Great game! One of the best in the jam! Hope there is an update after voting period! :)
Thanks a lot for playing!! We definitely plan to expand this game into a full release.
Pretty amazing how polished this game is but it seems that I'm quite bad at it since I can't even get past the first starship stage. I feel like I do have not enough time to react to the astroids and that dodging using A and D does not really work for me. Good UI and audio design as well!
Thanks for playing! The difficulty curve could definitely have been improved if we had more time, and the floaty controls with A & D were meant to encourage upgrading the rocket thrusters for better boost and handling for dodging.
Really appreciate the feedback!
Very nice game! Is this font free? Where can i buy it?

Really good game, I liked it and was playing for a long time, great idea and execution
Glad you liked it! That's a pretty good score,
I definitely like this game. It's a good synergy of visual, audio and mechanical parts. I even like this red beam that highlights objects, the little details are cool! This game also poses a certain challenge, which adds interest. Big up!
Thanks for playing and providing feedback! Glad you liked the polish and challenge.
This has a lot of potential! I would add more variety with some more enemies and upgrades, also I would definitely zoom out the camera more, right now when you see an asteroid on camera you have got too little time to dodge them, also the controls are a bit janky, A and D don't seem to do much for me, but maybe I just needed more upgrades.
Btw idk if it is known bug, but upgrading your ship resets it (no more missile launcher and propulsion).
I would like to see this developed further!
Thanks for playing and reviewing! We do have 4 enemy types but they're uncommon to see since they spawn in after a few minutes of survival. A & D are really slow, but upgrading rockets does help that significantly.
I agree with you that the camera should get wider as the starship grows.
The upgrade resetting the ship wasn't really a bug, it was more to allow re-imagining the design with a new shape, but we agree, it probably could have saved the existing configuration.
Thanks for your feedback!
this plays amazingly well! an overall great job.
Thanks for the kind words!
Love these styles of games, and this one feels really well-polished.
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats
