Fun game! I had an issue where I couldn't close the pause menu and had to restart, but other than that it worked well! I think the game would really benefit from an increased fire rate or decreased spawning, I found it really hard to get anywhere as I was overwhelmed quickly with little time for progression and upgrades. Overll nice entry!
Fun shoot em up. Multiplayer and visual quality that come with Unreal are a very nice addition! Game is fast and responsive, upgrades and customization are great too.
Wth are these graphics! Looks awesome!
The game is magnificent, impressive for a jam! A functional multiplayer in such a short time, with lobbying, is also impressive. Great job!
Maybe that you should add screenshot to yout description here. To understand what type of game is without reading. Plus the download takes quit a long time.
When I start the game I have those two errors, I never see that with a Unreal Engine game :

Hi! This game seems really cool, but I can not not mention how bad it runs. I think I can run risk of rain 2 with more Fps than this, but let's set it aside. The graphics sure are amazing, and the music, although repetative, fits with the vibe you guys went with. But: The enemies spawn very quickly, and the objective is very unclear. The pause menu does not work, and there's no tutorial, or I overlooked something. Overall a bit over-the top great graphics, but lacking in gameplay
The graphics are really nice ! i think that with less ennemies at the beginning or less shoot to kill them would make the game better ! :space_invader:
Hi All!
Thank you for all your feedback.
When you are in the lobby. Be sure to click the Frost Wing ship. As the packaged version automatically has the wrong ship selected :).
If anyone else can get the errors show by FullSaphir I’d like to confirm the error - I suspect it’s a driver issue.
We will definitely be adding more images and description to the pages!
I really needed some sleep, but the plan for tomorrow is an optimization pass - removing anything we can, as well as optimizing the art. 72 hours just wasn’t enough to squeeze in optimization 😅
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that nearly every piece of feedback involves the player feeling crowded by the enemy spawn rate when the jam theme like “Limited Space”… 😎
But I feel like it lands right either way!
Great use of 3D models and substance painter, the overall presentation of this game is seriously awesome! The gameplay does require a bit more polish but it's still a lot of fun, for 3 days of work this is a big achievement. Props to the devs!
This was really fun and felt surprisingly polished. As we also did a 3D space game this time, I have to give big props on the graphics. Looking real good :)
Capture d'écran 2023-10-05 113817.png Aaaaaah my current record, it's very fun and a bit stressfull it's a bit of a shame that the following ships cost 2000 and 3000 gold, which I find a bit expensive. Thanks for your game, it is so polished and well made.
Spent too much time on this
The game itself was really fun but due to the low fire rate i was getting swarmed by low fps :d
after picking the chest my mouse dissapeared for a level, but besides that it was really fun! The ability to upgrade your firepower really improves it
The feedback so far has been amazing everyone, we've been adding features and knocking down bugs - as soon as the rankings are over we will push the new build <3
The game is pretty fun, I played it for quite a while. The escape menu doesn't work, it pops up and blurs the background, but you can't interact with it. The loot chests seem to not do anything when you click the collect button. The progression is a little slow, both getting upgrades each game and collecting gold to unlock more ships. Fixing the loot chests might help the upgrade speed a bit though. I'm playing the 0.9 version from itch.io if that helps find the bugs.
This is a solid start to something pretty cool.

We’ve been continuing to iterate and balance, we discovered the pause menu issue about 15 minutes after last submissions were due so there wasn’t much we could do.
We plan to release version 1.0 after the ranking is concluded, using all of the feedback received here!
Thank you so much for checking it out! ❤️
Nice!
Cool game! Very impressive that you have online multiplayer! The different abilities were cool. I wish the different enemies had more distinct personalities that I had to learn. Overall fantastic work!
I found the game incredibly captivating. The concept is truly impressive. Keep up the excellent work, and you'll undoubtedly reach a high level of professionalism
Thanks @dan-str!
We’ve fixed all the bugs mentioned above and as soon as rankings are complete we’ll upload the newest build 😀
Actually, I’m not even sure that’s a requirement - maybe we can upload it as a “post-jam” update that isn’t ranked?
Has some problems but still well done!
