Simple but efficient! Not really getting the depth vibe tho

very cute, with a bit more feel and level design it can be a really nice little game! great job and good luck!

I like the simple visuels. The gameplay is pretty fun. It could perhaps have used a bit more gameplay, but it's okay for a compo game. Overall a fine little jam game. Well done.

The nostalgic scene is impressive, and I love that.

I found that I can gain high scores if I fall as slowly as possible and try my best to keep balance.

Nice take on the asteroids game. The graphics and mood are great and would have been even better with some chill sound, would have played for hours if it had a nice moody music. Nice entry overall, looks good. 1000 high score. yey. But got into a bug one run when the score froze at 3 m after a collision.

Nice graphics and efficient controls. Matching the theme. There are not enough sounds, or there are none

I accidentally flew up for a couple minutes instead of down :p. Looks good though. Got blown up by a very narrow corridor, don't think I could've possibly fit in it. Oh well.

A bit complex game for me, but visuals are good! Well played.. Oops. Well developed! :)

I liked it! I usually enjoy this type of control, but the ship turns a bit too slowly for my taste, so after a while the game started to feel a bit repetitive. Still, it’s a solid base with good potential. Also, put me in the group of people who flew up for a while before realizing I had to go down — it was actually my daughter who pointed it out. I probably wouldn’t have figured it out on my own 😆

I liked the scan line and retro vector art aesthetic!

I think since the gameplay and graphics are very simple, some 8-bit style sfx would have gone a long way too.

Very nice little challenging game! Something around 4000 was my high score 👀

Started going up and wondered why the meters wasnt increasing 🤦 Some of the geometry doesnt seem to line up, but its a really solid game regardless
