Thank goodness the ship's collision box is only that dot in the center or I would have died a lot more.
The pop-up box at the end of every level is kind of annoying, consider displaying text in-game instead.
Also, not being able to turn your ship makes moving up and down completely pointless. Overall, not too bad for your first game. Congrats!
as miltage says , the popup is a turn off :/
but good the rest is
It is almost impossible to get hit by the bombs.
I like the graphic style. These single colour sprites remind me of the 'good old days'
@Miltage: The reason there is a popup instead of a screen in the game is because I had a hard time doing it any other way. The reason you are able to go up and down is because it is easier to dodge bullets and enemies. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
@Mandrew: Answered above. Thanks for your feedback!
@Zerkuemler: Almost every time I die in the game it is because of a collision with a bomb I didn't notice. Thanks for the feedback! :)
Pretty neat and stuff, but I don't think enemies should be able to pop right at the bottom of the screen... Makes it kind of random.
Good otherwise :D
I like it, but it seems impossible to figure out the enemy pattern, which makes it harder but more challenging and addictive :)
I love little shooter games, yet I am terrible at it. This game is a great entry :P I featured it in my compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you want to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Polnsp4F8
@Laelien: In my opinion it makes the game more challenging. It also gives the player a reason to move up on the screen instead of just staying at the bottom. Thanks for the feedback! :)
@Zccc: Thanks for playing :)
@Jupiter_Hadley: Thanks alot for including it in your video :)! There actually is a way to shoot, by pressing control, which also is included in the help section of the game.
If this is your first game... CONGRATULATIONS! good work
really good just a little polishing and a great game will appear.
For first game this is has surprisingly playable gameplay! Good luck in next development!
Simple and fun. Great work!
Fun little arcade game! Simple, nice progression. I like it!
Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback and thanks for playing! :)
Nice work. The game controls feel nice and fluid. Any criticisms I have have already been mentioned by other reviewers.
Impressed this is your first ever game and LD - nice work!
Funny, despite of all. An application of "10 secs." theme it would have been good. It only counts 10 secs. and level change..
The music and audio works. Keep on going.
Nice and fun, with decent audio. Some things wre a bit awkward though, like the lack of any 'lives' or anything, and the popup in between levels. All in all though, it was a pretty fun game ;)
my score was 200! )))
It's unintentionally humorous because of how shoddy it is. Can't tell the bullets from the background, a timer with a default font floating in the middle of space, popups, that music loop...
Nice simple little game. Too bad you didn't integrate Mr. Falkinson more into the game, would have made for a fun character.
Nice job for a first game :)
I would have liked to see a moving starfield and larger bullets.
The music is really nice.
The gameplay is solid and addictive.
Congrats on your first entry and first game!
Nice game, i liked it! Could have spent a little more time on the ship art though ;)
Pretty cool, popup box was annoying, and maybe add ship upgrades? The game felt way too straight-forward/linear.
Kind of boring, and the bullets were hard to see. I liked the falcon though and the music was a good touch.
Nice entry for a first game ever! I liked the talking eagle, even if is not really related to the game, and the music was very good! What have you used?
By the way, have to use the mouse to pass between each wave is kinda annoying, for a game with keyobard-only based controls. Next time use something like "press spacebar to continue", just a suggestion!
Thanks everyone for the support, I will take your advice into consideration for my next game.
Infernet89, I used Game Maker Studio. You can press enter to proceed to the next wave, which I forgot to mention in the popup.
Hi Korfi, I would like to play and rate your game but when I execute it there is only this (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43382869/TEMP/SpaceHunt.PNG) and music is playing (that is all). I guess 512MB RAM is not enough? Any suggestion? OS: Windows XP Professional 2002 SP3, 32 bits
Oh wow, hmm. I honestly have no idea why it isn't working for you. I guess it might be the RAM, I tried doing a quick search for your problem but couldn't find anything. I'll look in to it and hopefully find a fix for it, if not for this Ludum Dare, then for the next one. Thanks for your comment!
Good job for your first game! Especially since it was made in 48 hours!
Hi Korfi, at the end I visited my friend this evening and played your game on his computer! Nice space game! Good job.
Thank you so much for your time and effort. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Sadly I'm on a pc where I'm not allowed downloading any games/software, so I won't be able to try your game before the deadline of voting. I will gladly play it tomorrow though when I get access to my normal pc.
