Escape from Sector 12

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the games from the GM48, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/K_L2zq0zxbg

This seems really good. The movement feels pretty smooth and it's cool watching big chains of explosions. Unfortunately, it's a bit too tough for me. It's really easy to run into stuff. Perhaps the view could be widened a little? Regardless, it's still a very nice game.

This is pretty cool, but reaaaally hard to play because of how zoomed in the view is :/

I thought this game was pretty fun. I liked when the "NOOOOOO!" comment popped up when I said the same when I crashed. The sound effects were fine, but this type of game begs to have some intense background music. At first I didn't realize that I was supposed to go into the big glowing orb after I finished blowing up enough circles to meet the goal. The ship seemed a little floaty, but that may just be me because I've never really cared for Asteroid style controls. The explosions were great. Sometimes it was a little hard to outrun the "active" circles chasing you, especially if you're going fast and don't see them coming. The indicator was really well done, and I think the game would have been really frustrating without it.

I really liked the movement, it felt smooth and "spacy" but you slow down fast enough that you have control and can move out of the way quickly, it makes for fun gameplay. (if it were more zoomed out we could really take advantage of this)

If you upload a new version with music and the view zoomed out, I'll play it again

I felt like this would have benefitted a lot from being more zoomed out, as well as having the map restart every time, as eventually it got too easy with buildup. Very fun though!

Kinda fun, but It's hard to navigate. It's frustrating to have a ship that fast when you gotta move very carefully because of those circles coming out of nowhere and that zoom that won't let you predict much. I think a less powerful zoom would help.

I really liked both the controls and the main mechanic, you tied the theme, the score, and the hp with just one thing, and that was pretty cool. Sound effects and art were kinda average but they didn't take much from the experience, the biggest problem is probably the enemies coming out of nowhere when you're going really fast, I'd either fix that with the ability to reverse or by letting the player know when they're near, even before they get on screen.

Very fun to control and feels nicely responsive. setting off a big explosion feels good, also setting up the perfect shot was a good use of the theme. You already addressed it, but the view could be a bit larger, because I have a need to go super fast ha.

Lots of blinking colors and big explosions, I like it.

I played the HTML5 version and would like to have a bigger window to play.

Nice, smooth controls. I might have preferred the view zoomed out a bit as it was hard to know what was ahead of you once you gained some speed. When it told me to find the "green" charge, the first thing I did was fly into a green circle, which killed me. I'd suggest either showing specifically what the "green charge" looks like, or not having green circles as an enemy. Also, for a full-screen game, it is nice to have a quit button or key.

The best part of this game was controlling the ship! It was just plain fun!
