Great concept. I would have liked a smoother control of the player. and maybe a left click gun and right click lazer instead of shift click :) good job.

Not bad for your first game. The controls are a little clunky and a few times I was waiting for ships to spawn so I had something to shoot at. And it seems you can select the text on the ships, probably shouldn't use a text box like object for something like this. What's the black thing in the corner too?
Fun little game. Damn that undefined name that got to me.
I agree with sharp911 on the controls. Right click for laser maybe.
It seemed like maybe there was a delay or cooldown on the laser? If that was intentional, maybe a visual indicator for the cooldown would be helpful.
Not a bad first game at all. Hope you learned from it!
Hi ^^
Sharp911 : Thanks you :3
misto423 : The spawn is fully random, i know me too i'm waiting sometimes
daviosmash : haha x)
Tigerbyte : Yes, i've learned so much and i'm a little happy because it's really the first thing i made :3
It was odd to me to control movement with keyboard and fire with mouse. Also, no real clue what the black thing in the corner is? Laser seemed a bit needless, once I learned I could spam click.
Hey, very cool for a first game! I liked playing it. If you're looking for an area to improve: the controls felt a little slow or clunky at times. But overall very nice!
Interesting game :D love it
Not bad for first game! Keep going and good luck!
Pretty good for a first game!
The animations are too slow. Keep going!
Controls were a bit clunky. But it was playable and actually a good little challenge!
Seemed like the enemies got right on top of me very quickly.
Seems like the highscore page wasn't working.
With smother controls and some more variety (power ups, enemies, etc) I can see it being pretty fun!
This is awesome for your first game in 48 hours!
Controls for up and down were a bit jumpy (and I forgot you could at one point haha) but the shooting worked to speed and I guess that's what really matters. Fun little game concept, be cool to expand it with power ups and a laser power bar.
As everybody else said, the controls are a little rough. Do continue making games though, congratulations on your first game :D
It's me again, thanks to all. Just to tell you, the site for the score is UP now. I just have to retart the Mysql database.
It's a beautiful beginning, keep going
It is a good for a first time. Just wish for little smoother controls.
Great idea, found the shooting to be a bit clunky, shots missing when they clearly should of hit. I think with some polish you will have a genuine time waster on your hands that will be hard to put down.
Solid first attempt at a game. You seem aware of it's flaws so no point reiterating them. Nice work.
Fun game! Maybe make the bullets do less damage with slower fire rate, or let the user hold to shoot? Nearly gave me RSI spamming out the bullets :D
it's nice for a first game, but it's missing a Pause button.
Not bad! Better game name than mine :D I'd like the ship to move more smoothly, when user keeps key pressed, but it's fine. Great work!
I really liked the graphics.
Cool game.
Nice graphics - fun element with the names!
Good enough for first game :) Keep going!
Do not use selectable text field during game play and controls should be more sensitive. Congratulations for your first game.
Pretty good for your first game, and because of this, I forgive you those bad controls ;-)
Nice concept, but you should polish it for the next time :)
I love the idea behind this, and the random names of the enemy ships gives them more personality! Like most others have said, the controls of the movement and firing need some more polish and tweaking and perhaps an increase in the spawn rate would make it more engaging. Great first game though, keep making more games!
Not the greatest, would like something more, but good enough for a first game.
Yea, kinda riggad, but a good try. Also the sound still plays after you are dead when you fire.
Interesting mechanics.
Always most important to finish something. It is playable and cool.
nice job, collision detection doesnt work well, maybe you should make game little bit faster?
Cool idea I guess?
Really slow though. Needs a lot more polish to be great.
Nice first game. It could be better with some simple effects on explosions (like camera shake or some particles) to add to the experience.
Nice idea, and very good for a first game!
It's a great attempt for a first game!
The controls need to be a little more responsive and seamless, though.
Nice idea, ship needs to move smoother, put some music!!!
Cool game for your first time.
Really nice game! Very fun to play!
Congrats on your first game ! It's actually not bad at all. The scores at the end is a nice touch ;)
Nice first game!
