Solid execution overall, but not much fun - sorry. Perhaps I'm just bad at such games. ;)
@ratking.
Thankyou for your comment. I understand what you mean about it not being much fun, but I do feel it is relatively easy to experience flow with the game.
ie, If the player is patient and relaxed, they can pilot the craft slowly and with care, and easily not crash it.
As they gain confidence, they can find pleasure in skillfully piloting their craft at higher speed, and that's when they can get into a 'flow' state. :)
It's not much fun, although it does feel polished and 'finished'. Some work to make a more interesting world, less crashing your ship, and possibly enemies or some other thing which keeps you watchful would have made a huge difference for a minimalistic change.
Can't connect to 2shared.com to download the game. I'll try later and see if I can rate.
I've had that happen to me from time to time... but I like 2shared. I'll upload to mediafire for you in just a mo. :)
I like the aesthetic. Nice entry.
The momentum was pretty unforgiving because rushing is a guarantee crash into the walls but going slow is just boring.
Also needed some kind of audio. There is something neat here but it is buried.
