It might be a bit too hard at the moment. Perhaps the spawn rate of debris should scale with elapsed time.

It was fun for a while but a bit short and repetitive. The enemies only spawned at the bottom of the screen so I barely had to move at all. I liked the particle effects though.

Graphics are pretty neat, not sure what those wheels are doing there though but made laugh!
Quite challenging game! Keep on doing cool stuff :D

I liked it.

I liked it! The gameplay was a bit simple but the game is short enough to allow it. I did quite like the graphics, they were pretty charming.

Looks very pretty. I love the particles.

Game is a bit short mechanics wise and very easy once you spot that they only spawn in one place on the screen.

Solid effort in my view.

Nice entry.
Please take a bigger font size next time. ;)
Gameplay was OK but having to quit and restart the game on death gets frustrating fast.

Very grindy at the start

Graphics are good, but, why do all asteroids and wheels spawn on the same line? :-)

dst 2013-12-16 15:27

I have no idea why it spawns them all on one line, I just tried in WINE and it seems to do that in the windows version, but it works fine in Linux =(

dst 2013-12-16 16:05

fixed

Really liked the game, but having to restart it every time you die was a bit frustrating especially considering how easy you die. Graphics were good though!

Great polish and graphics, and clearly a decent engine you got there. Hard at first, but you can easily cheat by constantly holding down the reverse button!

Haha, wheels in space. Guess there was a massive, intergalactic car crash^^ I giggled when I read the instructions. Do this? You die. Do that? you die!:P The game itself was quite fun to play, and the graphics were simple but effective. I like the idea of shutting down the game once the player fails. Nice entry man!

For those that have commented on the graphics, a big thank you from the guy behind the low-ish poly models. :D This was my first LD, but doubt it will be my last. :)

ekilibr 2013-12-17 12:45

Nice but quite repetitive. Enjoyed the graphic side :)

nichii 2013-12-17 14:59

Could use more creativity.

dst 2013-12-18 09:18

Nichii, it sure could ;) Most time was spent doing other stuff, like getting the engine to behave, asset loading and stuff done, also, we were exceptionally lazy this LD and pretty much canned the effort :D

I enjoyed this. I'm a sucker for side-on/top-down shooting games.

ludotrix 2013-12-18 10:18

Nice graphics, feels a bit hard.

rothens 2013-12-18 22:19

Very hard game, but nice. I think I found a bug. I can slow down WHILE going down, but not, when going up.

snoringfrog 2013-12-21 07:21

With a slow computer, restarting the game every time I died got obnoxious very quickly. Otherwise, the game wasn't bad. Nothing mindblowing, but decent.

Windows and linux but no mac? Any chance of an osx version?

dst 2013-12-26 22:22

Thing is, that it is quite possible to compile for Windows and Linux using just a linux computer, but for whatever reason, there is no convenient way of building for OSX without actually using OSX.

dst 2014-01-03 14:19

Rothens, some keyboards do not have the ability to do "left+up+space" combination, that be the cause of this behavior at your computer.
