The web link isn't working for itch.io
The game looks very polished and you pulled off the art style very well.

Fixed!
There are some things that can be improved (low cursor visibility, text on Controls screen is hard to read, intercom text out of screen and WebGL performance) but I really like the graphics, especially the bullet trails.
Overall the game looks polished and is fun to play.
First, just wanted to give some UI pointers. The cursor is too small and blends in too much with the background. Having to click through the dialouge too forever because I had to find my cursor.
So, three suggestions here. 1 - Make the cursor biggest and more contrasting, maybe a light cursor with a dark border so it shows up everywhere. 2 - Allow keyboard inputs and clicks anywhere on screen to advance dialouge 3 - Allow ESC to pause/close game ' The 3d graphics are beautiful, even if the angle did make navigating and seeing what's ahead of you a bit difficult.
Overall it was a good game, just could use a little tweaking.
I really enjoyed playing this game! I didn't have problem to find my cursor as others did. I love the graphics design and the whole style of the game. It felt right flying in the space - the controls were nice. Visual effects like shooting, trail and explosions were gorgeous. I would personally change the color of the font in dialogues - the light gray wasn't very visible.
Overall for me this game was very nice! Good job!
Nice entry.
Nice graphics. My only suggestion is to work a little bit more on the UI, to make the colors and the icons more visible (the dialogues are hard to read because of the light color).
By the way, good job! :D
Was so slow I've not been able to play it correctly
The game is well polished, is really fun and addictive. I was struggling trying to find more energy thought. I didn't have any problems on the Windows version. The art is beautiful. Great entry!
I was unable to play due to WebGL running out of allocated memory. It looks nice tho!
When it says "not go down without a fight" it means it! lol Game ran smooth for me, play well, felt responsive, sounds were dead on. Nicely done
Hi! I would suggest to increase the cursor size or remove it if is not necessary for the core game (if it only is used to menu you could implement the keyboard input) because is hard to find it when you are on menus and misleads when you are playing. Otherwise I think you've done a good work in the technical part, good job.
This is a really cool game, and I especially like the graphics.
My only improvements would be
- To make the cursor bigger, or perhaps even just go without the cursor and use keyboard controls only as the cursor really isn't needed. - Possibly make it clearer how to get points (e.g. do you have to destroy ships or survive as long as you can) - Make it a bit clearer what you should be doing with the asteroids (I think at some point I remember it saying you need to mine them. How?
Other than that it's very good, and I really like the atmosphere etc. :)
Amazing visuals. Enjoyed playing this game :)
The visuals look great and the music was nice. I am so bad at this game; I had only 1 kill in 3 trials. However, it was fun. I think the game needs a health bar. One thing I can't figure out is the game's relation to the theme. Overall, the game is really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.
EDIT: I see in the screen shot there is a health bar but I couldn't see it in the web version. the lower part of the dialogue was clipped too so it may be a resolution problem.
EDIT 2: The UI problem I mentioned above is probably why I couldn't see the relation to the theme since I couldn't see the power or ammo bar if there is one.
I really liked the art style, the laser effects, the colors, the graphics in general! The ship was a bit difficult to control. I had a hard time hitting enemy ships. Other than that, the game is really polished, great job!
It felt really good. It was hard to control the ship sometimes but didn't affect the mood. I would have liked to see the full game. nice job.
