Pretty good, I'm used to a higher mouse sensitivity, so the cap still feeling slow was tragic. But, the theme was incorporated nicely, wasn't a challenge, just for the fun of it. Like the simple art style as well. Keep up your passions.

Cool game, the highlight is definitely the graphics. I love the low poly/unshaded style, and the animations and effects are also pretty good for a LD game! It took me a little while to understand what i needed to do, but when i got it i blasted through it in no time.

The mouse look felt a bit weird, as if i was pulled towards a direction, and did not have complete control.

Overall a fun entry!

The graphics are really appealing and it drew me in to want to play. The canvas scaling looks like its broken (at least for my 2560x1440 monitor):

The jump was a bit too high, sensitivity too low (for me) and the shooting was kind of awkward. But it was a very cute little entry!

@mr-flower thank you so much for playing.

Yes, there should have been 3 levels, my mistake.

Thank you for the feedback. I will try my best to improve ^-^

@drtizzle Thanks so much!

Could you describe the problems with the mouse in more detail? I would appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback and playing

udfblr 2026-04-21 11:24

@william-corrin Thanks so much! :))

I attached the progress bar to the center of the screen, but I didn't test it on free display. My bad, I'll keep growing

Actually an interesting idea to make enemies necessary for your own survival. And jumps are funny. Thank 😄

udfblr 2026-04-21 13:12

@podrez Thanks for playing!

I beat the game, I enjoyed it. I like the start menu and how the ending sequence leads back in to another playthrough. It's creative, good job.

udfblr 2026-04-21 14:24

@chomby Start menu and ending took half the development time :(

Thanks for noting this!

Very juicy VFX! Still, the game itself is lacking. Dunno what I did wrong, but it counted a loss even though I collected the necessary (?) data. Screenshot 2026-04-21 182807.png

no-firing 2026-04-21 15:39

wow - what a game!

udfblr 2026-04-21 15:42

@ii-p Yep, you've collected more data than necessary. My mistake.

bugs...

It was fun to shoot some aliens. But what the thing about signals? I don't understand.

allexeee 2026-04-21 16:52

It was hard for me to understand what was going on. But in the end, after several attempts, I still passed the game.

strainer 2026-04-21 17:02

i like it but kinda hard to understand whats going on also its just shootin stuff also nice stylization of the game

udfblr 2026-04-21 17:35

@pavel-goncharov Ok! Thank you for playing!

udfblr 2026-04-21 17:38

@allexeee @strainer Thank you so much! It's great to see you at the end!

dywanix 2026-04-21 17:58

really fun game!

drainkid 2026-04-21 21:51

As others have said, the graphics are definitely the best part, but I was interested in the gameplay of downloading enemy signals & blasting them and wanted to see more!

steinhks 2026-04-22 00:01

really cool graphic style!

udfblr 2026-04-22 04:38

@dywanix @drainkid @steinhks Thank you so much for playing the game guys!

At first I didn't understand what to do and just went on a rampage =) Special shoutout to the rocket's art style — I don't know why, but it gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

udfblr 2026-04-22 06:29

@avhatar Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind. It might have been a mistake to use the radio during the game

idos 2026-04-22 12:20

Dude, I really like the visuals, the colors are well chosen and it's done quite cleanly, I found you on ХК Discord

udfblr 2026-04-22 14:12

@idos Thank you so much! :3

skale 2026-04-22 16:56

This game had potential. The pixelated graphics in the post-jam update look great, and the shooting effects and feel are amazing (amaze amaze amaze). The idea and visuals are definitely the solid parts of the game. I feel like the gameplay loop lacks something, but maybe that's just me. Overall, you did a great job! Statement.

udfblr 2026-04-22 17:35

@skale Thank you so much for the warm feedback! I'm glad I got to play the update! :))

toshiy 2026-04-22 18:52

Soooo attractive and addictive

krakadushka 2026-04-22 19:37

Really cool game! I love the idea of placing a 3D world into a 2D camera. I’ve always wondered how that could be used in a meaningful way—your game answers that perfectly! :thumbsup:

On my first playthrough, I killed everyone and lost. I think it would be better if your teammate said something like, “Don’t kill them, or you won’t get the data!”

The ending killed me! :smile_cat: Hilarious!

Really fun to play. Great game!

steveofstevesgames 2026-04-22 20:09

That was fun. didnt realise i had to charge the thing and just killed everything the first time. When he went to the other part of the plannet and it wasnt another level i was a little dissapointed, even though i read there was only one level before i played.

udfblr 2026-04-23 04:49

@steveofstevesgames Yes, I didn't have time to add levels during the compo. Thank you so much for playing!

udfblr 2026-04-23 04:49

@krakadushka Thanks for the detailed review!
