This was really cool, I ended up playing for a lot longer than I originally expected. The upgrades didn't seem to do anything unless I'm missing something, and the planets were kinda easy to pass up but that wasn't a huge deal. I'd love to see more of this, it was really easy to get into but also very addictive, great work!
GUI is corrupted, but nice setting !
I appreciated the effectiveness of marmots and Spanish rain in this
Nice idea! Too bad I don't really know english syllable rules, so it was kinda difficult for me :D
For the people experiencing UI problems, use a 16:9 or a 16:10 resolution! If you run with 4:3, then stuff is going to be out of screen (and game will become really hard :D )
The idea is great - I'd have liked to be able to use some of the smaller pieces together to fit the 5/7/5 rule, as it was I mostly used marmots rather than most of the ones in the store.
I think I defeated all of the planets. Nice little concept, one of the most original interpretations of the theme I've seen so far!
Unique battle that use the haiku.
I love spacious mood.
I'm on a train back home from a Real World Gathering, with silly internet, so I can't download the game.
But the screenshots look awesome!
Cool!
Sorry, didn't get it. How do I fight? Pick random sentences? It took a long time for me to understand that I use w,a,s,d to move.
I feel like this would've done better as a RPG rather than a space shooter, but I love the Haiku mechanic. Great Job
Awesome use of the theme. How can i get more words? all i have are te same 3 or 4 options over and over.
For those curious,
Try the shop for new phrases,
A hundred bucks each!
Nice game there !
It's a great idea but I don't this this game is really for me, although it could be mostly because I'm not a native English speaker so counting out the syllables can be a chore.
Nevertheless, the presentation of the game is very well put together with a suitably space-y soundtrack :)
What did I just play? hahaha, great work. I don't usually get dizzy with games but it was a bit hard to turn the ship without getting a little bit.
Cool idea and I also got a general grasp of the syllables used in English thanks to this. I think I managed to clear all of the planets, some of them with perfect haikus even!
Comment in haiku:
the game was interesting,
thanks for making it.
hehe, clever. mouse-lock for windowed mode would be nice. :-) felt like fighting weeping angels from dr. who. nice work!
This is really innovative and the execution on the theme was perfect! I love me some puns and Skyku is great! I did have a lot of trouble battling though, I got close to winning once but the enemies are way better than me at this haha! I like the combination of genres and the planets in the background added a good amount of atmosphere. Great job!
Hi, I'm on Linux and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the resolution. Or anything in the game world I can interact with besides the shop.
This is interesting in a way, and haikus for sure are an unconventional weapon.
The game is more fun than it should be. All you can do is fly around in a sort of overworld space mode, and fight on different planets. The fight itself is not really a challenge. I wonder why there are no 5 syllable phrases though - I was hoping to make a perfect Haiku, but the game won't let me. Not even the shop has them, and why would I buy a one syllable phrase for $100?
It also took me a while to find out that I have to click on my ship to submit the haiku. I guess the game could do that automatically, as there is nothing meaningful I can do after all 3 lines are filled.
Very wonderful game! I'm kin on the time that I spent on this product
Huh. Haiku is certainly an unconventional weapon! I really appreciate games that work the menu/ui into the level design. Really nice work!
love the idea! i couldn't seem to string multiple phrases in one line. really cool tho
Nice game! Very well done! Just the fights were a little long! But I like the graphics, the sound and the flying very much!
Hi! In case you're still interested, I've fixed web build link for our Rules of Paradox game.
I can't seem to understand.
This game is weird but also fun! What have you done to me > - <? Giving good ratings
I feel a kinship.
I don't know why, but "shall we eat all the" never counted as being five syllables even though it is? Also I had a very hard time telling who was winning until I actually won.
Beautiful art, had a good time streaming it. I missed that you could buy more words in the shop and gave up on it too early so I won't count that against you. A really cool idea though.
Nice game. I like the description you put :)
I felt a huge lack of feedback though. I had no idea when I was getting hurt or doing damage. It took me way too long to understand it.
Hey, thanks for trying to play my game! I have a primitive events system working now that spams my computer with noise whenever a connection occurs, so if you want to try and play then give me a time and I'll try and have myself or someone I know looking out for it!
Thanks again! :)
Fantastic use of the theme, pretty fun to beat your enemies with malformed haikus at the start! Graphics were nice too, my only real issue was that "Reroll" costing health wasn't really explained. Good work, keep it up! :)
Lol I like the choice system! Well done!
Quite unusual, got some time to "proper" play the game (English is not my native language), but I loved it!
At the beginning I didn't get how to fight, so I think the rules should be explained more precisely. Beside this game is really fun. I also like the graphics. For me it's strong 4/5.
Awesome! Really liked it! Thanks for your feedback also :)
Very interesting use of theme and mechanics. I like this game! :D
The mood of flying through space is really well done on this and the use of haiku was a clever take on the theme.
This was very fun
I wish there were more haiku
To add to the fun
I think some of your syllable counts were off... just sayin :)
