The ship's hitbox seems to be too small, making game unnecessary hard. You need to be frame-precsise to catch an orb sometimes, that's really too much.
Nice job overall, it feels solid and completed.
* The spaceship movements are good, even though I would have like it to b a bit slower accelerating because getting the orb just next to you requires huge skills haha
* The idea is pretty fun, simple and efficient, well done here
* The idea of getting a serie is good, challegning. But if you die getting too long on the bottom edge, maybe having a counter of all the orbs we got this run from last death would have been a bit "rewarding", because once the challenge of huge serie is gone there is nothing more, whereas I like the challenge "the longest survival" haha
* Sounds are really good, excellent atmosphere felt here, it may lack of a music with some beats to get the speed / hurry idea :)
Thanks a lot, this is a good entry IMO; I enjoyed and this is the most important ! :clap:
@shawn-beck Haha, thanks! It is small, I wanted to do it challenging. I'm glad that you like it :)
@vegevan Thank you so much for such a great feedback. The score was a total amount, but based on some friend's feedback I changed it to "best sequence", probably both metrics are the key. Thanks, mate! :)
**Overall game impression:** Took me a moment to realize what to do, but once I got a hang of it, this game took me in for a long time. It's really fun, interesting, different and pleasant. I always liked games like this and so I sincerely enjoyed this. I spent a good 15 minutes or so playing this. My highest streak is 13 orbs :D who can top that? xD Great entry overall, very pleasant gameplay and audio, responsive controls and fun.
**Suggestions and comments on improvement:** Have different colors for the energy orbs you collect based on sound they make (higher pitch to lower pitch and different color to match each! That'd be really cool. Also on the topic of colors, have the trail change color based on the last one you picked!)
p.s. check out my game as well please.
Love the aestethic. Awesome example of less = more. Very fun to play too, albeit I can only get to 8 before it just gets too fast for me :<
Ambience & SFX are really nicely done too. Great entry!
The spaceship doesn't seem fast enough to allow a player to catch an orb that spawns at the other side of the screen so it becomes quite difficult to get a score in the double digits.
All in all though, a nice minimalist experience!
But the game itself is really calming and I love it !
Audio, graphics,mood, and feel are all top tier. Congrats.
@rootpew Thank you for the feedback. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. But I'm with you, it's not an easy task to pass the 1X mark.
The ship moves a bit too fast for keyboard and it was hard for me to collect more than 6 or 7 orbs at the same time. But it definitely has a lot of potential
Nice work!
@hhsaez Thanks for the feedback! The acc and top speed need some tweaking to find the perfect values, it's in my to-do list :)
@jakylgamer Yeah! Thanks for enjoying it, that's the whole reason to make a game :)
**Concerning** the graphics I’m impressed, so simple design and it felt so good, I knew what to do and the visual feedback was great!
I really liked the thing you did with the sound effects btw.
**Overall** I had an amazing time playing this game, I played for about 10 minutes but I didn't manage to beat the score of 8. Totally addicting, love it!
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future!
Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!
