Very cool. Game thatgive!

Neat background parallax effect! I would´ve let the boxes rotate also, so they don´t appear so static in space :D
But beside this one thing, i like the game quite a bit.

I kind of love how confusing this game is (not sarcasm).

"A small hostile! Open your shield! A larger hostile! Ope-wait-close your-" *BOOM*

Really love the music and the game is pretty fun. Managed to make it to level 8. Nice work.

dos 2015-12-14 04:55

Level 7. Started kinda boring, but then became nicely challenging. Well done!

Fun game, though I only made it to level six.

Great job incorporating the theme into the story.

halleflux 2015-12-14 05:49

Nice concept. I've only seen games based on 'two button game' go with movement based controls so far, so this is a refreshing breath of fresh air. Well done!

sanojian 2015-12-14 07:35

It took me a few minutes to figure out I was supposed to be collecting the blue crates. Fun game and good use of the theme.

Thumbs up for HTML5!

It looked good, and had a nice feeling of it. Quite easy in the beginning, didn't feel so much threatened. Could perhaps accelerate in difficulty faster? I am impressed by how well the graphics and music came together to put the mood.

Accurate. Unfortunately my z-key has a problem in notebook... So i felt like a real old ship captatin

lordkawaii 2015-12-15 05:07

Nice simple shump!

pvwradtke 2015-12-15 05:09

That's a different idea. The two button control is fun, and I can easily see that working on cell phones and tablets. One criticism is that there's little penalty on raising the shields, so there's no strategy regarding its use. Other than that, good game!

timeshapers 2015-12-15 05:11

Neat game. Not really my cup of tea, but it's well made.
Only criticism I have is making the next level a mouse operated button in an otherwise keyboard controlled game is an oversight.

alexrus07 2015-12-15 05:14

Neat game, although dull at times. Great work on the graphics and the mood!

jamesmowery 2015-12-15 05:46

I enjoyed this. I was a bit confused about if you were supposed to aim or not in the beginning, but I figured it out after some time. If there's one suggestion I would make, it would be to just have an auto fire option (since there's unlimited ammo, it seems). That's what I was doing in the game, so it would make more sense if the game just handled firing for you, and you could add another, more interesting, mechanic maybe.

Other than that, I enjoyed it! I also like the music!

jackrugile 2015-12-15 06:58

I loved your concept and how it ties in both of the themes. I haven't seen one quite like this yet. You created a nice mood with the graphics and music as well. Nice work!

diningphilosopher 2015-12-15 14:00

Nice interaction between the limited controls! Not being able to fire or collect fuel with shields up makes for some engaging and difficult split-second decision making.

awfulmedia 2015-12-15 17:01

Clever use of the theme for sure! Fun to decide when the best time to use shields vs collecting crates and shooting asteroids.

Cool concept and good execution.

rkhadder 2015-12-15 18:09

Great game - I wish the ship wouldn't just sit in the middle

arzi 2015-12-15 18:09

Cool game! Nice use of the two button controls.

elliottd 2015-12-15 18:10

I know that music generator! I think the sounds were a little harsh. Try pitching things down or use a low pass filter (in audacity) to make sounds a bit softer. good job!

geoff10e 2015-12-15 18:11

Fun game. Early levels could be more challenging. If had a suggestion it would be to add a recharge timer to the shield.

chaomoon 2015-12-15 18:11

very confusing game. the sound effects hurt my ears. i like the concept of the shield though blocking both good and bad things though.

interwebsninja 2015-12-15 18:13

Good use of the theme!

drfallos 2015-12-15 18:16

So funly )

taffaz 2015-12-15 18:47

Cool game

de_von 2015-12-15 18:47

Good meditative but challenging after some point game. Well done!=)

dracomagna 2015-12-15 19:33

The game is simple but pretty well done, the shield mechanic reminds me of Ikaruga.
What I think can be improved is that the first levels seems a bit long compared to the other. And also, you could add a mechanic to the shield that make him use energy, so the player can't always have the shield.

mauludder 2015-12-16 12:18

Like sanojian I didn't know I should be picking up the crates (I thought they were bricks trying to destroy my ship, then I RTFM) and was quite bored as there seemed to be no challange. That all changed! :)

jupiter_hadley 2015-12-16 13:28

Well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/rvwkTXA2Y10

kebabskal 2015-12-16 17:01

Pretty fun, got quite hectic quick :)

mshopf 2015-12-22 00:43

Nice little game, fits the theme perfectly. Got to level 8.

strehfox 2015-12-23 16:01

Great game! Simple, but addictive. Found myself playing through several levels.

sketchygalore 2015-12-23 19:23

A simple but very unique concept! Very nice!

paruthidotexe 2016-01-04 23:03

nice game and addicting. Music is also good.
