I like the direction you took with the theme; it’s a pretty humorous twist on the word “ unstable.” The game controls just fine; however, I personally found it difficult to navigate through the waves of bullets without taking damage. Even so, there are some good patterns, especially at the boss.
It looks great, and the intro is absolutely wonderful ^^
I like 2.5 d shmups too!
Gameplay wise, it felt very 'euroshmup', basic ennemies are very bullet spongy, instead of popcorn ;)
Also, there are ennemies that sweep with bullets back and forth from left to right, that are impossible to navigate through; you end up on the side of the screen and doing left rights just to progressively make damage, it doesn't feel very danmaku?
Euroshmup could be a choice.
This was really cool! I really like the presentation and the spin on the theme made me chuckle
This was a crazy ride, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Awesome job!
This is probably the funniest take on the theme I’ve seen so far, LOL!
The game’s pretty fun to play, and I really enjoyed the healing mechanic.
Unfortunately I gave up at the boss because some patterns felt really unfair, plus my game started lagging really bad when something started shooting a spiral from the center of the screen ^^’!
Even so, it was an enjoyable experience, great job!
HAha very creative use of the theme :) Really fun to play too
Great work! Love all the enemies and variations lol!
#Can't go wrong with bloom
what a Space Opera should be, pure cinema lol, fun gameplay awesome fx, very well done :)
The VFXs were satisfying and the intro was amazing and hilarious. I didn't manage to beat the boss as it felt like sometimes there is no path to avoid all bullets and you aren't given a break to heal. Even so I had fun playing it!
The boss is a little harder then I would have liked for sure and there is one attack that is unavoidable, I don't know why I left it in. but it is possible to survive indefinitely. Good feedback, glad you enjoyed it despite that
Crazy, every aspect of the game is done well with the addition of great humor
OPERATION UN-STABLE COMPLETE The stats say 35 deaths, but I restarted at some point and would say twice that amount.
Besides the objective best use of the theme, the game is also a very fun shmup. The controls feel good, the speeds of things feel right and shooting, the feedback for destroying ships and the rise in power are satisfying. The patterns of the boss are very fun ones to dodge too. The difficulty was perfect for my taste.
Pretty fun one!
Made me laugh!
The most unexpected plot twist of the century !
Haha whith the starting text scroll and overall serious tone i did not see that coming and it is an absolute genius take on the theme, and i felt really dumb once i realised the ship’s design on the main menu foreshadows it XD
Also some really good camera work for the intro cinematic :o
So i’m not gonna take this into acount when rating cause it’s not your fault,
but i’ve had a bit of a weird experience with the game : i’ve got an old rig so i had to run the game with the opengl3 command thing, no big deal i thought at worse i wasn’t gonna have some of the fancy effects render properly, but this had the most unexpected and wierd side effect ever…
i had the space background fully inverted O_o space was white and stars were black, this made it difficult to see my shots. So just in case other people have to run it in legacy render, apparently this happens XD
Other than that wild shenanigan, the game is good and plays well, lots of enemy variety, just needs a bit more powerups cause the default shot doesn’t do much once there are a lot more foes to clear.
Overall Cool game :)
Really happy to hear the intro landed lol.
It's good you were able to at least play it. Maybe after the jam I can release a proper opengl version that looks closer to what it should. Thanks for the feedback
No problem, jams be jams shenanigans are bound to happen :p
Theme 5/5!
Honestly this was fun. Really enjoyed it. Felt great everytime my fire rate increased
It was the first thing that came into my head and for better or for worse I stuck to it. Happy to hear you liked it
The intro was... unexpected. And amazing. The gameplay was smooth and fun, standard bullet hell mechanics but executed perfectly. Incredible job!
Thanks! glad you liked the intro lol
