This game has a darker vibe XD It is easy to pickup and play, however I wish there was more coloration in the gameplay. Though I did like the retro kind of style you had!

Really like the artstyle and the sharp but simple controls. Also the boost is really fun and the visual changes when you are on 1 health make the game feel like a whole. Keep on working on it and relase it because it is already an awesome game.

It seems old and simple gameplay, but at the same time fascinating. I liked the fact that the pentogram in the middle closes the floor of the screen at one moment because of this, I lost precious lives a couple of times. I was lost in the effect of shaking and contrast when the level became very complicated. More waves to god waves ..

Love the style, scanline arcade, very retro! :D.
Boost feels fun, zipping super far, and screen effects are nice on hits :P.

The graphic, espeacially the effect when you are hurt, is very distinctive. Although the gameplay is a common one.

Very good graphics and effects
This game really needs some music and sound to cement the mood

There is no audio? is that correct? Lovely visual style and striking look. Nice work!
One criticism would be that the border effect makes it feel like I am racing from the edge of a table. Great work overall though.

oh hell yeah! This just needs some dark synthwave music in the background and it's perfect!

Visuals and game feel are on point. Gameplay's rather basic but still really fun.
It's a shame there's no sound, feel like some witch house could really drive (no pun intended) home the vibe. Feel like even some royalty-free track would be better then nothing.

Very nice game ! Graphisms are really good. But where is the music ? :(

The curve of difficulty is not really nice but it was fun when i play at level 10 ;)
