I like the changing mechanics and music fits in well

A great idea for a nice game, even if the AI tends to kill itself a bit too much to my liking ^^ (or am I just bad at this game?)

The changing mechanics works well, the music and the graphics are nice. Definitively worth a try! :)

This is probably the best game I've found so far! Simple enough so it's easily playable, yet has interesting mechanics so it's really fun to play. Great job!

It's quite hard because the AI of the hunter ships is a bit dumb, but it's more than good enough for a LD game, is there an AI for the supply ship? it seemed inactive while I controlled a hunter.

Really fun game.

The graphics are very good and look pretty polished. The music is good as well and the SFX fit.

The gameplay is very fun and it's a cool idea to switch between ships to support the other. I found it a bit weird that the two hunters are basically the same. I only ever played Hunter 1 and switched to the Supply ship. I feel like there should be three different roles for the ships.

The shooting and supplying part was awesome. I would've loved for the second ship to give buffs to the other ones. Like upgraded attack or an absorbing shield. They could be on a 10 second cooldown or something, so you always have to switch and choose what to buff for the situation at hand.

Other than that I had a lot of fun. Great work.

Love the art, details like the asteroids breaking up are really nice, the whole thing looks great! The mechanic was cool, I wasn't sure why there were 2 hunter ships rather than just 1, I tried to just upgrade and use one of them as much as possible. I guess it makes it more interesting for the fuel ship to be balancing both though. Overall a lot of fun though, and really polished, well done!

The game is fun, the ship changing mechanic works very well, the graphics are nice too but the difficulty curve was a bit too rough, for 100 seconds i had only asteroids and after 220 seconds a lot of enemy ships appears and destroy my ships x). The game is really fun good work ^^

A really cool entry! Nice art, sounds and music that fits well, not to mention a pretty interesting twist to the shoot-em-up genre! As many have pointed out, the AI is a bit dumb, but I suppose that's one way to force players to play using the other ships instead of relying solely on the charging ship! A pretty polished game, well done!

Best compo I've played yet! Great entry. Ally AI is a bit dull, but there would be no fun without that lol.

Very very cool! It felt a little like lost vikings! I loved the 3 ship switch mechanic, and the recharge ship! I also like that it's an endless shmup.

Graphics were nice, it felt very polished! Congratulations on your entry!!!

This is one of the best games I've played so far. I had a lot of fun playing it. You should be proud. Good Job. : )

Nice retro shooter. Fits the theme well. Fun to kill time with.

karreg 2017-08-04 16:02

Woaw ! Very hard to switch between the different ships ! But pretty cool and fun ! The graphs and animations are very good, as usual ! :p Congrats for this game ! You can be proud of ! <3

The three ship system was great once I realized the SUPPLY SHIP was supposed to SUPPLY and not shoot asteroids! Really thought that was innovative and fun. I would've hoped the two damage ships to have a little bit more different playstyles than what they had, I felt it was just two lives plus a healer. The audio was good, graphics were nice, certainly a solid entry here.

almax 2017-08-04 17:00

Really like the power regen mechanic, having to switch ships was a challenge but satisfying! Great entry!

manoloon 2017-08-04 18:25

great great entry! I love the mechanics! you must keep this project alive!

sokette 2017-08-04 19:22

YEAH ! Super nice game, loved the switching and refueling mechanic ! Powerups felt GREAT, graphics are spot on ! Game overall was really fun !

On the critic side now, music felt a little bit out of place, that's it. :P

eggshelldog 2017-08-04 23:55

Nice! That is really fun and I appreciate that you have write ai script for the the hunter when I am using supply ship! Also great audio and graphics! I can only get about 4000, I saw there is some weapon upgrade in your gif, don' know when I can get it :P Here is a little advise, I think the supply ship should always fly behind the two hunter ship, it's a "SUPPLY" ship! That is sad when my two hunter ship are low power and fighting in danger at the back, and the supply ship is at about 70% right of the screen! :joy:

sinclairstrange 2017-08-05 23:16

Great little mechanic with the swapping of the ships, really enjoyed that, felt like it gave it something new. The graphics are also very well done as well, although I felt like the difficulty curve was a bit weird, started off extremely easy for a while and then got very difficult very quickly, although it's not much because I do enjoy a good challenge. Overall very well made game, great stuff! :D

Hey @harusame - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=7423), I like the idea, and I really looked forward to playing it, It's pretty hard, so the balance feels off, or just ramps up too fast, but I'm sure a bit of practice and I would also get good at it. Really nice idea, and feels like something that would be awesome multiplayer.

This is a pretty cool take on the space shooter/bullet-hell game. I loved the mechanic of switching ships. I find it a bit awkward to play when I get down to just the fuel ship. :-P But otherwise it plays cleanly, and it's fun. Graphics are great. Audio is very fitting. Overall just... nice!
