Nice addictive gameplay

Got to level 8! Love the music and it's really fun, could maybe do with the stars appearing slightly more frequently as I was on level 1 for quite a while waiting for them.

Thanks for the feedback! I added the stars in the last hours to prevent players from staying in corners and I didn't had enough time to balance the spawn rate properly. I will keep that in the to do list in case I make a post-compo version.

Pretty Awesome! Like others mentioned the stars were a little slow, and you can do fairly well by not moving at all, which I'm guessing you realized and added the stars in the first place etc. Keep going with it, it's a fun concept!

Cool game, reached level 6 after a lot of struggle. My next addictive game. Well done

Wooooaah! 10/10, 100/100, Best game! Best game LD31! Really loved the way the player controlled and the way enemies spawned in, in particular. So gooooood! :3

Nice work!

This was really well done, loved it. Music was perfect, controls felt great. the difficulty stepped up in really nice increments but I think the progression was a little slow which made repeated play throughs pretty tedious. fantastic submission overall though.

Really nice, addictive and painfully hard :)
Loved the tune, really exciting.

Thanks for your good work!

excellent work! I love that you can lure the incoming enemies into asteroids to clear up the field of play a little bit. I don't think I've seen anything quite like that before, and it's a nice added layer of depth ontop of what would have otherwise been a fairly generic avoidance game.

Cool idea ! The evolution of enemies is very cool !

Fun and really addictive getting a higher and higher score in this!

waveformmodulations 2014-12-16 17:19

That was really fun! It got intense when the asteroids started appearing.

warpgames 2014-12-18 15:19

Simple and addictive. Good job.

vidar 2014-12-18 15:32

Really cool!
I _loved_ the music and the gameplay was interesting and varied enough to keep me playing quite a while. Great job!

I can't run the OSX version in my mac 10.10. I tried to downloaded serval time. and error info: “Artful Dodger - LD31” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

ashtom 2014-12-20 15:16

@OpengGL: that's because you need to configure Gatekeeper on your Mac to allow applications from any origin. I couldn't afford to pay an OSX developer certificate which is why OSX doesn't recognise my app as trusted.
