Good game, loved the art and soundtrack, took a minute to understand what it was about, would be nice to have the ability to look at the beginning text again, I had to restart the game, goes well with the theme.

Got me very curious about Schnosenfloot...
I like the overall mood/atmosphere. It was fun at first to dodge and defeat enemies while managing drone delivery but by the 3rd level it was pretty easy to stay put at the top and deliver quickly that way. Barely any of the enemies go there. Perhaps an enemy that does some player tracking would force them to move around.

Presentation was top notch in this entry! Graphics were incredible and the sounds fit the mood really well. I think the progression could use some work. Unless I misunderstand the money you can earn is hard capped by the amount of drones, which leads to an easy dodge game after you use all of the drones. However this game was is on the upper echelon of games in this jam so great job!.

I loved the dark cyberpunk-y sea setting. I didn't understand what the drones are for at first, but after rereading the intro text I had much fun. A bit too intense for my left mouse button maybe ;)

Love the darkness mechanic, it added a lot of interesting challenge around how to prioritize player focus.

Loved the dark sea voyage theme. I'd recommend creating a mechanic that makes it difficult to deliver the drones.

Really like the look of this game. It's pretty interesting to manage looking out for enemies and directing drones at the same time.

Nice lighting effects. There's even an aurora in the background! I liked the VFX. The attack animation was a little odd and could have benefitted from some sound and the reward you get vs the cost of upgrades was a little stingy. Plus I always delivered my packages to the first two/three/four islands immediately and then just hung around until the time went down, which was kinda anticlimactic.

I liked how you couldn't direct the drones while seeing what's ahead, cool risk reward, very doom 3.

The music and the artwork deliver a great atmosphere and it was fun to dodge the enemies, although staying at the top puts you out of range from most enemies, diminishing said challenge.

Very pretty game, I especially enjoyed all the neat particle effects. Gameplay wise I'm not sure if I'm missing something. But it felt like the strategy is to just launch all my drones at once and fly them to the first island. After that it was just holding left click over the creatures. Would be great if their was some more decision making, like islands which pay different amount or drones which help you fight.

I enjoyed the game, especially the aesthetics. I really like how the lighting was done and the overall mood for the game is really good. I think maybe there could be some damage upgrades coupled with some enemies with scaling health for some added challenge. Apart from that I'd say it's a really polished entry and you should be proud!
