Graphics are stunning, but my biggest issue here is that it's barely playable :( Please, add move love to controls of the spaceship and transparency of goal/mechanics to player!

tamat 2013-08-26 10:29

You are right, I will do it for the post-compo version. I starting adding the gameplay mechanics 5 hours before the ending time :/

I don't know how to play this. Even with the info text. I can neither lay mines, nor can I shoot as the second player.

tamat 2013-08-26 16:42

player2 cant shoot, player1 shoots using the spacebar.
to lay mines as player2 simple press right mouse button.
But I know it is a little bit ofuscated.

Wow, incredibly stunning graphics.
Difficult to appreciate if you are sitting alone in front of your computer though, but love the visual!!!

This looks fantastic, and I love that you did it in JS/WebGL. The mechanics could use some work, though. The ship is quite difficult to control: he should react more snappily to input, and there should probably be more "friction".

tamat 2013-08-26 19:54

I thought about adding some friction but it is in the space! (although I can see how this game is not scientifically accurate in any way)

If only it just had a bit better instruction..

paidgeek 2013-08-26 20:53

Very nice graphics! But yeah, hard to figure out what's going on.

2013-08-27 13:25

Looks very nice ! But the gameplay falls a littlebit short.
btw: If this is for the 48h-Compo, should'nt be there source code ?!

juaxix 2013-08-27 22:55

are you planing to do this an online game?...that would be amazing and new ;)

the-jack 2013-08-28 22:38

Great visuals, having a hard time rating anything else other than the theme, which you seem to nail... also would love to see the source, thanks.

mironix 2013-08-29 12:24

splendid craftsmenship - hope you'll make it online !

unorthodoxgames 2013-08-29 12:32

Such stunning graphics! I remember seeing this on the front page and being really fascinated, and I'm really hoping to see it taken further!

tamat 2013-08-30 14:50

Thanks for the comments. I would love to reuse some parts to do some kind of online game, but wont be realtime.
About the source code, well, its a web game, so all the source is available rightclicking on the web. Anyway, I created a zip and linked it here.

Stunning game! Feels punchy too. Figuring out what ultimately to do is a bit hard though :P

pereubu 2013-08-31 12:02

stunning art D:

Visually a very nice game, but the camera switching combined with the awkward ship controls make it difficult to play.

fullmontis 2013-08-31 15:14

Graphically it is stunning, but gameplay is relly confusing. Also, I think movement is bugged because my ship started flying away at extremely high velocity.

supermaximo93 2013-08-31 15:14

Brilliant graphics, but the camera swap is quite disorientating and makes it difficult to play.

Yay HTML5! Oh, Chrome. Sorry.

tamat 2013-08-31 18:39

It works perfectly in Firefox, Chrome is just a tip

After seeing the screenshots of the game I actually went out of my way to try and find a means of enabling webGL on my (apparently black listed) linux setup, surprisingly enough, once I force enabled it the game seemed to run perfectly!

Probably one of the best looking entries I've seen, feeling a little similar in style to the "PROBE TEAM" entry, given that futuristic tech sort of look. I don't have much to add besides what other's have mentioned. Assuming I'm correct in thinking it requires two people hot seating it to play I feel I can't really be a fair judge as I was just trying it out alone!

I can tell it's a really excellent effort though, even if I didn't get to play it "properly".

markusfisch 2013-09-03 20:07

Wow! Incredible that you did all this in just 48 hours. Really impressive.

loxo 2013-09-06 19:23

I like the awesome graphics and the game concept! With some work on the controls and added audio this game would be incredible.

xrm0 2013-09-15 18:55

Beautiful graphics, but the ship is difficult to move
