The simplistic art, the polygonal projectiles, the perspective and the game feel all reminded me of it.\n \nIt played well, felt good. I didn't have a gamepad as recommended but I had no issues on keyboard.\n\nI like to give suggestions in the hopes of helping, so I can say I wish the explosions had a lot more bass to the sound to make them more satisfying. \n\nOther than that, no complaints!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"narve","author_uid":"1009386","time":"2017-12-06T02:13:30Z","epoch":1512526410,"modified":1512526410,"text":"I'm digging the aesthetic.

The gameplay was pretty fun, albeit a little frustrating at times (I played with a controller) though I was improving over time. Maintaining any accuracy felt fairly tough and it felt like the enemies shooting at you wasn't telegraphed as well as it could have been (sometimes it looked like I was nowhere near any projectiles but I was still getting hit rapidly).

The flying and shooting felt great (with a controller, didn't try keyboard), and the aesthetic are nice. The difficulty curve feels good between the three first level (didn't get any further). The one major issue with the game is that the hitboxes of either the shots or the player are too big.

I had some trouble at first with flying, but sort of started to get the hang of it.  Felt a bit far too floaty, so I couldn't really rely on my ability to fly as much as I would have liked to.  \n\nEverything looked pretty cool, and actually decently polished, but I couldn't see how it really fit the theme.  The number of enemies seemed more like it was predetermined based on the level, rather than anything else?

Thanks for that!\n\nSo, anyways, the game works just fine and maneuvering the ship feels just right. Aiming is a bit hard though, and those enemies made up of 4 pyramids were the worst. They were nigh impossible to dodge, which was a major disappointment. But the rest felt nice and responsive, which made up for the shortcomings of the entry.\n\nOnce again, great work!
