A very well executed classic game with good sounds and music, although there are perhaps too many explosions that obscure the music. I am jealous that I was not able to implement these movement patterns in my airplane game.

This is a solid shmup: lots of things to dodge, lots of enemies, power-ups, and steady ramp-up of the difficulty. I made it to level 11 on my first go. I can’t give this high marks for innovation, but definitely high marks for gameplay and sound.

Woah, this is so fun. I got to level 12. I’ll come back and try to beat it later. Really nicely done!

\n

Just for some nitpicky suggestions, I think the “explosion” sound when an enemy is destroyed is a bit loud? It makes the music and other sound effects a bit hard to hear. Also, I found the font a bit hard to read (even though it is cool and stylized in its own way).

\n

But yeah, really fun game. Awesome job

This game is an absolute banger! I want to play it all day! I loved everything about it.

\n

In the spirit of improvement, having to keep holding the left move button to move is really tiring. I can see how it makes sense in mobile, but on desktop not so much. Either WASD or just listen to mousemove without the click.

I really like this game - it is quite fun. I cleared the game in my first try, but there were a few critical moments, where I was left without shield and probably one hit away - a powerup was always on hand. The thing I’m most impressed is the pixel art - more precisely the colors, in such bullet hell everything is clear and that’s very hard to achieve. Well done!

Great use of music and sound effects. Fit your game nicely, loving the 8-bit graphics. The text is a little hard to read in the smaller font sizes (for example on the home page, I had to read it three times before I read the word “Hints”).

\n

Really fun game! I found myself playing a few different rounds. Nice take on the Galactica game. Would be cool to include a few more elements around the theme; ie. you could have special ships that have the number 13 on them, maybe these are special power ups, or maybe a difficult enemy. The use of click and drag was interesting; I really enjoyed it. Maybe add some keyboard capabilities for further accessibility.

\n

Nice work putting instructions into your GitHub README. Also like how you built on a starter package and mentioned that in your README.

Thats a solid shmup!

\n

Not much to complaint about, i like the pixel-art, and that the bullet-hell is always clear to see and dodge.

\n

Great entry!

Love the game and graphics.

\n

It was great to have the movement tied to the pointer, so it was snappy and quick to avoid the enemy fire.

\n

I got as far as sector 11 where things got a lot trickier.

\n

More of a mobile game that works on desktop than a desktop game, due to portrait screen setup.

Funny game, I could reach the end (level 12 was the hardest I think).\nNice music. It was unusual to use mouse to play such a game instead of keyboard. Dragging made it a bit easier, and we should teleport while clicking too.

Nice little game, though I think it is too easy. I won on first try, and with all those power-ups I had the feeling that levels became rather easier than harder. Also, the pixel font was more or less unreadable for me.

Nice and simple controls, and some challenging gameplay. This really feels like space invaders, but if smart phones were a thing in the 80s.

\n

It was satisfying gathering so many powerups and cutting through so many enemies, but at a certain point if you die, it seems to reset your powerups back to zero. And coming back into the level at that point I was just getting stomped XD\nPerhaps a dynamic that could be a focus of a game like this, where you can get super powerful but are in big trouble if you die and restart your ship.

\n

Great work overall

Nice old school shoot’em up like 1980’s Galaga coin-op.

\n

I liked the game, but mouse control can be difficult if played on a desktop, when the pointer moves away from the play area, the spaceship remains immobile on the edge even if we move to the other side, until the mouse returns inside the play area.

galaxiaaaan, well done game its very nice and brings memories, fits for mobile but can utilize wide screen and make more room, falling enemies hard but not very much to make it too hard. well done on the game and it may fit to be in arcade

The graphics and the sounds capture the retro “home arcade” vibe perfectly. Great to have the story mode, too, good job on that!

\n

Made me want to make a shmup.

I really liked the style and the feeling of the game, also loved that it was easy to continue on a sector after game over. Great Tyrian vibes, too :)
