What did you say Captain?

I was sceptical of how well this could work but you made a fantastic game from these two ideas. innovation 4/5 and 5/5 for the theme.

Audio 4/5 was great really fit the space shooter vibe.

Graphics 3/5 were alright just the standard ones you see in almost all shootem ups.

Fun 3/5 the controls were actually pretty good for a text game of course that slows the game down considerably and that doesnt work with a shmup. I'd have liked more hints on what to do I never figured out how to go faster and what do you type when it says where do you want to go?

overall 3.5/5

If you are wondering what to type at the end of level 1, "next level" is an accepted answer and load level 2. ("somewhere" works too)

Man , very good 5/5!!!

Very fun and original (we had pretty similar ideas as well haha)! The only thing I didn't liked it was there was no list of commands, I often forgot or acidentaly skipped the dialogue that hinted the command. Other than that, pretty awesome!

marcenat 2018-04-25 11:30

rs11s21n 2018-04-25 11:48

Well done! Especially with the hints from the crew! Very rewarding to just try to type "laser" and realizing it was a valid command X-D

marcenat 2018-04-26 20:26

@dikkop lol :) The 'o' is hidden in the first level

This was great, played better than I expected! Had a great deal of fun.

Feels original and well executed. Id like to see more levels and boss :D

I couldn't get this to run on Mac: it starts up, but my ship just sits there and nothing ever happens. Did I miss something?

Nice soundtrack

p0urqu0i 2018-05-08 05:54

Really well put together; having enough content to make two whole levels was a great touch!

marcenat 2018-05-08 08:26

@btrotter101 I'm sorry I haven't test it on MAC, maybe the data folders are not at the right place ? The folders "Datas" and "Levels" needs to be right next to the exe.

Great great stuff, I loved it :)

I'm interested to see what you think of this one :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/sam

btrotter101 2018-05-10 01:39

That still hasn't got it. Thanks for looking, though. I'll see if I can grab a PC this weekend to try it out.

First things first, your artstyle is very nice^^. Eventhough your pixelart is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand your have your super detailed ship models and on the other hand your have the pixelated beam (I know its just a beam and it does its job ver nicely), but from a consistency point of view you could change that if you intend to further polish your game.

Mechanics wise its pretty fun to maneuver the ship via key inputs, however I struggled a bit to change direction in the right time to avoid enemy fire (I am a noob at touch typing :-p). I could compensate for my lack of skill with Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v, "fire" again and again pasted, but I am not sure if those key binds are concidered cheating :D.

Overall I think you have created a pretty fun and finished game^^.

If you want you can rate our game too. We still need some ratings. You can find us here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/hoverfield-park-beat-haven
