I really like the idea, simple and fun :)
Good game
Lots of nice little mechanics make this game enjoyable, dialogue keeps it interesting too. I don't know if you had time (which is fine) to add faces in the speech bubbles. If they are there, I'm using Firefox with adblockPlus just to let you know. Only thing is I personally found it a little too small. This would be more fun in late-game if the view was portrait, I was using the mini-map too much. Still, the way the perspective works and other mechanics are great. Well Done =]
Ooops, forgot the faces! :)
Fun game. Played nicely, was amusing and the story kept it fun to play through to its conclusion.
Think I spent more time looking at the mini-map than the actual world while traveling as it had the most useful info available.
Nice visuals and controls. Cute and funny story. I am not sure my shield ever worked. My hull went below 0 and I never crashed so I just started ignoring other cabs.
? If your hull is below 0, im sure your dead! (Music stops for a second and you have to start from the beginning again.)
Maybe you didn't notice, because you skipped the textbox?
Crazy taxi in space!
Love it
Very fun dialog! I was confused after the end though, where did my passengers wanted to go?
Simple and fun, really enjoyed it! It has a nice feel to it.
Funny game, nice little story to go with it. Couldn't really figure out how the shield worked and every time I crashed I wasn't instantly destroyed either, but it was a nice game, space sure is crowded.
Great ! I reall liked how the story is set up ! The differents effect are cool. It would be nice if the game was bigger whether in game (the distance between planet) and the game screen !
Thanks for playing, everyone! Maybe 'shield' was the wrong word, the 'shield' just lets you fly around without the warpbubble for a short time, because if two warpbubbles touch, your hull is damaged (by an interdimensional rift). Without your bubble you can safely cross another ships bubble.
Fun game, but a little easy.
Scumbag boss!
This is my favorite so far, I really wish I had put something like this together. Thank you for the vote, with your feedback I put more explainy-text in :)
Job well done! All the more impressive for not using any libraries, all one file.
Nice, but a bit boring.
Really good job
This was a fun game, I'm not sure if it was over or not, but after the boss story finished I ended up taxing a few more planets, and then I just warp bubbled into another ship.
I made a video of it as part of my series on Ludum Dare 30 Games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqgDVZZ7NYQ
The story line kept me playing
This was kind of my idea, just I implemented it WAY differently. This was surprisingly fun to play, I liked how you implemented the story part well.
This was very enjoyable. I plan to come back and try to see what that boss did!
Nice game with cool game mechanics. Like that zooming out when the taxi is accelerating. Nice Dialog system, but with faces inside the portrait boxes it would feel more atmospheric... I know time was short... It's a cool Game! Good job!
Best part was the dialog. It was funny and well written. I think that I would have liked the speed transitions to take longer. I could speed up and slow down so quickly, that it seemed like it lost the importance that was pressed in the beginning.
This is pretty great. There are a few typos that don't appear to be intentional, but it's still impressive that you were able to make the music, sounds, and graphics all by yourself and still have somewhat of a story included also.
Very good game, technically speaking.
Liked it! Sometimes felt like I didn't had any chance of avoiding the taxis, but didn't mind. It was fun.
Very good - nice, simple gameplay. The story was a great addition too, charming and pretty funny. The actually game got a bit repetitive though, especially after the dialogue stopped and there was nothing breaking it up. Great start though!
Stopped playing after finishing the storyline and earning 2500 spacebucks. Circling on the outskirts of the system made it pretty easy to achieve. Zoomed the window to about two times the original size, after which it became much more playable. Interesting arcade-style gameplay and a fitting aesthetic too. Only bug I noticed was the minimap going outside of its supposed box :P.
Also thanks for going to such great lengths in order to play our game!

I enjoyed the game. The passengers are a little on the rude side, but that's probably par for the course for taxi drivers. The other taxis are a rather aggressive which made them tricky to avoid. The pixel art worlds are charming.
Nice one, I like the graphics and the gameplay is solid. Not a fan of this taxi driver, he should be happy with many passengers ;) Enjoyed the dialogue though! Well done.
Fun game, the story was very entertaining. Really enjoyed it, great job!
I had fun playing it. I hope you make a post-compo version and if so, I would change the following things. At first: a lot of my time I watched at the small minimap. I would remove this minimap and try to show all the required information within the game, e.g. other taxis as orange arrows at the screen's border and getting thicker the closer they are. Secondly, I recommend to make a kind of map border so the player has to cross the traffic and can't just fly round.

It was a nifty little gem that reminds me the 90s games like Space Taxi, UGH! with the top down view similar to the shoot 'em up style. I found the game screen small on my FullHD monitor, thanks for Firefox's zoom function, so it wasn't a problem longer than 30 sec. Anyway I find the idea interesting with the funny story. Maybe a repair system give this gem a new edge.
