I can't seem to use the web link.

dropbox 404

yaguar 2013-08-26 02:40

Error 404 from Dropbox on the weblink.

shackelford 2013-08-26 02:40

Same error as the others. Screenshot looks fun though :D

Dropbox 404

i'm sorry. i can't reproduce the 404 error. i checked it with 2 PCs. Chrome works but firefox displays just white screen. i have no idea why.

Looks really cool. It's pretty hard to control your ship, especially when you bounce in a corner and get stuck bouncing back and forth. I think it would help if it didn't re-orient your ship after you bounced.

It reminds me "Geometry Wars". Really cool and nice looking game ! I love the music :).

It's a bit difficult to control the ship though.

Awesome little space shooter, loved the presentation.

Very nice! At times got completely lost, because it was so chaotic ... But yet, somehow I was killing baddies and collecting goodies.

Fun!

Oh noes 404!

tym0r 2013-08-27 09:57

i got it working on firefox, framerate is not stable like in chrome though. but i don't know if it fixes the 404 error. looks like a common dropbox issue.

Funny game but very confusing

jimanzium 2013-08-27 19:49

Loading bar doesn't seem to load, but could be my internet connection.

NICE! Very good job!

olafurw 2013-08-28 00:32

Visuals are great but controlling the ship is way too twitchy. Usually just ends bouncing around the screen and then dies.

ocmu 2013-08-28 00:34

Pretty hard to follow where your ship is; chaotic, but I LOVE PARTICLES!

noom 2013-08-28 00:36

Bouncing off the walls seemed to exponentially increase my speed, which made this almost impossible to play. Neat concept but I found it too hard to control my ship at all. (played in the web version under waterfox, which may explain the bug I experienced)

spitfire87 2013-08-28 00:36

The particle effects are really nice, but they made the ship control a bit confusing.

william_edwards 2013-08-28 05:08

Crikey can you flight fast! Beautiful graphics. I wish the screen spun around with you. I spent all my time out of control and progressing by luck, it felt! And an extra compliment on the graphics for good measure! :)

esayitch 2013-08-28 21:36

Weird but very original control scheme for the ship... Liked that xD Special effects and overall smoothness was a delight!

A VERY solid entry!

porglezomp 2013-08-29 01:39

It's too hard to tell what's going on, since you aren't really differentiated from your bullets, and they're barely differentiated from your enemies. Even so, I really enjoyed bouncing around the screen spamming everywhere, the particle effects look nice, and the sounds are nice, it's just difficult to play very deliberately.

supercannon 2013-08-29 01:42

Cool, but hard to understand what is going on or have control over anything.

bradleysmith 2013-08-30 01:01

Throws up an error. D:

yagiz 2013-08-30 01:02

I got an error (web version) saying that 'mainMenu/mainMenuButtons/menuButton.png' does not exist...

sdgusler 2013-08-30 01:02

very difficult at first

rincewind_cz 2013-08-30 13:33

Particle effects are pretty, but the game itself is too chaotic.. it's really hard to see where your ship is on the screen.

manuq 2013-09-01 04:05

Spectacular visuals. My netbook doesn't handle the game very well, so I got very few fps. I couldn't see where was the theme applied. Hope to try it again in a better computer.

mollymus 2013-09-01 10:55

It quickly got a bit messy, lost track of my ship multiple times - and the bouncing when trying to go outside screen felt abit strange, would've rather seen that the sides looped into each others like in many other similar games! Anyway, you definitly succeeded in adding "particle effects all over the place", so good job on that!:D Always fun to try other libgdx games!:)

otus 2013-09-02 17:50

I like how hectic the game can get :)

Nice work on making the game colorful and lively!

Nice job!

codecranker 2013-09-08 01:19

Looks good, but I cant seem to get the controls right.
