Doesn't work in firefox btw

Arrrhggh soo hard! I only killed one after like 4 retries! Cool music. Didn't feel like I had much control of my aim... Great job nonetheless! :D

wuhao 2012-12-17 16:25

the crosshair is not controllable?

spacehunter 2012-12-18 01:31

it is using the arrow keys...it's a little tricky to use

Ugh I wish I had KNOWN that clicking more than once reset your missile ;) overall nice game though.

raincole 2012-12-18 02:07

music is fit, but control is too tricky

jezzamon 2012-12-19 04:26

Dodgy controls make this game unplayable. Also, the music wasn't working on my mac, using chrome.

There can be only 1 bullet at a time.

fishbrain 2012-12-19 13:08

hard!

Yeah the controls are plain horrible, especially to move the cursor horizontally x) And the fact that there can only be one bullet at the same time is another weird difficulty added on top of that.

The graphics looks quite good, unfortunately the gameplay itself is insanely difficult and not really fun.

Ah, glad it's just not me who wondered if the arrow keys were working. Nice idea for the game though.

snutt 2012-12-21 14:59

The controls are too irresponsive! It's a cool concept though!

william_edwards 2012-12-21 21:42

Promising graphics, and it steers like a death star on death star too!

oxyoxspring 2012-12-22 00:48

The control is so tricky. xD

nilstastic 2012-12-22 08:29

Good: Nice graphics and a good interpretation of the theme!
Improve: I did not manage to hit any of the ships :/ Better controls perhaps?

doos 2012-12-22 15:58

The controls were really unresponsive though love the graphics.. I see a job at ILM in your future, hmm?

wombatica 2012-12-22 21:44

hard to control but love the idea and feel

zimra 2012-12-24 18:32

I like the theme.
I don't really understand how to move (I use the arrow key ??)

csanyk 2012-12-27 00:31

Loved the visuals on this. Gameplay is a bit weak. Would have preferred to control the reticle with the mouse. Aiming was just about impossible, although I was able to score a few hits.

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 06:27

Was your intention to make gameplay more difficult in order to simulate the difficulty of operating a death star? That is an interesting idea, but the controls need to be improved.

I feel like this is such a shame, because this game has everything to be so awesome! Please work on the crosshair, make it easier!

That aside, nice idea : )

spacehunter 2013-01-05 17:45

Yes, I agree with you all about the controls. My first implementation of the crosshair was way to easy to use thus I increase the difficulty a little too much. I didn't consider the mechanic to be a bug and was trying to stay within the rules of the event. I will try to update my game as time becomes available.

Thanks for all the feedback ;)

Didn't work for me. I'm assuming it needs webgl enabled?

spacehunter 2013-01-07 12:38

nope no webgl, use either chrome or safari browsers
