Super sleek little score game. Once I realized you could crash enemies into each other it got really good 👍 plus the extra controls for dashing and flipping around add some great nuance to the gameplay

Extremely fun game! Just HAD to go for that high score. I found that letting the ships crash into each other was more valuable than shooting them, so eventually I was frantically dodging an armada of ships. 1st.png

I see your highscore, and I raise you 140 points xD Glad you enjoyed playing!

Really fun game.

A very polished game! My only suggestion would be not to use the pixel-perfect camera on UI elements and using a better font. Great game otherwise :)

Simple and effective graphics, nice music and good mechanics :thumbsup:

I survived until the ship that shoots arrived. Instant kill!

Be careful with uploading commits of your leaderboard config :spy:

Thank you! Didn't even think of that, thanks for the warning -> changed in the repo :)

Really fun game, I love the enemies crashing into each other mechanic. I might use it in a future game ;).

Almost beat you :D! For some reason I couldn't upload my local score again.

Ive seen your feedback over at @iguanana 's game and was so impressed by it that I had to check your game out :P

I think the best summary I can give you is a quote. "Now THIS is podracing" No really one of the best games so far, I could see me investing many hours into this game.

good game

The game was really fun but really difficult in the beginning. It took me a solid 5 minutes before I got my first points.

Overall a pretty good little game, and I really love the music. The controls could perhaps have been a bit better, especially rotating so you can hit the enemies is a bit difficult.

That was fun, although I was bad, but I will keep trying :D (I was just trying for 5 minutes because I wanna rate some more games before the deadline :3)

Challenging mechanic, but feels rewarding when you hit something :)

I just wish it was a liiiiiittle easier, maybe you should be able to rotate the ship a BIT with the mouse? (like superslow so that it wouldnt make sense to rotate with the mouse only, but oftentimes I missed the ships by a little bit only, and together with having to consider how W and S works it was a little too challenging for me :)

it was still a fun game!

graphicwise simple and solid with a cute ship :) I wish the font wasn't so blurry, I get that you probably wanted to compliment the pixel art, but I thing a pixel style font with clear edges would have done a better job

(for example anything from here https://www.dafont.com/de/bitmap.php)

Just download it, put the .otf or .tff into your project folder, chose the font and DONEEEEE (edit: okay, I'm using Unity, but this has to work for Godot as well? I might be a bit nit-picky but I'm so sick of tired of Arial and the like in every gamejam considering how little time it takes to use a decent font ^^)

A very awesome entry for a single person, congrats! :)

Awesome game! I have no idea how people get this high score (read, I'm bad at this) :P Nice music. Good job!
