    Music, asthetics, all the little flavour text in the upgrade descriptions and (especially) in the rerolls :P, that’s why I love Pixeljam ever since Dino Run. It’s the small details that add up and through your imagination make a bunch of vauge shapes and pixels into worlds that feel… believable, from a lack of a better word.

      Can’t wait for Dino Run 2 to come out in 2030!

    This game has some pretty good potential.
    But it mainly needs to clean up the readability of fonts. Maybe a bit less glow and/or bolder fonts

    • @robinkesterlives

      It has settings to turn down the gain and detail (which is the chaos around the letters). It also has a slew of "looks" that clean it up as well. I've changed everything there to make it more readable for me at least.

      The glow is part of the old vector arcade look it just is a thing but a little less glow is in the settings I personally love it but that’s just me

      @@robinkesterlives Even if you keep gain and detail high, just switching the "style" to the "ultrafine" one makes everything really readable without sacrificing the aesthetics.

    Adding galaga style enemies to a missle command base with roguelike elements is brilliant! I'd be terrible at this, entertaining to watch tho!

    I love Missile Command, used to play it in the arcade as a kid and really liked that trackball control. The home conversions were generally good too, even the 2600 version was decent, and then we had some solid clones like Atlantis. I had to pick this up, it looks amazing.

    Missile command. Now that's a nostalgia game. Played that a ton when I was a kid on my Atari 2600 in two player mode with my dad. We actually managed to cycled the score on that game back to 0 a few times.

    In the main menu there is a list of things that add progress to your upgrade bar, you can shape your gameplay around it if u you want.
    I know there was a strat in the demo where you let your shield break early and get big juicy upgrade progress in the beginig for surviving a day witgout a shield

    Line art/vector style graphics also reminds me of the old Vectrex game console.

      I completely get what they're saying. The game's visuals are very captivating and flashy without hurting your eyes. I would even say someone could think a game has mesmerizing visuals without even thinking they're technically good. It is a different thing.
