Good work on the art, and I really liked the music! My only gripe is the fact that I can't move sometimes? I just get stuck and nothing is blocking me.

alright thanks :D I'll fix it and post the edit on the post
I want to play it but I can only move right and down!
Loved the Artwork and Music. Animation could definitely use some work. Sadly the movement or collision seems bugged.
okay thanks for the reviews c: I'll post a v1.2 for better collisions, the movement is defined to QWERTY now by default (I'm french and have azerty ahah sorry) ! but for animation, risu the game artist... its pretty much the first time she did this sort of animation ahah
The art is great! The boomerang is cool, saldy the movement is broken :/ Fix it soon and will play it again!:)
since it has been a while since i used adobe animate, I'm still getting reused to it, I know the walk cycle especially could have been better but I kinda runned out of time sorry. Thanks for your comment :)! To change the keyboard to qwerty or azerty you just have to go on option at the top left corner^^

Hey, pretty neat game you got there! It does crash from time to time, but I guess that's expected with such short dev time. I like killing some aliens with my space boomerang XD
crash ? not in game over tho ? ("fix game over" it was closing the game) ; but thanks :D BUT THIS IS NOT KILLING, its converting ahah
That's an awesome game! I love the changing face of the rocket, the music and the gameplay with the boomerang. Well done!
PS: Par contre, je crie au complot, ça doit être le cinquième ou sixième jeu fait par des français que je teste là =p (So many french people)
This game is extremely polished and very fun to play considering it was made in a short amount of time. By far, the best game I have played yet. Really good job!
:bug: please accept this caterpillard of thankfulness
@burstasia @reizoukin @meanderthal @ferran-benavente @ferran-benavente I tag you in case you want to see the update or answer I gave o/ (srry I forgot to do it in my previous comments)
Fun game ! Art is good in general, very fun. But I crashed when I finished the second level :( I pressed "Space" to pass the ending screen, and it crashed. Here's the log :
___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object menu:

@sugiuro thanks, I really appreciate the fact this is fun as a game designer c:
...Unlucky you are (or not ?), the update v1.1 ~~(ye I change 1.5 to 1.0.5)~~ is here, with a bit more than the fix of your crash *(thank you for the log tho !)*
it is a really good looking and overall nice game
Looks and sounds nice, controls well, the camera seems a bit too close for comfort and then there are no monsters at all.
All I can do is collect things and eventually run out of energy... Why is this?
@Narudgi
Let this be a lesson for you. Always test your project before uploading!
Trying again then.
Got to level 3; nothing much has changed. The colors sure and the layout a bit, but the challenge is still on the same low level as the previous two levels.
Every enemy dies in one hit and taking a hit yourself is not a big deal as every enemy drops more health. The only marginally difficult task was finding the ship sometimes when I had wandered off course for too long.
Pleasant, but too easy to hold my interest for long. Solid effort technically. I especially like the spaceship expressions.
@huvaakoodia Thanks but have to wait for the wave, monsters should come... OH NO let me update this aaa sorry
Oh ! Ye I will change the updated version later, very later, when It will really be better ; but ye as my first posted game I did a lot of things wrong ahah, thanks ludum for making people improve them :D
Thanks alot for the review
Nice game ^_^ i wish it have some kind of minimap or compass to show where is spaceship, or may be it is only me who can get lost so easily. Great art style, dynamic and music (/¯–‿･)/¯
@rune-drawer o damn thanks, it is done in this purpose : camera close + no map on a planet... to get lost easily... it would have been more "understanding" with more visual elements ; but It is what I wanted ;D
insta wow
The Graphics are pretty nice and the boomerang is really fun to use, plus chasing those energy souls is a really cool mechanic, and after that managing your energy and distributing it evenly over yourself and the ship. My controls were a bit glitched but i managed to play.
@reggnos Thank you, I'm happy to see its fun aaaa
The updated version shouldn't be glitched if you want o: (don't change your rate based on that tho)
Like the graphics, laughed a lot with the sound fx.
@droy What you downloaded the best version ? ahahah this is not the real one boy but if you laughed a lot its great anyway ahah
The art and music were really good! Have to say the controls were really weird, but I enjoyed it. Maybe make the ship take less energy to power? it took a long time
Two bad the controls were messy for the jam I figured out how to switch them tho. I liked the way the characters joints were animated. The enemies looked good too, a simple style but worked well in this situation. The boomerang is a nice weapon choice. The audio sounded good. The game play was too repetitive to be fun for very long. I actually started getting bored of just the boomerang even tho its a great choice. Some type of power up could have helped in that. I noticed that the player moved twice as fast when moving diagonal and that is something that is actually pretty easy to fix, so it appears to be over-looked. Again I played the jam version and not the update. I'm sure it plays much better after a few fixes. The controls were smooth and it played well. I did kill myself while fueling the rocket. I realize you want the player to avoid this, but this is the type of things that could be polished with more time, I did like the polish on the menu, but the icon could have said settings or config or options, and could have been a smaller button then too. Not trying to knit-pick just some feedback. Great jam!!
I really the graphics though I found the main character walk animation a bit too rigid. The start screen is beautiful. The gameplay is cool ;-)
@rikoclon @markwolf omg thanks so much for these reviews, next time I think we can do 10 times better thanks to you and what I learned, we really need to optimize things, we will get better ; thank you really, for long feedback and short about the gameplay
Realy impressive for a first jam! The art style is amazing, and your game work fine ! I'm excited about what you will do in the future.!
Not too shabby, same complaints as everyone else. Mostly that I could only move toward the right and down, wouldn't let me go up or left which made it unplayable. I enjoyed the concept, space-a-rang lol.
Thanks to all of you. it was a pleasur to make the music of this game for Narugi, Risuniku and you. (no one said something wrong about the music, so i think my work was not so bad rofl).
