for the kind words! I'd love to expand this game with the feedback in mind. Loved your game by the way!
