Very hectic when you are closing to getting in, took me a few tries. I also appreciate the humor.

it's quite challenging, feels good to open the door after few misses. Good music too

art: 5/5 I really love the art style game play: 5/5 I can see myself playing this for a few hours on an rainy day theme: 3/5 Running out of space litterly audio: 3/5 I like the ambiance and the sound effects are really fitting summery: I really enjoy this game, Good job!

A very literal take on the theme. The core gameplay is rather simple, but the "assemble a door" mechanic is quite fun. Overall, while the game may not be very innovative, the sense of humour and quality of execution make for a really fun way to spend a couple minutes on.

I liked the game! Very fitting sounds and art. Good job overall!

love the way the controls are highlighted in text fun, pretty polished overall a solid take on the theme

snakemuho 2018-08-13 02:05

@evanm @suve yeah, when I saw the theme during the voting my very first idea was a literal space shoot-em-up where you have less and less screen space over time. Didn't want to do anything too crazy for my first jam.

Fun, and cool idea. A bit too easy

super8bitrafa 2018-08-13 05:02

very fast paced and fun! I found that I could just stand in one place and shoot for a long time. I lasted 2 mins like this

alex-adedge 2018-08-13 08:24

Solid game, looks and feels well crafted overall. That space background was mesmerising ^_^

rk3omega 2018-08-13 12:47

Nicely done. Shooting feels great and it controls nice overall. This is one I could see having a pretty good play time.

100th-coin 2018-08-13 15:46

The controls are tight! I love it.

girania 2018-08-13 15:50

I really liked it, though I kinda felt it was bit short. I had a great playtime, still.

ghen 2018-08-13 18:17

nicely done !, nice space shoot 'em up game, the control feels nice while shooting with space for me a bit awkward at first, i love the graphics its consistent all the way

jay-elbourne 2018-08-13 23:18

Yes, I agree with comments, Very fun to play and love the idea. I wanted to retry over and over. Which is my only negative, my high score was not persisted between plays, use PlayerPrefs or something simple. I so wanted to beat my high score cause it was a lot of fun.

snakemuho 2018-08-13 23:47

@jay-elbourne actually the high score only saves when you exit through the door, and not when you die. Guess a bad design choice on my side

ossi 2018-08-14 04:11

Very nice! The shooting felt really good! I noticed that if you didn't move at all and just held the shoot button down you could get pretty far if the black holes didn't spawn in front of you. However, once the game started to speed up I had to move again, so my strategy didn't last for very long! Congrats on your first full videogame too, good job!

I really liked the door mechanic.

andy-d 2018-08-14 22:48

Really nice! I found it challenging to build up the door and then it took me a minute to figure out what to do when I had :face_palm: Great work!

nick-rafalski 2018-08-16 03:33

This is great for a first complete game! You bit off a very manageable amount of scope, and polished it up nicely! The shooting feels satisfying, and the art and sound are great. Very nice job!

batmanasb 2018-08-19 21:09

14175 high score! But that was before I read the comments to figure out that the door did... lol. It's a little insanely fast so I couldn't focus on the door.

But yeah, the little legs and the door mechanic in general are hilarious!
