Wow. It's a wonderful game, the effects are very pleasant. And what about this introduction with synchronized sound effects. Just, good job !

The graphics look great! Makes me with I had a PC so I could try it!

Nicely done game! Very good execution, the graphics look beautiful and it's a nice game to sit down with and enjoy for a while.

Really great game here. The graphics and sound are amazing. The game mechanics are simple, but very effective in this setting. The intro felt a bit long to my liking for such a short title overall.

Loved it!

I am extremely jealous of you, and you should be proud, because this is incredible. The audio adds so much to the feel, and the parallax, especially on the water, was so cool.

Holy shit, the music, together with the sound of the rain, is amazing! And that intro really sets the mood -- you really do feel like you're desperately fleeing. Baiting enemies to fly into rocks is very satisfying. The only nitpick I have is that it feels more like luck whether you can get a fuel can or not. Great job!

Congratulations! The intro is worderful and gets you into the game atmosphere. Both graphics and music are very good. And the survival feeling is kept during the game.

You did great job here!

Love the graphics and the sound design. Controls are great too, the plane really feels like it has a weight.

@fire-phantom7 Glad you liked it! We really spent time (maybe too much) on the visuals. Thanks for the feedback.

crochar 2020-04-21 18:38

@kitjenson I understand your point, at the end we realized maybe we needed a deeper gameplay for such an intro. Thanks for playing.

crochar 2020-04-21 18:39

@mightycode Yeah nailing the music was hard, glad you liked it!

crochar 2020-04-21 18:39

@thewustache Thanks, we added the intro to give a sense of purpose and it seems it worked!

visually the best game i have played today. it is hard, but fun to play. i would maybe make the pickups hitboxes a bit bigger, sometimes very hard to get them. Overall a very cool game and extremely overwhelming you made this in such a short time.

Great atmosphere and graphics. Only thing that i can to comment - a long time i didn't understand why enemy not shooting and don't get why bullets comming from the edge of the screen. For me, enemy rockets in the start of animation are blends in with the background.

Great job! I really like the subtle variations in gameplay.

Here are some suggetions: - Is there a way to skip the intro cinematic? I think it should always be an option - Having a water ripple effect when Ganimede is flying low would be awesome (see Luftrausers as an example). It's both aesthetically pleasant, but it also works to warn the player. - I find that people are way more likely to download a game hosted on itch.io than a google link drive.

Extremely polished audio, art and gameplay. Love the name as well!

Really cool game :)

ovrrall a VERY good game. great use of the theme and it was a very visually pleasing game. i had a hard time knowing when the enemy fire was coming so that might help. great game, thanks for making it.

@m-trigo We thought the intro thing was important and since you probably only play once this game we left it unskippable. The water effect was a thing we wanted to do but we prioritized other things, th would have been cool though. The game is hosted on itch.io too, we didn't put the link tho, it should be fixed now!
