Original !

skywolf 2012-12-17 00:06

@Edocentrique many many thanks.

Very nice game. :-)

lidfrid 2012-12-17 10:19

Great idea and very interesting gameplay!

Good work :D

madmaw 2012-12-17 10:21

Great work with the graphics and sound, looks very professional given the timeframe. Really amazing achievement

skywolf 2012-12-17 10:27

@Cy4n1d, @Lifrid, @madmaw thank you :)

Awesome idea. However, that hero seem too superior. Maybe I'm just not clever enough to discover the efficient of hitting him, but he keeps avoiding my "attacks". Stupid hero!!! ;)

kroltan 2012-12-17 10:36

Really good game! Very polished!

ratking 2012-12-17 10:48

Awesome idea! Needs a replay function! ;-)

The game looks quite nice and I really like the idea but has a number of flaws I think.

You really need some kind of introduction / tutorial explaining how everything works. I was expecting, when clicking on a grid, for the ships to appear exactly where I clicked so I could stage an attack better.

I would have also used number keys instead of letter for the hotkeys as they are more readable - the font you used is somewhat strange ^^

Not a bad game though at all!

Wow that is really cool gameplay :o very different. I liked the song aswell even when the hero dodged your attacks everytime it was still fun and rewarding.

prelucid 2012-12-17 10:58

Awesome, re-read the instructions a few times before remembering I was the villain, hahaha.

skywolf 2012-12-17 11:07

@Starspell yeah, font was kind of randomly picked because it had a "spacey" look and it was under Open Font License, i could not afford to "waste" time in being picky :D thanks for the feedback.

arch-jslin 2012-12-17 11:12

Pretty cool! Sometimes it's like too many buttons though :p

Very good game, well polished. I felt a bit too random when spawning my ships, but it was fun nevertheless

raincole 2012-12-17 11:36

@Robotic I didn't find any randomness at all?

tinytouchtales 2012-12-17 12:01

mhhh very nice!

dek 2012-12-17 12:09

Good take on the theme. Fun game!

jmoraguiard 2012-12-17 16:43

Really good and well planned! Game mechanics are fine tunned and enemy (or hero?) AI is really good for making it a nice challenge :) To make it more difficult I'd have done that money increased depending on attack performance ;)

sclark39 2012-12-17 17:24

A bit clunky, but a cool idea. I wish I could have set up more of the typical enemy arrangements (like a row of enemies to all come out at the same time) instead of just basically random placement.

rujomarco 2012-12-17 18:29

great entry! very original and well made

the-jack 2012-12-17 20:03

Cool, seeing quite a few of these. Great audio. As with most of these the "enemy" is OP. I'd have tried to make a gradual curve of dummies to intelligent.

tau7153 2012-12-17 23:24

Quite fresh and original gameplay with cool graphics.

quantumvm 2012-12-18 04:04

The controls take a minute to figure out, but once you do, you are rewarded with an interesting twist on the space shooter genre. Great fun and a good challenge!

rylgh 2012-12-18 04:54

nice job! the ship was good at dodging (maybe a little too good) and the music was very addictive. seriously, i really enjoyed that music.

ardale 2012-12-18 10:56

Gameplay is very original, and it's not easy to destroy the ship! Good Job!

kgs0142 2012-12-18 12:28

Very fun!
The difficult is just right, good job :)

loren 2012-12-18 16:31

Fun gameplay and nice graphics, a good combo :)

haxpor 2012-12-19 05:54

Nice execution! I see this kind of concept in Ludum Dare 2 times now, you're the 2nd one. Hero is good at dodging !!

mistakoo 2012-12-25 15:52

Good job, especially on the UI. Also fits the theme like a glove.

smaxx 2012-12-29 11:18

Nice idea - the UI is a bit misleading (I thought the buttons would be clickable, too).
