Nice game, congrats!
Very nice entry! The graphics where nice, the audio suited fairly well and the game was fun. The steering was a bit hard, but this is most likely intentional. Overall a solid game (Only had a little bit of issues with the first button that lets you start, but this was on the web-based version)
Addictive!
Good job, we were inspired by games like this to make ours look at ours: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=42021
Smuggling medicine, enough for a town. Only needed enough for my mother. Feel bad about it, but need to get through blockade. Through to the red planet, the only place they can't find us. Federalists spot me, they were hiding behind an asteroid.
They're always hiding behind asteroids.
Accelerate, dodging left and right. They'll never catch me. Ho! Crap! There's a Federalist cruiser, I'm so boned right now. They'll know it's me. Activate my ECM technology, their LADAR is too big to catch my tiny ship. As they fire on me, I push the rest of what my ship has into the thrusts. Ionized gas is leaking from my hull, my computer says I should be dead right now with this hull breach.
Just a bit further..!
I smacked into the planet and died.
10/10 would play again.
I like the way the ship handles. It's a little hard to get used to, but very fun once you do.
Cool! I like that the controls take some getting used to; they are sort of Flappy Bird-esque in that way (and I mean that as complimenet :P). The narrative arc (asteroids -> space ships -> screen flip -> big ships -> lunar lander) helps build tension as you get progressively further, and I like the symmetry it brings to the game (is also very appropriate for the theme).
After trying to go slow and be defensive, and losing five times, I just held down the accelerator and made it all the way to the other side! Hooray for random asteroids :D
Fun game! Took me like 30 tries to get to the other planet, and then suddenly I got there with 110hp :)
To me the asteroids were a bit OP compared to the shots.
Awww, this was fun. I've downloaded it after playing it online, I WANT to beat it later :D The music is fine, it paces your heart for playing. Keep it up! :)
If you think your game is hard, try mine :P
Anyway, the idea is pretty nice, and it is fairly easy to get to the other world. The problem is landing there... The area to land in is a bit too narrow. It would be nice if it could be a larger platform, moonlander-style. Also, the controls feel a bit weird and floaty. The engine acceleration feels a bit too sudden, and the rotation is too big. I tap the key a bit and the ship rotates like 60 degrees. If you are using a rigidbody for it, I would recommend using AddForce on keydown, and increasing the angular drag. On a more positive note, I like the audio and grpahics, and the use of the theme is pretty good! Congrats on finishing a game!
Eyh, this is quite nice!
Controls are a bit hard, and the camera doesn't give much time to react to "OH GOD AN ASTEROID IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF M---", but it's really fun. Love the way the game is turned around when you reach the red planet atmosphere.
Thanks for your feedback, guys! We are very happy you enjoyed our game!
This game was so fun.Controlling the space ship with the different gravitys was great but I found the cannon too hard to use .I enjoyed the music and sfx but I think you should have had a sound for the thrusters. The graphics were also quite nice add the change in colour of the background was a very nice touch.
Great idea for a twist on the classic lunar lander :) Nice physics and "battle elements." Storming through a war field was quite intense (though I'll admit that I crashed on the other planet :().
Nice Game. Fun to play with :)
Nice game, although I did get stuck against the ground with 0 hit points and couldn't move or cause myself any more damage so I had to reload the page. Still though, this is a great game considering it only took 3 days to make. Good work!
Fantastic stuff, the little shuttle you play kinda reminds me of serenity.
Alloy of two old school gameplays. Dynamic fun +)
Yes, it's very hard game, i could only once get to the boss ship, but i died fast. It reminds me a game, what was almost my favourite 8 years ago, but it's more cool :D
nice take on the theme. the gravity swap is pretty cool and a welcome change in the game pace!
Wow, this was tough! I'm set on beating it though! Great game!
I really liked it! Nice controls!
Great job. :-) Steering is a bit hard but everything else is nice. :-)
Really challenging! I've downloaded to beat it when I've more time :)
0HP and no dead, and if I collide with an asteroid I have 3 secondes to run before I died. Nice game but very hard because of collisions and some minor bugs that makes the game very hard.
Great game, well done!
Very challenging game! No one would fall asleep playing this! This is what hardcore gaming is all about :)
Nice entry! I liked the presentation and the reversal of the screen after you get halfway there. An indication for collisions into asteroids would have helped the feel of the game. Also, it seems the damage is always the same amount from collisions, I think it would be better if it scaled with the speed of the ship, maybe with the angle of the collision as well.
Cool game. :D And a very nice take on the theme. Loved the particle explosions.
Fun game, graphics do the trick. Very good
Nice effect for the bullet hits. This game is fun, good concept.
cool game
It is pretty hardcore, yes, and I was about to quit, but managed to reach the other planet just in my to-be-last attempt. But sheesh, you don't give much room for error during the landing! You could have at least made that part a bit wider, now that the player finally reached that place. >.<
Still, decent entry, though not particularly outstanding against the others. ^^"
Wasted! A bit hardcore is an understatement. Classic mechanics and nice graphics. Well done!
