Thank you for the kind responses, folks! Glad you've enjoyed the game. I had a lot of fun making it. (That's probably it for this game – I did try a few different extra mechanics, but I never found anything more fun than just flying around and zooming through gates. 😏)
This game is great. It's polished so well. The music is excellent, the sound effects are really engaging, and it took me a few attempts to get through all 8 waves. The only thing I want is more. More levels, more difficulty, more mechanics. Overall, a great example of how immersive a game with only 2 controls can be. Loved it!
Beautiful!
AWESOME game! Perfect soundtrack and very nice art-style.
But I think you can improve some things though:
1 - The game's dificulty. It's too easy, and only get's a bit harder at the 3 last levels.
2 - You should add more mechanics/types of gates, because 8 levels of the same gameplay is kinda repetitive.
I would love if you could play my game and give me some feedback too! It's called "Touch of Madness":
