not a web link, just a link to the itch page, please update.

nice graphics, good, consistent art style! i like the gameplay, simple but effective.

i think honestly you overjuiced your game, suuuch a busy scene with a lot going on, and the sfx and music didn't seem to fit.

hm. Have the both feelings: the sweety graphics and effects from one side, whicn give to player nice game feelings!
from other side a hard to play and get more fun from game-hardness. Need a little balance the game scene!
Anyway, ive got a nice emotions and the nice entry at all!

good job ;)

Thanks for all suggestions and comments! Is our 2nd game jam ever and 1st LD so we had some struggles :) but it was fun.

Thanks for the feedback folks! :) I've updated the Web player link accordingly.

This is our 2nd game jam game and we wanted to keep the scope of the game small but juiced up. The end result is a bit chaotic, but that's also how we sort of wanted it to be; a simple shooter with Ivdza's sweet graphics and flashy things happening on the screen. Overall we're satisfied with the game itself taking in consideration how late we started the jam (Saturday late afternoon) and the fact that I had to go to work on Monday between jamming :)

Nice one! Harder than it looks at first. Maybe the fast asteroids are a little too hard to avoid. Cool graphics.

I really like your Graphics and the overall idea is good. But to join some of the former comments, I found it pretty hard to avoid some of the astroids making it a very hard game.
Also I could not hear any music. I was playing the Web version. Don't know, if I'm the only one with this problem.

But all in all good job!

I think it's a bit hard to combine the 2 ships since it are currently just 2 different objectives that you have to do at the same time (shoot meteors, collect food) and they don't interact THAT much with each other. I feel that from a gamedesign perspective, more interesting stuff could have been done with the shipshifting

The Graphics look good, and the sound is nice!

Nice space food! I imagine it's all they have there kkkk Graphics and audio are nice! It gets repetitive after a while though, since it doesn't seem to have a progression. Also some meteors seem to be too fast to dodge. Anyways great work!
