How can I progress to different levels? Is it based on timer or do I have to do something else?

Simple and neat, with a scope that works well in the 48h timeframe. Enjoyed my time with it, good job!

Nice game. I think player character with less speed would be better. Other than that it's a good game, especially I liked musics a lot.

After 1048 seconds, dying on jungle world 3 was more a gift than a punishment. This game is SUPER hard. The hardest part is staying focused for so long. I feel exhausted after focusing on this little grey character spinning on a giant grey map. Please bring up the contrast of everything. It's already hard enough to escape getting hit, but my eyes were really tired just tracking my own body. Why do the levels have to be so long too? I guess if I was better, it would have been ok to complete this game in about 10 minutes. But the loop of shooting, scooting, rinse and repeat got old, and then the actual game became how long can I focus without blinking. I really liked the control scheme of slow shots with one mouse button and faster movement with wide shots with another. It was interesting and the enemy design was cool. I just wish I had a chance of playing this to the end with shorter levels. Thank you for the game.

@ubershmekel Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the bad experience. Before upload the game, I only test by myself and design it as I like. Actually the game is too long for play in a casual way. I will fix it and post the full version after the rate.

Fun! What's unique is I've never played a top down airplane shoot 'em up where the plane is controlled by the mouse.

It was not clear to me what is the goal of the game. Do I have to last a certain amount of time or do I accumulating points? I think spending 1 extra day on it and enter in the Jam would have a benefit. I saw there is another lever or something, so not sure, but I haven't feel the theme in this one.

@rawbits Thanks for your feedback, Actually it is, I haven't have many time on this game bc of the school stuff, it is why I chose the Combo.And in the other way, The theme is hard for me to think a better idea of this game, so sorry about this.

This game is brutally hard. I couldn't make it past level one in the first area. It would definitely help if the player went a tad slower and there were less enemies near the beginning. The music was a banger though and the art was cool!

This is actually pretty fun. I think progression is very slow (it's hard to tell you're making progress at all), making it drag out quite a bit, but it's an easy to understand and effective shooter.

Perhaps displaying what is still needed to progress would help focus the player's attention a bit, too. "oh only X more enemies to the next level, alright".
