A pretty fun game to place in an arcade! (Might reserve a lot of coins)
If there was just a disclaimer for photosensitivity though…
Such a fun, polished game! The gameplay is really simple, but all the special effects and incredible audio make it very enjoyable to play. Great job!
Love the game idea and minimalist art! Also being able to replay and continue from the same point when you lose is a really cool feature more games should use!
Quite good! The minimalist look fits pretty well with the gameplay

Fun game. I made it to wave 4 a couple of times.
Game juice overall is quite good, with particle effects, sound effects, and so forth. I really appreciated the variety of power-ups, which change the game in subtle ways.
I wonder whether the camera might be zoomed in a bit too far; I would like to be able to see the threats from a greater distance.
Thanks for playing! You're totally correct that the camera is a little too far in. I did the whole game at 1 resolution and realized later on it should probably be a little bigger but too late at that point, haha.
Very simple but still fun. I actually beat it without using the space bar ability much (is it supposed to take it away from you at some point)?
I like that you just reset to the current wave/boss when you die - most game jam games just reset the whole game so that was nice.
Thank you for playing!
Looks really nice and is fun! one thing is - it doesn't seem like there's ever a reason not to hold space and split the asteroids
Thanks for playing! Haha, yea you're right, there are definitely some balancing issues. I was worried about people completing so I think I might have made it too easy to get powerups.
I felt the same. FUN but why not hold space?
Simple
Really Cool Game, I Love The Simple Graphics That Make The Game Feel Alive, Love That The Game Let's You Restart From The Last Stage, Wave 5 Got Me Laughing Out Loud When I Saw It xD
