I can't see the link here... So for anyone as inept as I apparently am, you can play this game at xyrix.org/ld28 :-).

They are so fast, but that is their downfall! They kept sliding off the map and giving me free kills.
Game was pretty fun, good work!
I liked the beep at the start of the game... Made me think of it as a blooper reel for a movie, where the main actor screws up heaps... Coz I kept dying...

The game was too fast. I tried several times but could not help the ship from crashing.

I think the control need adjustment, it's so easy getting killed by moving in a direction and hit the wall ><
The mechanic, while not original, is fun though!

cool idea! I like the challenge a bunch, felt a little fast, but after playing a bit, it worked quite well. nice job!

Controls on the ship are waaaaaay off. You need to add some damping (every frame: velocity = velocity*damping, and then damping is some number like 0.95) so that the ship's velocity goes down faster over time. The way it is now makes this kinda unplayable. Other than that good job!

Having a brake button would be nice for controlling this slippery slidey ship.

I just found out that you can press S to brake. Everything is easier now.

@xyrix You should add the key instruction on your entry description.

xyrix 2013-12-17 14:35

Well, I can't change the description now, but I have added a note to read the controls page to the intro page.

xyrix 2013-12-17 14:37

Okay, nevermind, turns out I can.

Ahah, I just had fun wandering in the levels, using the throttle to brake like in theses old games like more recently Gravity Crash. Didn't met any ennemies though.
