Very original ideia. Good work!

utoxin 2015-12-15 15:05

Not bad! Definitely a good original idea that fit the themes well. Not sure if the lag in input was intended (a cooldown, maybe?) but it took a bit of adjustment.

triello 2015-12-15 15:06

Thanks for the feedback on Parallax, man!

mintarcade 2015-12-15 15:09

Innovative. Any plans to finish the game?

nopogo 2015-12-15 15:12

Fun concept. would like the ability to craft more miners for faster mining :)

crucknuk 2015-12-15 15:15

Very nicely done for a 1-man team in that limited time !

zeriver 2015-12-15 16:45

First of all thank you all for commenting and playing my game :)

@triello
Sure thing m8

@utoxin
Yeah, there is a small cooldown when activating/deactivating fighter drones

@MintArcade
Hmm i would like to expand this game and if i get some free time i will do so. Originally there was going to be much more, like beacons in Faster Than Light, where you can upgrade/build more drones or choose you next destination (and even more).

@nopogo
Hah, yeah that was originally in my plans but i didn't have enough time ;)

@crucknuk
Thanks, it was really a challange especially it was my first Unity game (not including Roll a Ball tutorial game xD)

everard999 2015-12-15 17:19

Any plans on launch it on the future? A finished/polished version of this worth a lot!

blancohugo 2015-12-15 18:41

I like the original idea, congrats

The OS X download contains a Windows application. I think.

andyman404 2015-12-15 21:42

The link for OSX is the Windows build. Please fix the link to point to the Mac OS X build. Thank you! I want to play this game.

dokthar 2015-12-15 21:43

On linux the orange square do not contain any information, quite annoying, and the game crash on exit. Still a nice creation need, it's really can be improved. Keep going.

linus123xbb 2015-12-15 21:45

The concept was a lot of fun and the sound effects were cool too. Good job!

rob_haines 2015-12-15 22:11

This is an interesting concept, & one which definitely has space for expansion into other related mechanics beyond the scope of LD. Be interested to see what further development could turn this into!

Only (minor) critique of the game so far is that enemy ships can shoot you from off-screen before it's possible to click on them.

kazura 2015-12-16 00:12

Really interesting concept, liked the gameplay and the musics ! Good work ! However to me the enemies are too long to appear, that makes the progression a bit too slow

zeriver 2015-12-16 19:42

@Xinelu
Yep, as soon as i will get some free time im going to work on this project.

@Polith Games @Linus123xbb
Thx :)

@Christian S. @andyman404 @Dokthar
Yeah sorry about that, i uploaded new builds. Hopefully this time they will work for you :D

@Rob_Haines
Thank you! Yeah, shooting off-screen is something i will have to fix someday. In overall i will have to change lots of things if i want to expand this game.

@Kazura
Thanks, i will crank up difficulty when i will work on this game later

Nice theme aplication, not very fond of the star wars resemblance

andyman404 2015-12-17 01:50

Sorry, I couldn't get the new Mac build to run. I think I've seen this issue before with .RARs and Mac apps. A .ZIP file might work better. I was able to use a PC to play the Windows version though. Good work! I like the robot voices. The planet thing looks cool.

designernap 2015-12-17 13:30

Great audio, nice idea. Good work! Love the main model.

schizophrenicghost 2015-12-17 18:20

Very cool idea! I like that extra bit of depth the game has compared to just shooting baddies. I think if you add more to it this could be a very interesting game. Nice job!

hotboxgames 2015-12-18 20:19

Original and very enjoyable! Great entry!

chaoscult 2015-12-18 20:20

"The application can't be open" error on Mac OS X 10.11 =(

orangeez 2015-12-18 21:09

Original ideia. But need more work!

zeriver 2015-12-18 21:16

@tribrain, @DesignerNap, @The Merge Conflicts @Hot Box Games @OrangeeZ
Thanks

@andyman404
Thank you for all your effort to play my game and feedback

@ChaosCult
Sorry about that i uploaded 7zip version, maybe it will help you run game

memoryleek 2015-12-18 22:10

Innovative use of micro management and game felt pretty polished overall. In its current state I don't find the game very fun though.
With some more work it could turn into a fun game :)

kushulain 2015-12-19 02:26

Collectors seems to collect even when deactivated

azureaspect 2015-12-19 12:03

I wonder if it was bug but when I had my collector drones inactive, there still would be some collector coming from my planet. Activating collector drones didnt seem to do anything o.o
Nice game idea though, got around 3+ size and then couldnt grow it anymore :)

humanics 2015-12-19 14:25

7 is HUGE!

phocker 2015-12-20 05:43

good start but in the end not much of a game here - controls are confusing and the constant activating/deacitvating/low power got annoying - good effort

lkfumagalli 2015-12-26 18:52

Thanks for leaving a rating and commenting on my game! I included your game in an episode of my Let's Play Ludum Dare 34 series to show my gratitude! :D

Below is a link to the post with details, and you can find out my opinion of your game in the video as I play!

yuigoto 2015-12-26 19:37

Pretty interesting concept for the game! The graphics and audio are great too! :)

The game feels a bit slow, though and some balancing could be done with energy and resources gathered.

This could become a quite interesting strategy/resource management game with more work!

Congrats and Cheers! :)

dejvo 2015-12-27 08:10

i liked tha kindow star treky theme but the gameplay lacks a lot of things. try polishing it a bit
