Great little demo! Especially for your first attempt at making something, I think it's great that you kept it simple and you're able to deliver an interesting challenge nonetheless.
I couldn't get past the third level - looks like the energy drains at an uncontrollable rate? I don't know if it's a bug or not.
Otherwise I think the gameplay is super solid and what would be amazing to add to the experience is a ton of Juice. Do you know what Juice is? If not, we have a whole video about it on the MakeGamesJLM Youtube channel:
Start adding layers and layers of juice and this could be a masterpiece.
I definitely didn't get it before I wrote the first comment. Was playing as if it was asteroids. Once it clicked I was able to beat the rest of the game. Very cool mechanic! I think you need to better communicate how it works though :)
I know. and I know it's a little bit of a problem to ask for feedback if you know some of the problems. I set a goal to myself to upload before 01/08. I want to put more effort into the visual aspect (and juice!) and try to communicate things more. the third level was supposed to be the 'energy tutorial' but couldn't get it just right. maybe if I will make the energy status less UI-y and more part of the actual look of the player it will help. and maybe the attempt to introduce it just in level 3 is a mistake. wanted to do it gradually but maybe it's confusing.
thanks for your feedback. also, it wouldn't happen without MakeGamesJLM!
