Really liked this, shame it ended so abruptly, the Windows 98 theme was very cool!

Pretty short indeed, anyways fun game!

That's really fun! You should think about continuing development.

popcorn897 2014-08-26 05:16

We will be! I'm going to be posting any future updates to my youtube channel www.youtube.com/jdevelops897 (getting things set up right now)

The game tells me to choose a planet and I can only select the moon?! Are you going to ask me to press "any key" next? I don't have such things!

Joking aside, it was quite nice both asthetically and gameplay wise although super short (I think the game congratulated me, I was too busy clicking and skipped it).

The controls are somewhat weird, why not just use the keyboard for everything (arrows to move, space to shoot)? It was also somewhat hard to figure out what I was supposed to collect and what I was supposed to avoid. It is also somewhat strange that the game scrolls vertically but the width is greater than the height, giving the player almost too much room horizontally. The fact that you could shoot in an angle made it a somewhat sensible decision though.

All that aside, this is a solid entry! Good job.

Complaints noted. We will implementing an alternate control scheme and adding some visual reference to what is good and bad. Thanks for the feedback!

Enjoyed it, it was fun and it would be great to see more

Honestly, this way more fun than I expected. Shame that it was so short. The Windows 95 theme was interesting :D. Best part was the battle with many many objects and shooting them with the secondary cannon. Good job!

Awesome atmosphere, awesome feel, awesome graphics! Would love to play a full version of this game someday.

Good job!

That windows UI was amazing.. Game is really great, but too short! I want more weapons, more crazy spaceship enemies and more everything!

popcorn897 2014-08-30 19:56

The game is kinda hard but very cool, I like the retro style!

tosic 2014-08-30 20:07

Also I coud close it only with task manager (but I didnt mind that a lot).

popcorn897 2014-08-30 20:16

Im really sorry about that, I wrote that down as a bug before hand. It was fixed but and working but its happening again? damn.

Great job. I just wish I could have held the mouse button down to shoot haha.

Funny intro, nice cartoonishy graphics, and pretty decent gameplay!
