This was so much fun. Nice work!

Thanks so much! It means a lot <3

great game bro. nice visuals and artdirection, good controls. keep on developing. also great TV Style Hud

Thank you!! Im glad you liked the visuals :D

Really enjoyed playing this. My main criticism is add a replay button after you die so you don't need to go back to the main menu. I also agree with the commenter below that adding upgrades would be cool.  Also expanding to more enemy types and maybe a boss or something at some point would also be interesting.

The visual style is awesome and love your tv transition effect. Great Job!

Thank you for the feedback! Having more (and smarter) enemies was definitely planned but didn't work out. I was also wanting to add a cosmetic shop, but didn't consider upgrades. I'll definitely add a replay button in my next update!

Thank you for the feedback and kind words!! 

100% Recoment to try this Game!

The Visuals look amazing, the Feeling of the game is great, and the Tutorial is absolutly helpful! It feels complete, the music is fantastic and the GameMechanics work splendit! 

If I would extend on this Concept I would add some upgrades, like: faster acceleration, Bigger Shield, A radius to collect the ScorePoints , but you have to pay with those points.

Maybe and upgrade cycle like in Vampire Surviors. But  not with those items just Upgrades to your ship! 


Amazing submission!

Thank you!! The music was by Rusted Music Studio on itch.io, check them out if you'd like!

Very cool game ! The game is supersmooth, and easy to play. I love the TV effect, reminds me when i was a younger playing in arcade bars in the 80s/90s ( yeah, i'm that old... ). The music fits very well. My son is getting crazy on it right now, by the way... Good job ! 

Thanks so much for playing and having your son try it out too! It means a lot! I was really trying to get the 80s arcade machine feel with the effects!

Yes, it reminds me games like asteroids from the late 70s. Very cool game. Congrat. I wish you success.

Thank you <3
