Really confusing. Hard to tell if I wasn't understanding things because of lack of instruction or due to menu issues. Some guidance would be nice because conceptually this looks cool.

When I get destroyed on 1st mission (and that happens very often), I need hook for next mission, but I have to wait very long time for money.
PS: No sounds

Getting "Invalid or Corrupt .jar file", so can't play :-(.

Windows 7 64-bit, Java updated appropriately.

doubstract 2013-12-16 14:25

Sorry for that, you can get different mission in other stations

There is a hell of a lot here. Upgrades?! Money!? different fuels. This feels really fleshed out and accomplished. Clearly you weren't messing around.

nice concept, the upgrades a bit expensive tho, as it's almost impossible to find the station without dying 20 times, waiting to buy fuel and stuff.

Really nice graphics.

The concept/idea were good, but i couldnt catch the controls very well, kinda hard but i like it!

binary_girl 2013-12-16 14:39

i literally had no idea what i was doing but i liked the gfx :)

doubstract 2013-12-16 14:41

Thanks, i just had no time to explain goal :)

Don't really understand what to do, maybe I'm just stupid, also if your going to have mouse wheel as a control please also include another way to control as some of us are unfortunate enough to have a laptop

I don't understand any of it, but I have to admit, there's a lot of content and effort in here. That's probably the greatest pitfall here too.

I don't understand how to play..?! Looks very nice, but how can I get new fuel? :|

doubstract 2013-12-16 15:00

You can buy fuel in stations

doubstract 2013-12-16 15:01

And i just find bug, when you buying fuel, you have to choose normal fuel

red-mike 2013-12-16 15:04

Quite complicated, but fun nonetheless.

gilborn 2013-12-16 16:36

Liked the physics, always cool when impulse is used in space...

dqmhose 2013-12-16 16:42

There's so much going on onscreen and it's pretty confusing. Once I figured out the fuel, this Upgrade frame kept popping up and I couldn't figure out why.. Without sounds I also wasn't sure at first how to get Upgrades or what to do.
After getting to know the game it's pretty fun, still really unfinished though. Keep it up!

disdanes 2013-12-16 16:47

Was having trouble understanding what to do. I think there was probably a really cool game to play, but I got stuck on the upgrade buying menu and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

milugames 2013-12-16 16:52

Quite confusing.

Seems like there is a whole lot of stuff in game and very many options. But I couldn't figure out what I actually have to do in the game.

The UI is pretty confusing and unintuitive (information overload and stuff all over the place) and so is whatever your mission is.

But I applaud you for making what seems to be a very big game in this time. Flight physics were solid. Graphics were solid. Loads of content. Just confusing though.

doccrazy 2013-12-16 17:19

Very hard and confusing, but nice concept. Some tutorial would be good.

oskardevelopment 2013-12-16 17:46

Nice graphics! Must repeat what the others said that controls were a tad hard and information was very limited. Felt that the game had some potential though, a more moody version of Elite? Good luck!

Interesting concept of turning a classic arcade game "Asteroid" and turn it into an adventure. However, it's annoying that I lose health when I'm shopping and even when I'm not doing anything. Does high temperatures make me lose health?

endesga 2013-12-17 04:23

Wasn't sure what to do. But it looks cool :)

heroesgravedev 2013-12-17 04:58

I don't get it either, but good job. I can see there is content. I just can't get it.

Space has never felt so grand.
