Enemies come through walls, health bar is really big and blocks some of the assets, background begins to hurt your eyes, some objectives are hard to find, screen shake is way too strong and there's this annoying sound that loops all the time without any clear reason. A decent game with many smaller issues.
An interesting concept marred by quite a few bugs and annoying decisions.
Could be quite fun if worked on.
On its face, an asteroids style space shooter with some exploration and item (key) collection is a cool idea. However, as mentioned before the sound looping in the background isn't doing the game any favors. The screen shake really needs to be polished. It goes past the point of "juice", and really just makes it hard to orient your self on the screen. Enemies pass through walls. The movement physics don't feel great against enemies who can move more easily than you. Dogfighting doesn't feel great. I might tune the enemies to work better with the player's capabilities. It's a nice attempt. Definitely don't stop trying, but I think there are some lessons you can definitely learn from what didn't work here. Best of luck on your next project and/or Ludum Dare!
Could be fun fix some of those little bugs and the game would have more appeal
As others have said, great idea, and I was initially pleased with the ship movement, but it's really hard to hit the enemies once they start circling you. Promising though, could be a lot of fun with a bit more work
