Awesome! Ship controls nicely, good fun too! Might've been worth making it so you could hold the shoot button though, I could get a almost solid line of bullets out with my button mashing powers, although my wrist hurt after :)
Good game, too hard though! :D A Health bar might've been nice :p

The Unity web player wasn't showing up for me. Not sure why. I've been able to play other Unity games just fine.
Using Chrome? I just saw it doesn't load it. I've added a link to load it in a non-wordpress page. Now it should work.
Solid game. Everything works as expected. I was quite surprised that the game wasn't over after the ship thingy :)

Solid entry. Nice work.
That is the best "pew pew" sound. Good controls and good fun. Gotta agree with Darkfrost though, being able to hold down the shoot button would be nice.
I agree with an auto-shoot function. Us older folks hands hurt from playing these games for the last 20+ years. Only got to the runner stage once. Gave up since you restart the game completely. I would change this so it starts the runner level over. The scrolling text was a nice touch. Good job!
For those who find the ship level too hard, i've added a cheat to play runner level without having to fight ships. Just press "V" when on main screen. ;)
nice entry man :)
Can't play on linux :(
This game is insane hard :)
Thanks for the cheat code because without it I would never finished spaceship level.

Meh... It was okay, but nothing special I´m afraid. One hit kill for the ship collisions was too harsh IMHO and the controls were just not responsive enough for the level of difficulty that the game presents.

Nice space shooter! The sound effects were a little abrasive, and it could do with some background music, but otherwise I liked it. Pretty sweet for 48h. :)
This game had me yelling and swearing, and I actually reversed my hands because I was tired from hitting X so many times with my left. But I did keeping saying "okay one more try" which means it was engaging and addicting, which is great. That being said, I'm not sure that adding the shortcut after submission is kosher given the 48 hour time limit. It's not the end of the world, just something to keep in mind.

YEAH I GOT DUAL CANNONS!
This was cool. I liked the old-school sound effects, and shooting enemy bullets instead of dodging. I didn't get very far, but I am horrible at this kind of game.

Oh crap, you're absolutely right, adding features after the game's release is not allowed. My fault. I'm reuploading the game with that cheat commented out. ;)
I will add a link at the bottom of my page for the new version.

I have carpal tunnel now from pressing X so many times... but great game!

Nice shootemup but I thought the explosion effects were too much in contrast with the rest of the graphics.
Great stuff! I played it with the unity player and it worked fine. I really like this entry! :)
I would like more than one life... I spent about 10 minutes on the game and I couldn't get past the first 20 seconds. I can't rate the jetpack part because I couldn't get onto it...
Found the cheat code, but the next part would never load. I'm leaving it unrated for now.
*facepalms* Looks like i commented out the wrong line. :(
Corrected: Now the cheat is NOT working and the runner level loads fine.
If you can't reach the second part while playing because of the high difficulty, rate on what you managed to see. ;)
Oh well, and there's an easier version with that cheat enabled and an autoshoot function at the bottom of the page. But please don't rate that one.
Great Shooter part, but it felt quite thankless to get destroyed by that ship in seconds after beating the first level.
Still, loved the Shooter part, reminded me of the classic Shoot'em ups that I love.

Totally sucks having to restart the WHOLE game when you die in the second part. :C
Still fairly fun though.
Cool - nice little rails shooter. I got killed pretty quick after it switched to platforming, that was a bummer - would be nice to have a few lives maybe, or restart at the beginning of a level. Also my X finger got tired :) Otherwise enjoyed it.
Looks like it has potential, but way too hard!

Awesome game! I loved the mechanics of it. I would also agree with the auto shoot function tho, I like to lay down the law in these games :D

looks like you already updated the game with auto shoot. Thanks!

Good game but too hard for me. :(
The shooting bit was pretty cool, and I didn't think it was too hard myself. The planet bit didn't seem to work properly, though - think I got knocked over, but then could keep playing, and it just seemed to continue endlessly.

Had to open unity webplayer in a new window using your link to get it to work. One death restart seemed pretty harsh, maybe lose a weapon upgrade or something to ease it up a bit?
I like it, but it's crazy hard!

Quite a challenging game. I enjoyed it, although I can understand why others got frustrated.
Also, because you could shoot the enemies bullets, once I got upgraded weapons the difficulty dropped.

Great game. Feels like an arcade classic. It's a bit too hard though! Had to click on the "load unity player on a new window" link to play. Took me a while to get past the spaceship part but enjoyed the trip. Solid entry!
