Hey, you need to update your download and link section. I can't play the game without it.

Edit: Hey, I got around to playing your game and it was pretty fun. My highscore was 17, not sure if that's good or not but it took me 10 playthroughs to get it.

My advice is to fix the health so you die after 3 hits instead of 2, and to possibly tell the player the controls or something. I may just be stupid but it took me a while to get that the green balls heal me- I thought they were how I get points at first.

I'm trying to put a drive link but that won't work so I need to get my head around itch.io before I can send it.

link added!

The ship was a bit hard to control, but perhaps that's because I personally prefer twin stick shooter control scheme. But then after playing a few times I realized that I didn't need to move that much, I just need to rotate in place while shooting the enemies.

Anyways, I noticed that no one has ever rated your game as of my writing this comment. You might want to rate and give feedback to several more games to also be rated by more people :smile:

I didn't have much time after the jam so I am trying to get stuck into it now!

I admire people who make it solo!

pretty neat game. pretty hard too (or i'm not really that good with tank controls :)). good job on making this game!

Just added the link to the scratch player!

Nice, however, I got a very low fps in the scratch one and the cause was the enemy quantity.

alastairwyn 2018-08-25 08:36

Yea, that's why I ported it to an .exe file

The scratch veersion works fine for me ! :)

I had to say that the concept is good (reminds me a bit of old "Asteroid" arcade game) but the ship is hard to control with a keyboard :/ It should be better with twin stick or with WASD/Arrows and the ship pointing in the mouse direction ;)

In any case, congrats for this ;)

Scratch can't handle controller inputs but thanks for the feedback!

The online version didn't worked for mer, but the .exe is ok ! Fun game, i like the way you use the theme !
