Cool take on the theme! I found the art really well made and the gameplay offered good feedback! Great job
Thanks :D
Nice name play! Liked the contrast of weapons - would like in game instructions. Cool concept!
Thanks for the feedback - in game instructions def make sense to add. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Super interesting mechanic, both weapons have their upsides and downsides.
I'd include the main idea of the game within it and not just in the instruction below, but that's just a side note.
Was fun and challenging, not as easy as it looks! well done :)
In-game instructions definitely makes a ton of sense! Glad you liked it ^^
Interesting that the controls can be swapped, with mouse and keyboard changing responsibilities. I like space shooters, and this one's no exception. I could see myself playing it more if there's different enemy types added, upgrades made available... Great effort for the jam, I had fun playing it!
More enemy + weapon types would be great, thanks for the suggestions!
This was fun. At first, I didn't use the swapped controls at all, but ended up using them more and more as I got used to it. Great job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it ^^
Really cool! The movement took a second to get familiar with, but I loved the change-up in controls, switch at the right time was satisfying, great stuff!
The weapon switching being also connected to switching your controls is great! i love how you also have to switch the way you think, so your brain's wiring is also integrated into the theme. good job!
Great observation :D Thanks for playing!
Great game. the music is really good, the game loop is simple and yet really fun. unfortunately I didn't realize you could switch controlls on my first playtrough, but maybe thats my own fault since I didn't read the discription. I did however get a score of 3770. also its a really nice touch that every time you play you get a different weapon for mouse and key.
great game. keep it up♥
Glad you liked the music ^^ And yep, pointing out the switching mechanic in-game is a great idea, thanks!
Wow!! I am in love with this concept! I didn't even know you could move via mouse lol It's absolutely brain-bending, love it
Awesome art style and music, the game play is really nice too, though I can't play again at the end. Good game overall.
Yeah, we weren't able to fix the play again button in time :( Glad you enjoyed the game though!
Nice idea! It’s a very interesting role reversal. Really liked the artwork and music as well.
It took a little bit to get use to the controls but once I did it was fun. Also the artwork and music are great. Despite a few bugs its overall a great game
I didn’t realize what was role reversing about this at first, but once I did I didn’t want to go back to the default control setup :) I like the balance between range and AOE.
When I died, the “play again” button doesn’t work though and I’m stuck on that screen
Yeah unfortunately the UI bug had come up right before we uploaded and the deadline was approaching too quickly to fix it, so we'll have to fix it after the rating period ends. Thanks so much for playing our game though! And for enjoying the balancing decisions the team made :)
We had an idea like this while brainstorming. Nice work
Thanks! Had a ton of fun playing your game too :D
Mouse supremacy 10/10
Clean game that is too hard, my monkey brain would just run into enemies every single time I switched controls. 10/5
Heheh, we kept running into enemies at the start as well, so we added a brief invincibility window when you switch controls :D Glad you enjoyed the game!
pretty good game, it feels good to use that short-range spread attack
That's my favorite one too ^^
Mouse is best boy. Great little game!
Fun game! Nice movement of the little ufos adds an extra challenge
Glad you liked the AI behavior :D
A few bugs but overall good game!
