When i see you game on preview, i think that is my game. Circle on orange background :DD
Nice gameplay, respect for the about screen ^^
I survived up to ~17 boats

Fun, but it was hard to get a hold of the controls first. Most of the enemy boats also blow eachother up, which isn't that fun.

Cool concept, ran a bit too fast for me to really play it,sounds were very loud and annoying,

It was a bit hard to cotrol where I go for me! But I liked the idea anyways! Graphics and sounds could be better :D Good job MAN!

Thanks everybody!
And you're right, zakchaos. The sounds could use some work.

Your game has an interesting control scheme, I kinda like it. It restricts you quite heavily as to how often you can make a move, but at the same time while you are moving gives you precise control of your turn and allows you to fire at just the right moment.

I don't mind that the bots are blowing each other up. It would get crazy hard real fast if they wouldn't make mistakes like that. But it shouldn't happen right at the start of a wave, where they hadn't moved at all and just fired to either side.
The circular health bar is interesting too.

I love the gif you have attached. =D

Very interesting control scheme, difficult to control but definitely something I've never seen before.

Nice idea, but it is little hard to get to know controls

harley77 2014-12-09 03:06

The control scheme is interesting, haven't run across anything like that before. Good job!

Liked the gameplay. Was hard but I managed to pass 7 levels, Keep up the good work! Could make it harder by disabling shooting until the enemies start moving.

Pretty fun after getting used to the controls.

I wish the rest of the game had as much detail graphically as those boats - wow!

Haha this game was quite fun once I understood what was going on :D

Very hard to control.

strandypants 2014-12-10 21:55

Nice concept, but I found it a tad to hard to controll. And yes, they killed eachother more than I was able to:D

teamquadratic 2014-12-16 02:55

Really interesting control scheme, albeit difficult. Would love to see this expanded on!

I really really like the visual style of this entry.

Cool... But Please... Don't put almost pure cyan in your next game.
