Great job with this! I really enjoyed it, and I'm going to replay it because I'm not satisfied with surviving only 4 waves.

Very nice , amazing job ☺️

good game with good visuals, but rotation feels too slow and the excessive motion blur is kinda making me sick

Very charming, nice polish, the screen effect really sells the atmosphere. The camera lookahead could be toned down a little bit. Also a lot of replayability for a game jam game. Great job!

Cool variation of a shmup. The different objectives are quite inspired.

Nice entry and great job! :smile:

well you said hardcore is hard so i had to try it. was a fun game. a little repetitive, and the powerups were kind of unnoticed. i wished they would have more impact. but very addictive game. i need to resist the urge to fire it up again

Made it to Wave 15 before it felt stale. I wish there would be more power-ups and enemy types. With that said, there are a lot of things I love about this - the perspective, the graphics, the sounds/music and the fact that each wave has a different objective. Oh, and it was really awesome to see the swarm growing into this big organic unit that was too big to destroy and always eventually came creeping up on you when you were doing an objective. Great job!

My head is spinning after a playing session, but it was fun! Maybe a bit too much vfx, but I enjoyed the game and find it stylish and well put together!

Wonderful game! I would like to increase the rotation speed

Great game - definitely really got into it. I really liked the different missions and the music absolutely slaps. I dig the art style but I definitely got slight motion sickness after about Wave 10. I can see this game being more fleshed out with the addition of upgrades and ramping difficulty. Congrats on the solid submission!

I love it despite of motion sickness. Is it a flat scene with a lens effect on a camera? Love the graphics and the game play is fun.

Really impressed with ur game, especially you did all alone. The visuals are really polished and it's fun to play. :rocket:

fun game, fun visual style, motion blur was a bit much

The motion sickness issue doesn't do the game much favors. I do like the various objectives though.

Very wild visual style, like you're looking into a little bubble world with a terrible scope to pilot a nano machine. We must purge this specific raindrop of alien bacteria! The smearing colors were a little too strong and the player felt very sluggish, even boosting, but the presentation is just so, so slick here. I got to stage 9 on normal on my longest run, but the hack objectives forcing me to stop shooting were very difficult since you can't effectively outrun the swarm and you can't shoot them.

Made it to wave 10 The variety of objectives was cool, and I wish there were more enemies and weapons to play around with. The movement and graphics was sick and probably my favorite part! Very trippy and the play with the visuals, the bending the zooming in/out was very impressive!

I do love the gameplay in this

nickhellquist 2024-10-13 23:11

Looks really cool and plays well! Would have loved some death animations for the enemies though to make it even more satisfying hitting the shots. Overall a very cool game :)
