Wow! A multiplayer game is really awesome, and i'm impressed how far you were able to get over the weekend! Once I had a ton of acceleration it was really hard to stop or turn around, was the transformation supposed to help me with direction/speed changes ?

@disdanes: The rocket is fast but shoots and turns slowly. The fighter can spin around and shoot faster but is slow. The miner can't shoot and is slow but gets gems.

@DRGY @Hyoga-3D: sorry my heroku usage went over the limit! I set up a new server and the link should work now

awsome multiplayer, i liked the concept and where your going with this, how hard it is to use node js for multiplayer?
as mentioned before the ship is not so easy to control once you go fast.

sound would of made it better use :

for sound effects its very easy.

Cool game! I liked how the 3 forms of the ship worked together, once I figured them out. The speedy one, the agile battle-ready one, and the shielded digging one. I got up to 5 points one time.

Unfortunately I never did find any aliens or players to battle. So I feel like I missed out a bit on the combat. But I'll probably come back to this one later and maybe have better luck. I did find a lot of planets and diamonds :)

A multiplayer game is pretty neat indeed!

But I didn't meet another player...I guess it might be better if there are some simple AI ships.

good multiplayer!

Neat, I like the transformations! Unfortunately there was nobody around. The purpose of the three ship states wasn't really clear to me.

Cool concept, looks cool, I would like to see this turned into an open world RPG type game, where you can unlock more ship functions to explore uncharted places in space, trade your wealth for other useful stuff, etc...

Wow, multiplayer in LD is always impressive. Unfortunately I just was with an afk player...
Controls are hard (even with rockets), but I think it's part of the game...
Graphics are effective.

Can't play. Get an application error: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5061704/Bildschirmfoto%202016-04-21%20um%2019.29.46.png :(

Nice idea, i like the visual style, but somhow i never found anything else than planets?

end3r 2016-04-21 20:36

The pixel art style looks nice, and I like the transform idea.

technovirusattack 2016-04-21 20:56

The controls are not intuitive, and it would be awesome if you include some music!!
Anyway great game!

josefnpat 2016-04-21 23:23

This is a really neat concept! I was able to do some mining, but I really didn't know where I was. Some indication where other things / players are would have been helpful!

Nice job!

webadev 2016-04-22 15:43

Didn't reallyt understand the game. The ship is a bit too slow, no sounds... But graphics really cool.

It's an interesting twist on an old favorite when I was a kid. I didn't get to experience any multi-player aspect, but add some other objects to space that can be used against others and it might have more replayability.

franklins-ghost 2016-04-24 00:37

Impressed that you were able to do a multiplayer game in such a short time, although I didn't run into anyone else while playing. Liked the different ship states but just wish the transformations happened quicker so I could fly around rapidly changing flying styles. Nice entry.

mrshoestore 2016-04-25 02:36

This is awesome! If only more players!

rhastapunk 2016-05-02 07:27

Interesting entry, just when I got a lot of speed is nearly impossible to stop this ship xD

Good job

Space... is pretty lonely
