This is better than FTL.
You got a lot of kudos here. I love small experiences with great art, music and gameplay. Awesome
Nice job!
Nice. A little random but I know one friend who's addicted to space games like this. Just throw in some trading and you're on to a winner :-)
p.s. I've fixed my game since your review <nudge, nudge> :-D
Trying to steal credits always results in the police and I can never defeat the police.
Thanks for the feedback all! @ripter did you try escaping? blue starbases give the best chance to get credits.
Enjoyable romp! Nice and simple. It took me a short while to figure out which planets payed the best.
Congrats for finishing LD!
BTW, a little feedback when hitting buttons for attack and whatnot would be nice, otherwise it's a bit hard to tell when I can press one.
Interesting game. Its a shame you couldn't bring a little more of the graphical style from the opening screen into the main game. Still, it was enjoyable.
@ChainedLupine Yeah I thought about having it switch between You Miss! and You Miss Again! but I didn't have enough time to get it in there. I'm going to work on a post-compo version in which I will add it and hopefully a few other features. Thanks for play though :)
The police killed me good.
I like the combat mechanics. The police seem a little too hard to kill.
Agree with Chris above...move the game to graphical simple style like the main menu vs rogue-like text battles and this could be badass. Like the overall concept about being a Space Pirate and stealing from bases a lot. Think about making a real-time vs turn based style game in the same vein. This is still a solid entry for 48 hours, so great job there!
The life of a space pirate is hard! it's a little more complex than it first looks, which is good. Had a nice time trying to get those 50000.
Very nice idea, good execution of the idea. :)
