@henrik-ganard Sorry about that, didn't realize that the itch link wasn't showing. Added it to the description.

I love it when a game mechanic first seems simple and then you realize that the rabbit hole goes deeper. To use extra moves to line up the enemys was alot of fun. Thanks for making this game.

Interesting game. I tried to wait by attracting enemies and crushing them. But when they come from all directions, they kill me because I don't have the energy to make a new move.

Cool execution of a simple concept. When I got the second ship I was very excited! One tiny thing that is a bit annoying is how at the start the respite phase is a bit boring and could probably be skipped, after you die you just want to get back to the more interesting parts!

I love the simplicity of this game! I feel like it might have been better if enemies spawned at random distances, to mix things up a bit and make it so enemies aren't just a "circle" surrounding the player -- but that's a minor complaint (if that!)

I like it. Feels innovated. The game is surprisingly relaxing. I agree it needs some different enemies in later stages but maybe that was outside the scope. In some of the games I've played the 10 seconds doesn't work so well but it feels good here.

The instant dashing is satisfying. I was only able to keep my second ship alive for a couple waves because I was so tempted to try foolish maneuvers to survive with many enemies. The graphics and sound are simple but functional, and I like the sonar effect and accompanying sound when the dash is restored. Well done!

Wow. I survived 19 waves. When the second plane appears, it becomes more difficult. Very simple idea and very good implementation. One of the best games I've played on this jam. The graphics and sound match very well. I especially like how reloading is visually displayed on the plane itself. Super.
