We are looking forward to correct this.
EDIT: Issue corrected :D
I liked that you included some additional mechanics with the time stop and acc mechanic.
I think they could have felt better if you just had to press once instead of holding the button while also increasing the recharge rate.
Some nice details with the teleportation ?cubes and lava spouts. As @bram-ve above mentions the double jumping was fun but would muck me up. It would be good to find a way to make the double jump more useful so you were rewarded for it instead of punished (maybe bonuses that appear in a static position for limited time that you can only get to by double jumping).
I thing the game could potentially be a lot more fun by fine tuning the mechanics a little. I feel like you need to be able to move faster and for there to be less possible positions you can be in (if that makes sense), so you can build that sense of flow where the player is only just able to keep up with the speed of the game. With your ship and the asteroids so small and the speed it currently moves at you can't get from place to place in a snappy enough way for it to have a nice arcade feel. Maybe that's not what you were going for but it feels like that style of game to me.
Overall great work and very solid all around, congratulations!
It's easy to play but Grall Axy requieres some concentration beacause in one momento you can forget the commands a lose some seconds. Nice entry.
I think some context to the High Score to let me know how badly I sucked or how well I did. SSS/A/B/C/D/F/FFF scores are super useful for helping people know how they're doing. Solid game.
I had fun, thanks for making it.
Thanks for making such a nice game. There are a few issues with the scaling, overlay, etc. although your game is consistent and funny to play - so good luck
Overall very good job :slight_smile:
Good job!
