It's incredibly satisfying to see the increasing lights around the fireflies, and the light and shadow effects are beautiful. Besides that, it's clear that the sound effects and artwork are well-designed; I really love this style. However, would it be better if the lights were launched each time the spacebar is pressed? Also, once the movement speed increases, it really gets dizzying, haha!","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1082026,"author_name":"Sviborg","author_uid":"sviborg","epoch":1728294039,"text":"I got a little seasick.

I do have a few suggestions:\n\n- It took me some time to realize that shooting is done by holding the spacebar lol\n- I experience motion sickness and continued play made me feel uncomfortable, unfortunately. I think this might be due to the unique movement trajectory of the spaceship and maybe some workaround here could help, but the camera view is indeed bespoke and unique\n- I really like the sound effects! The audio and visuals work well together.
