yes! Lost Vikings! I was kinda thinking of that too as I was working on it

All of the visuals are great! Everything moves and controls nicely. However, I hate to say it but the gameplay was a bit boring. Like, I thought "Surely I'm missing something right?" I found myself waiting around for something to happen, and then when something does appear, I deal with it quickly and then I'm back to waiting. I feel like if the enemies came in greater numbers and/or dashing was your only movement option, it would make the game more engaging. You've got a good foundation with which to build a great bullet hell!
Very nice game! The visuals and audio are great, and the simple controls make it easy to jump right in. My one issue is those darn ice cream cones. Why they take two hits? I feel that makes it feel difficult in an unfair way since usually multiple will come at the same time, and the time it takes for them to hit the planet is barely enough time to hit them twice, and that's on top of all the rest of the enemies. Other than that, good job!
Fundamentally, the concept is very interesting. I know you said you had more mini games planned, so I would really like see the game as intended. I imagine each step down the line would have it's own unique mini game, and maybe have a timer to add some tension to complete the hacking process quickly.
With what you managed to get done though, very good job!
Very good style and mechanics! My biggest issue was with the perspective in certain areas, especially when controlling the little guy with his limited field of vision. Some spots looked like I could walk on to a platform, only to then fall. And that's even with rotating to check every angle. Otherwise, pretty fun!
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback. Yeah that quick reset button would be a good addition. And yeah the object collisions definitely need some fixing.
As for the prices, hearing the feedback from you and others, I’m thinking you’re right about the prices. My thought going into it was that having the prices visible would make it too easy. I think I’ll try changing that after the jam review period is over
