Love the sound and the design. Nice entry

@badpinkchicken Thanks a lot, happy you enjoyed it

An interesting idea with changing the size of the signal. In the end, there are a lot of UFOs,one shield must have. Overall good entry

Couldn't quite figure out the dodge mechanics against the aliens - feels like both our hitboxes and enemy hitboxes might be too large, leaving little room for actual evasion.

Sound design is on point though. Solid work! =)

Nice game, good variation of tetris racing sim.

@funbanan Thanks, I'll consider widening the barriers a bit or reducing collision. It's really nice to hear that you like the sounds

Got to the score 687, good theme exploration, wierd controls, but that adds to difficulty, one critique is the boundaries, it would be better to have no boundaries, because it enemies corner you to it sometimes, which feels unfair.

Nice arcade with some upgrade mechanics twist

@phlip45 Thank you, I'm really surprised that someone played more than me

First of all, I really liked the music - for some reason it felt surreal and fit the game perfectly. I’d love to see more enemy types that start appearing after a certain distance. Also, I didn't notice the red boundaries a couple of times and died, which felt frustrating. Maybe teleporting the player to the opposite side of the screen instead of making bounds, like in similar games, could work. It’d give more freedom without overcomplicating things

Nice game

Good sound design.

Sounds are strange, but gameplay is good

caffeinetrip 2025-04-08 15:15

Amazing sound design, and vibe gameplay😈

Simple and good game. I want to note that if you take several shields in a row, they will not stack

Music is funky, I like it. Music is funky, I like it. I found the most efficient tactic is spam 250 points and shield, so its almost impossible to lose :smirk:

It’s missing some random bonuses when picking up planets — kinda feels off that they’re always the same. A bit of variety there would really spice things up!

Good interpretation of the theme, good audio.

The stars in the background are awesome! It was tricky to focus on the graphics because you're trying to avoid the aliens, but I played the game again to take a closer look. The red wall was a bit annoying, but it adds to the tension, so I don't see it as a bad thing. I really enjoyed playing it. Well done, mate👍
