Looked great! But after several minutes of sailing around I didn't encounter a single alien..

It looked very nice, but it was hard to find any aliens to shot.

Nice bonus! :)

Beautiful game with a great idea but just not enough to shoot at.

Down with aliens! Oh, where are they? I did get a few though which was fun. Maybe up the spawn rate.
Massive props for attention to detail, both red & blue shifted stars, nice touch.

nice concept

you should hide the mouse pointer when using your own one - also some sort of upscaling wouldn't hurt since the game is quite small (especially on high-res monitors)

I'm OK with Orni suggestions. You could add more aliens, or use a tinier planet. The SFX are well chosen by the way.

Nice work. I wish the boat moved just a bit faster and that I could use the WASD keys to move. Again though, nice job!

funny idea but not fun, there are not enough aliens and they don't shoot the ship

I can see the credits and the awesome bonus but I click play and I hear a sound but nothing happens. I'm on a mac.

oye-beto 2012-04-26 15:55

Nevermind ...I think this computer doesn't have flash player. (it's a school computer)

Nice art style. Would love to see a finished version.

Sadly it wouldn't work when I clicked play. Happily bonus worked so I still had a bit of fun. I'll try on my laptop and then get you a rating in because this looks really cool :)

Nice look, well drawn fx. About the only issue was the lack of things to shoot at and no real goal (that I could see)

- Graphics are good, I liked the color selection.
- I played for a minute and didn't find a single enemy. I refreshed, killed an enemy and then nothing else appeared :P
I think it's a bug but it's not fun this way.
- I suggest adding WASD to the controls.
