The itch link doesn't work

mightymarcus 2017-12-05 00:56

Where is your game? 404 not found?

flome 2017-12-05 01:09

fixed

flome 2017-12-05 01:11

sorry, wrong link

minimurgle 2017-12-05 01:13

It still doesn't seem to be working :/

mightymarcus 2017-12-05 01:17

For me it worked.

flome 2017-12-05 01:19

it works for me and says it is published what happens when you try?

mightymarcus 2017-12-05 01:19

It's a nice idea and I even had some fun playing it. Right Mouse to cool down the shield or something like that. :)

minimurgle 2017-12-05 01:20

I get a 404 error

flome 2017-12-05 01:22

did you refresh the page

mightymarcus 2017-12-05 01:23

Me not.

minimurgle 2017-12-05 01:29

Shouldnt need to refresh it since I'm directly reopening it each time. Tried it though, didnt work. I tried completely closing chrome and that seemed to fix it.

Fun little game! It would be cool to have a display for where the space station is when it is spawned. I felt like I was just looking randomly for it.

I like the idea of having to slow down but wish the meter was more tied into gameplay with a story element or something. I managed to get a score of 185. Nice work on the game.

minimurgle 2017-12-05 01:35

Now that I can actually play it, I think it's pretty fun. I think it could definitely use more work though. Some powerups to add variety would be nice.

flome 2017-12-05 01:37

thank you.

This is pretty neat.I Really like the simple gimmick.

flome 2017-12-05 04:00

thanks!

lawzy93 2017-12-05 05:09

Very simple, but a clever mechanic. Lot's of fun!! Would have liked a nice background 80's retro arcade soundtrack :P

Well Done :)

flome 2017-12-05 05:28

thanks for all the feedback

You got yourself a nice small game there, nothing too unique about it but it's fun to play. Add more to it and you can have a proper game right there.

nammflow 2017-12-05 05:51

It's a fun little space shooter game! Would love to see some more mechanics added, but this is a great start! It's fun to challenge myself a bit with games like this and let lots of enemies surround me and try to take them all out :p

flome 2017-12-05 17:36

Yay I would have liked to add more but I didn't have allot of time on Sunday

mathiouza 2017-12-05 22:28

ool game ! Really great when overloaded by ennemies x) The lazer sounds great and the mecanic is quite cool but I think you could do something more dynamic when cooling the system, because that phase is juste boring. It lacks music.

Great job here. Keep coding :)

fashionbatman 2017-12-05 22:31

I loved the game play in this, dodging around and shooting was fun. But the play area was a bit too big and it wasn't that fun trying to find a space station. Good job!

nehvis 2017-12-05 22:42

Cool usage of theme, but the gameplay isn't very good to be honest. You can just go in circles and will never get hit

arch 2017-12-06 03:49

Great job! Tight controls and no bugs that I found! I loved the retro art styling too. I also think it was wayyy to hard to find space stations. I think you have a great base here that you could build off of into something more diverse and complex.

egawag 2017-12-06 04:00

Super fun and interesting with the feeling that I should not kill enemies and also have to because of the balance between build-up and health. Just not enough space stations!

incredible-ape 2017-12-06 04:53

Nice work

svarttand 2017-12-07 14:34

Nice space shooter. Maybe have the spaceship always accelerate forward according to where it is looking instead of being able to reverse with the ship. And the background was a bit boring when you could see that it actually was tiles of a couple stars next to each other. Either make bigger tiles or make some variation and have them placed randomly. The sound fit well with the graphics style.

Altogether quite alright.

terracottafrog 2017-12-07 22:08

Cool idea, but I feel like it needs to be a lot faster to really captivate people. The game feels a little bit slow, likely due to the large area and few enemies. Maybe the game could take place on a single screen? That would bring the player into closer contact with the enemies, making the shield recharging more tense.

Other than that, some background variation and power-ups / enemy types would add a lot of interest.

Another issue is the tutorial only showing once. I accidentally clicked past it before reading it, and was not able to see it again. Maybe put a screenshot of it on the itch page?

I would say its really close to being a lot of fun!
