Great twist on a classic concept and I really enjoyed the humor, well done.

A fun challenge but I'm likely just slow cause each time my eyes would finally go to where my ship was it already shifted. I tried to not focus on the ship but it made dodging harder so... I had a bit of fun, but I don't think I can play this for too long as the sudden shifts would start affecting my vision after a time ^^

Hey the game is really cool but its wayyyy too long. I'm sad I wasn't patient enough to finish it.
Anyway the concept is cool and it felt great. gg

@sagiii The lifetime of the game is meant to be 1010101010 seconds in binary :p But we agree, it's difficult to hang on until the end, we did it for the joke :)

I really had fun with the writing. That's what makes the game shine! And to answer the question: I indeed didn't have time to read the long, long piece of text :laughing:

Presenting the life in binary is a very nice touch. And thanks for all the extra lives!

Really cool. I mean, the concept is simple but the shooter part is very well executed, the shoot have oompf the control are cool and you have a little shield when you warp to not warp into projectile. The twists (taking the theme to binary and the indestructible ship) are both interestings. The binary life makes for a great health bar also. The humour could be better at some part but really funny at other :D
No I really liked it, good job!

I finished the prompts so I will tell myself that I finished the game, which means I was so captivated by the dialogues that I played it for a looong time: well played. The dry humor works really well, and there was more than one moment where I chuckled, laughed even. Sincerely funny.

Very addictive! I had much fun playing. Controls felt smooth, art looked nice and showing the score in binary core was a cool additional gimmick here. All in all a cool game!

Very fun! I think I got to the end :smile: Music and Audio is nice and I really loved the dialogue, especailly whenever you "died" and he just manages to always find a random life for you. I think there could be more cool mechanics and levels, but overall it was an enjoyable game, the funny dialogue realy makes it.

I liked the shooting gameplay, the mechanic of switching back and forth was pretty fun, but sometimes I felt like I was taking hits without really being able to avoid them since there was no indication of when gameplay would switch. The points where the captain was speaking were fun, but they also got in the way of gameplay because it switched so abruptly. Overall, good game, but I wish the cutscenes didn't get in the way so much.

The style of the graphics is really nice and the audio/music is good and not too repetitive.
