Fun game and pretty good concept!

pxlcoder 2014-08-25 15:09

Great entry! I liked the wide variety of ships you were able to build.

jharler 2014-08-25 15:10

On first play I was overwhelmed, trying to read what all the parts were so I lost the first time. The second time though, I taught that red planet a lesson! Fun concept and well executed. I enjoyed playing this. Well done.

cptnwaffles 2014-08-25 15:12

Great concept, though it seems like the larger ships are completely pointless at the moment since building lots of scouts gives the best mobility and damage output per second of build time. Aside from that, this is a great game :)

arzi 2014-08-25 15:18

Great concept and a fun (if a bit too difficult) game! My favourite so far.

druid 2014-08-25 15:18

Incredibly good concept!!!

redpanda_ua 2014-08-25 15:18

This is great! Shame I can't win :( The AI is too good! :D

dhargan 2014-08-25 15:36

best game I've played so far in the current comp. good job mate :D

lyszie 2014-08-25 15:36

That's so much fun! It was not so obvious what to do on the first turn but in the second it was hilarious trying to gather all the parts :D nice game!

tomker 2014-08-25 18:01

Yea thats really good game, like the idea.

towelking 2014-08-25 18:05

fantastic game and cool concept. I like the recycling of parts after battles, I wish there was a sense of ownership of space, so that you could control the debris instead of having to out click the enemy.

trickfishpie 2014-08-25 19:40

Didn't mange to win but a fantastic concept :) The music reminded me of Law of the west for some reason(one for us older generation) hah

naksrifati 2014-08-25 19:45

The gameplay is astonishing! This game shud grow up in some thing big)

fanttum 2014-08-25 19:49

very cool game and idea. Lots of run but it isn't easy. The enemy also only sent out the small ships, would have been nicer if they did the big ones too

a333 2014-08-25 19:54

Idea is exploitable. It's definitely fun to scavenge the space in search of the spare parts. But, as being said, it's much more fun when it's tied with the actual game mechanics.
You'd probably encounter peculiar balance disruptions this way, for example, defensive play would be more profitable, the battles will be near your planet, where debris are easier to harvest, but clicking certainly breaks the immersion.
Oh well, i've got carried away, but it's because the concept is good.

dweebster 2014-08-25 21:52

Wow this game really rocks! Nice strategy and speed.

esayitch 2014-08-25 21:58

Cool, smart game :) I got my ass beat handily every time, but I liked the overall framework and structure of the game. Of course with some more investment it could become a really wonderful game :D Sound was a nice bonus.

Well-done and good luck!

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-25 23:49

Neat concept and pretty cool!

graebor 2014-08-25 23:51

This is great! Building huge ships out of the wreckage of your enemies is really fun. Good job with the AI as well, I found the balance of difficulty to be right on. I got schooled on my first playthrough, then came back with a vengeance to win the second round. One of my favs so far!

bobrocks 2014-08-26 03:09

Wow, the AI kicks the crap out of me! Nicely done, very good looking, solid gameplay! This is definitely in my top 10!

avh4 2014-08-26 03:10

This is a great concept. I'd love to see a multiplayer version! Though I didn't see a lot of strategy.. after playing a while, it started to feel a bit futile, like the card game "War", but it as fun nonetheless.

buckslice 2014-08-26 03:23

Oh man I saved up all my metal and built a huge ship right at the beginning and he barely defended my planet in time. Cool game!

resonious 2014-08-26 03:28

That was actually really interesting. Neat idea!

darkuser 2014-08-26 04:15

Really impressed with this one

mramaizng 2014-08-26 04:23

Even though I was unable to win, I still had a fun time.

korigame 2014-08-26 05:35

Interesting concept. The Ai beat me every time, and all my ships seem to avoid the enemy planet like the plague

honcho 2014-08-26 07:52

Loved this! Played it multiple times, but couldn't win. Bookmarked for inspiration :D

spotco 2014-08-26 09:16

Nice "Hands-Off" RTS concept, though pretty difficult. My ships seemed to always lose to the enemy's!

cultofmonkey 2014-08-26 14:02

Really enjoyed playing this one

2014-08-26 15:10

Brilliant!

01rafael 2014-08-26 16:13

I really didn't understand what to do. What should happened witn ships then? Not bed idea at all, but I don't enjoy(

bio-bob 2014-08-26 16:26

Pretty cool, the resource gathering being a test of speed was interesting. Perhaps the game could do with being longer with the planets having more health and maybe there could be resource waves to help keep it going - felt like the game slowed down a little too much after all of the resources around had been picked up. The art style is nice, the music was surprisingly fitting. Good game!

everystone 2014-08-26 19:10

Love it! 10/10 ( once i figured out you could queue ships I instnatly won, might be even better if you couldn't do that).

lakael 2014-08-27 03:45

Really fun game! I played that for wayyyy too long, in a good way though. Nicely done!

savethejets1 2014-08-27 03:50

Cool mechanic!

perpetualraine 2014-08-27 05:40

Fun game! It was a race to click the bits fastest.

nonentheless 2014-08-27 11:01

Awesome entry. Love how the ships follow each other during the fight. I wished there was more levels with different challenges or quests :)

manou 2014-08-27 13:32

Excellent idea and execution. Don't like the graphics still. If you work on this game more you can get something very good.

43iscoding 2014-08-27 14:02

I love how planets are dran. Very detailed and natural

hb3p8 2014-08-27 18:27

I like gameplay. Not difficult but interesting.

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-27 19:00

Great game! Very enjoyable!

artamus 2014-08-27 20:15

Nice game, congrats!

dragonxvi 2014-08-27 21:29

Interesting idea, reminds me of space trucker, but had some issues with the cursor hit-detection of the pieces that meant I had to click on them with an offset which made things quite awkward. Got stomped pretty quickly too :p

voidqk 2014-08-28 00:24

wow, awesome concept! I loved it! I had a bunch of glitches though :-(

kittymac 2014-08-28 01:50

Thanks for all of the fantastic comments! The "mouse offset" bug appears to only happen when in fullscreen mode, so I have disabled that menu in the unity web player. Cheers!

pvtroswold 2014-08-28 04:12

I don't think I've seen this mechanic before! Good idea, very addictive!

commodorekid 2014-08-28 17:08

That's a pretty neat idea! I really liked the gathering the destroyed ship parts mechanic. Had a lot of fun. Wish it was multiplayer :)

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 17:11

Nice concept for builds! Really good job!

jukimv1986 2014-08-30 09:44

Victory!! Very fun to play, nicely executed concept. I had a very good time playing it. Awesome!

mechabit 2014-08-30 22:43

Brilliant concept, the opening scramble for parts reminds me of galaxy trucker. Would have been cool if the ships you built actually showed the guns/armour/engines that you put on them but given the time limit that's understandable. Maybe you can expand the game to have more detailed ship models, maybe specific combinations creates unique ship types like stealth bombers or support ships with no guns or planet bombers.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-05 20:58

Cool game! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bMx3RCVCht0

vividhelix 2014-09-06 23:03

Very interesting idea, I liked how the resources came back into play...Well executed!

sbarrio 2014-09-07 10:44

I liked it a lot!, loved the idea and the way you are supposed to build your fleet. Great job!

h1s2 2014-09-10 21:03

extrem cool concept. i am a little addicted. the controls are a litte weired. pretty difficult. :)

garethjenkins 2014-09-13 11:23

Awesome idea, well done.

kittymac 2014-09-16 05:27