It was a bit unclear, when I hit a spaceship with my rockets...
good concept, nicegraphics, clumsy controls
Good first game!
Not bad for a first game. For improvment, if we can attack at the actual rate, maybe you should add more enemies so the ame will be more dynamic. And try to avoid editable textbox. ^^
Congratulations for your 1st game!!!Keep going!!!
Not bad for a first game, keep going!
Clear and easy concept, clear target, looks pretty good as your first game!
A little bug could be this: when I try to shoot two bullets in row, sometimes (quite often) I see the 2nd one just pass through the space but with no hit sfx.
well done for a first game!
I like the art, I feel like this game would benefit a lot from a bit more "flash" -- like some kind of explosion instead of the enemies just disappearing. nice game though!
For a first game, it's work pretty great :)
My opinion is that feedback are the most important thing, so your game could win a lot with some "Wave 2 clear" or other stuff like that !
Ps: think of azerty keyboard too !
for a first try, it's cool :)
The controls lack of reactivity (up/down). Nice game for a first game though
Nokifict : Hi, i'm belgian so my keyboard is an azerty and at least my choice of keyboard was for qwzerty (can i edit my game now ? )
This is a good learning experience. Ludum Dare is the perfect excuse to learn :) Good job!
Great first entry. I agree with the controls/movement being a bit slow. Also I keep accidentally clicking on the name-boxes which feels a bit awkward. In terms of programmer art your ships look good, and I'm infinitely in love with procedurally/randomly generated content. I look forward to seeing your next entry!
I could be a little bit faster. Keep up the good work.
Good job for your first game man, all the comments here say the same stuff I would so just commenting to show support :)
Shooooot ! :)
Don't forget some people don't have QWERTY keyboards ! I have to press down to go up and vice versa :P Makes the game a lot harder, though :)
For a first attempt it is quite good, but compared to the others it still lacks a lot in polish. I bet that by the next ludum dare you will have improved a lot
A bit confusing
Sometimes enemies have name "undefined" and i believe text fields on ships shouldn't be touchable. May be you should add some scores and other parameters? But i liked enemies with different speed and movement.
Nice game for your first time. I hope you keep learning and having fun doing games! It would be a easy control and more options, it is a little repetitive. But good job :)
Congrats on your first game :)
Needs a bit of polish though
Next time I should read the instructions first. I was trying to figure out what the timer was and died trying to laser enemies. :P
Good job for a first game :) The movement was a bit awkward and it was weird that I could fire in all directions. I expected to shoot straight in this kind of game since I can move up and down. Makes it a bit easy since you can just spam the laser. Pretty fun title :P
controls were not so good.....otherwise its fun :)
nice one ... specially the ranking ... we almost implement a ranking but you know, 3 days lol :D
Great concept
Good entry!
Good start, it's fun. With more work it could be a nice game :)
Random names are a nice touch, and I like the background. Maybe next time experiment with new enemies with different motion patterns, like a sine wave. Hope to see you next time!
pretty good one..
The names were a nice touch. Next step: Shadow of Mordor!
WOW, really cool! The spamming mobs code you put in became too intense after a while, and, the hardest person's name was undefined! XD
It could have at least had score to it, but I understand level progress when the mobs spawn faster! :D
Nice work :)
Nice concept!
Really good first attempt. Well done.
RSI inducing gameplay :D Nice first submission, looking forward to your next!
Great for a first game! (This was mine too haha) Controls were a bit slow (animations too) but the concept is good! Fun little game!
nice
This is great for your first! Same feedback as others, I think it's a really solid entry and you gave it a really good shot. Good job :)
quite strange game, but good effort for a first game. keep it up!
controls are good , nice try...
Crazy game %)
Very nice!
Congratulations finishing your first game!
The controls seem a bit stiff but i do like the lock on missiles. :p this is a good entry :D.
Apart from rather obvious shortcomings like the very sluggish controls, the concept itself is actually pretty interesting. Overall, not bad for your first entry.
