This kind of game really makes me wish there was a "Gameplay" or "Mechanics" rating because I'd easily give it 5 for that. The movement and shooting feel really precise, snappy, and fun.

Nice little arcade shooter that had me wanting to play again. Good work :)

Thanks for bringing this game to the stream! :) Love the 2D cockpit! This was surprisingly very immersive. I had trouble figuring out how to dodge well, but maybe with a few more goes...

I like visuals and sounds, however, there are some problems with UX of a gameplay. Enemies start attacking almost immediattelly and their attack rate is too high.

I really liked the animations inside the cockpit!

Hey man I love the whole aesthetics the UI is great and I can't wait to see where you take this next, maybe an overheating mechanic would be nice to plan your shots carefully

The movement felt quite good. I only had difficulties dodging. Space is up, is there a possibility to move down aswell?
I found the Skip button in the beginning to be a bit annoying when reading the text.

Overall. Great Game!

Lots of fun and nicely polished.

You can build up quite a bit of speed by facing in the right direction and using all your movement options :)

Wow. The visuals were a surprise for me, somehow it all fits together so very well. The audio complemented the story and the mood, as did the title screen. I got some serious Liu Cixin vibes from this one. Nice job!
