This was fun to play!

I love the art style, very minimalist yet evocative. It reminds me of Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Some feedback on what tripped me up: Shooting lasers takes too long. I found it frustrating to wait for the lasers to come out of the ship. It is hard to shoot precisely when I need to account for that kind of delay.

Initially, it was unclear to me that I could not shoot the little stones.

Your sound effects and music are very arcade-like, which imo does not fit the visual art style. I would have leaned into the theme of someone sketching out the scenario on paper more strongly here, for example:

  • human-made fake “pew pew” or explosion sounds
  • a pen scratching on paper to respawn the ship
