Really fun game! The design fits the theme for sure (fits the theme of the season too!) and it was certainly well-executed. Enjoyed how the intensity of the music increased with each trial. I agree with others in that a collective timer could be a useful way to up the urgency for the player. Overall a very clever, thorough idea, and the sound effects made me smile :)
Great work! Controls are really smooth and the 'reset' mechanic fits really well with the theme. Really like the graphics as well - the moving layers in the background along with the flashing lights really add to the chaotic feeling of controlling multiple characters at once. My only issue is that I'd sometimes die and restart a level before even knowing what happened. Overall really impressive game!
Really unique and effective way of storytelling! I thought the music and visuals complemented each other well, and the shader effects certainly add to the surreal-ness of the world. Definitely different from any other jam game I've played- kudos to you both!
Great work! The music escalating as the timer counts down really adds to the unsettling and urgent mood. Really liked the 3D graphics as well as the audio. Escaped after 7 loops!
Really interesting concept! I enjoyed the pixel-art and simple yet effective (looping?) theme - these complemented the mechanics well. Like others I found the game to be difficult; perhaps more UI or distinct graphics/audio for the different operations would make it a bit more intuitive. Also I sometimes ran into the issue where the game would not restart upon death. Overall I would say a very solid foundation for a fun game jam game. Great job!
Really well done- the game is deceptively difficult! The graphics, music, animations, and sound effects were super polished and integrated together very smoothly. Can definitely see potential for different game modes, levels, etc. It would be interesting if more distractors were introduced to add variety to the gameplay. Overall great work!
Really enjoyed this game! The boomerang mechanic is really creative and works very well with the theme, and I enjoyed the challenges each level brought, especially the ones with fire. Overall awesome job!
Great work! The controls are intuitive and the asteroid visual/sound effects make the game rewarding to play (highscore was 29450)! I noticed that whenever I found myself with a full shield I could just face downwards and deflect all incoming projectiles without moving for a good while; allowing asteroids to come from all directions could prevent this camping strategy. Overall nicely done!
