I'm loving this, it feels like a solid concept and it's fun to play!

pietro-ferrantelli 2014-04-28 19:05

Solid entry ! I really enjoyed it :) Congrats !

Nice, the controls have a nice feel to it

I found it impossible to leave the game in the middle of a level without terminating it with task manager, and I had it crash once on loading a level, but the game is really good and fun to play.

Good feeling on the thrusters, and the particle effects were cool. Music was good. Mechanics are the strength of this game. Very fun!

dustystylus 2014-04-28 19:21

Really nice! Good graphics, nice sound. Music made me feel a bit nostalgic about AdLib soundcard on my favourite DOS games. :D

Nice entry, fun to play. I really liked how responsive the controls were.

Amazing. At first I found it a little slow, but after traveling a few planets far it gets quite interesting.
+1 for assisted landing.
I feel like the ammo could be a little more powerful by default, but realy, that's all. Quite amazing for 48 hours.

Nice addicting game and quite polished.

Zupoman: To leave the game in the middle of a level, you just have to fly up to the top of the screen... You'll be taken to the "upgrade" screen, where you can exit to the main menu and leave... Another quicker route might have been prefered... :)

Really, really nice presentation, but pretty boring gameplay. Very impressed of the amount of content you were able to squeze out though.

For some reason I couldn't close the game down. It just changed the background color of the level when I tried.

I agree, the gameplay is a bit slow tedious at first. That said, it's quite nicely made and the controls are really responsive and nice to play with. Cheers from a fellow PT developer!

Would be nice if it had an ending or a more clear indication of where the ending was.

angrypriest 2014-04-28 22:41

Really cool, I loved the effects, such as the explosions and the thrusters. Very innovative

balloonsfor600 2014-04-29 01:05

Great entry. I really enjoyed it.

covenant 2014-04-29 17:43

Kragnir: the game doesn't have an end, unfortunately, didn't have time to code one in... :(

msaul 2014-04-29 18:26

I really like the audio, a bit borring at the begining.

stepperz 2014-04-29 18:36

Seems like a well thought out design with the added bonus of it being quite fun :)
Well done!!

boodog 2014-04-30 04:37

Really good! It was good! Good graphics, good sound! :D

ccglp 2014-04-30 13:56

Very nice, is so relaxing, and the gameplay is good.

I had to close the game with the task manager >_<

sudorossy 2014-05-01 00:27

Cool controls, are the planets procedurally generated?

covenant 2014-05-01 00:40

sudorossy: everything about the levels is procedurally generated, based on a random seed and the current level.

sergraz 2014-05-01 09:35

Very solid, fun and polished. Lacks goal a little.

cluelessgames 2014-05-01 13:07

Very solid game lacks a goal :)

tomvert 2014-05-01 13:32

Nice.

paps 2014-05-01 13:40

the game crashed after leaving the first planet, too bad I wish I could play more. loved the game, and the music

hybridmind 2014-05-04 16:29

Had a really great time playing this. Level 3 kicked my butt though unfortunately. Those enemies were relentless and it made it difficult to do my mining. Nice work on a solid and fun game!

bucketh3ad 2014-05-04 17:44

This is a really fun and surprisingly complete game, although there is one game-breaking problem. The chasing enemies followed me back to the spawn point and I died immediately twice in a row without time to even fire a shot. Prevent that sort of instant death from happening and I see a lot of replay value here, especially when experimenting with different combinations of upgrades.

nanolotl 2014-05-06 11:07

Kept me playing for quite a while. I don't really see the reasoning behind making the close button/ALT F4'ing making the background change colour though

covenant 2014-05-06 21:50

Nanolotl: There's no reasoning behind that... Alt-F4 should close the game, ESC should go to the main menu... :\ There's a bug somewhere... There always is... :) The background changes color because it generates a new level...
