Nice graphics, controls are easy. Would be nice if you could make a game easier (at least at start)

Nice graphics! I did start to get the hang of playing the game and the controls as I moved forward, but wish it was a little easier.

Cool take on the theme. I liked the controls and graphics, though the game was pretty hard. Overall I enjoyed it, nice work!

controls and music are great!

I wish I could say I played the whole thing but I couldn't even get to the purple section lol. I think it'd be cool if either the player health was increased, or the auto-scroll speed was lowered. There were also some points where it seemed impossible for the player to go between two obstacles without taking damage.

This one is excellent. I love everything about it! Great visuals, great music, great fit to the theme. Excellent work!

Pretty great! I like the concept, sooooo hard though D: I didn't get too far, died a bunch, I managed to get as far as the first area with the viruses or whatever those are.

This was a good little game. The controls were good, and you got the right level of "floaty-ness" for the ship. The graphics are great with lots of polish and feel really cohesive. This is a game I would've spent hours trying to finish, but I'm stuck on the third (bright purple) section.

Not sure if the collision damage is based on speed, or some other factor, but I feel like more consistent damage scaling would help. Sometimes I would slam into an object and take no damage, and other times I would give a rock a love tap and instantly die.

As for some of the sections (especially in the purple section), they are quite narrow - it almost feels impossible at some points. Maybe if the slow down button slowed down time, it would let you fine tune your ship for those tight turns.

Overall, this was a blast and I really enjoyed it!

I finally made it past the cells, couldn't quite get the through the next part. It is a bit of a challenge, perhaps make the start easier. I liked the way the ship performed, drifting though the course was satisfying when you hit the gaps just right. The damage was a bit random feeling to me, perhaps something more consistent. It would be nice to be able to see the shield around the ship perhaps But overall it was fun I liked it :smile:

This game is kinda difficult for me, in 15 attempts my best score was about 25. The theme was followed quite well, sounds are average. Anyway GJ

Woah, this one's tough! I couldn't beat it but I really liked how movement felt. Getting the controls just right was really cool. For me, health would just go down so quickly... :') Overall solid, with good visuals and music too. Good work!

Pretty challenging, but once I learned to steer properly, I found it pretty fun ^^ The music and art added a lot and I wanted to play more ^^

Nice intuitive gameplay, but difficulty level is very high for me: just two touches of the rocks kills you(

This game fits the theme and the graphics and audio are very good. It's a harder game at first, but with patience you can survive a long time. Overall, it's a good game.

Good take on the theme, but like everyone else says it starts off too difficult. The space between obstacles seems too small most of the time and there's no way for the player to avoid hitting walls. Having like... a shooting or laser mechanic to get rid of obstacles would be cool. Overall though the game looks good and has some nice audio. Good work!

Really fantastic, feels very close to a completed product in every aspect. Graphic, Music, Control, everything is good. Unfortunately, I don't often play this type of game, so the farthest I could reach was meet the "the guided missiles". I saw screenshots of scenes that I haven't encountered yet, sad. Overall, great job!

Gameplay is very smooth. Music, art, physics of movement and physics of enemies is awesome. Ship is very pleasant to control. For me, there is only one problem - it is how hard the game is. I was able to reach pink cells with straws and giant pink ships. But I don't understand where is finish. - I'd suggest adding some "easy" mode with checkpoints (or at least more health) - Adding record not only to the time of completing the level, but to the record of progress (e.g. record: 10 meters or 30%), because not all of us are cybersports players :)

Overall very solid game, but balance seems to be too hardcore (But game is really fantastic)

Great experience, I liked the level of difficulty and that space ship explosion is delightful

Nice game, a bit too hard for my skill, did like that you could dash and I had a shield which meant I could experience the game a little

Nice game.
