Fun little game. Nothing too innovative but a complete game. The score display seems to be out of the screen in smaller resolutions.

Maybe make it speed up after a while?

hungare 2018-08-16 15:59

@endurion Thank you! Yeah I didn't do a whole lot of testing with the resolutions, and I should have made some sort of progressive difficulty.

Great game! It kinda gets ruined because of the fact that there are no effects like particles or screen shake when the play dies or moves up and down! You could also give the player some animations! But other than that, great job! :D

A hypnotic experience! Not sure if it's all the dots whizzing by or the chill soundtrack (slightly out of beat?), but it was very relaxing. Also, your interpretation of the theme was my first thought when it was announced! Thanks for the experience.

EDIT: forgot to add - unity makes it extremely easy to build to webgl. I'd suggest doing that if you want more people to play the game since it's much much easier to open a browser window than to download things.

It's a cute game at all! I think it could be a great mobile game if you put some animations and polish some more.

Congratulations and keep the good work!

@cristihjk Thanks! Yeah your right, I could have added a bit more juice to it. @erikiene Thank you! I should probably get around to doing a WebGL build too. @chicomcastro Much appreciated! I've never published for mobile before, but I'll definitely think about it.

I wanted to play, but my computer is 32-bit. It's not a negative, but I can't play many of the games here because most builds are for 64-bit.

The parallax on the background and the boosting effects are nice touches. If you want to add improvements next time I'd suggest making the game more difficult - there just aren't many objects on screen to dodge. I'd also suggest adding some objects which move in different ways (e.g. a sine wave) to increase the variety.

@Petra sorry about that. @divinenephron Thank you! I agree I should have added some more elements to the gameplay to make it more challenging.

Nice chill game! The music was really good, and the parallax background was a really neat touch to the graphics. I think not having such long gaps between obstacles would have made the game more engaging at the start.

Take it literally, huh? It's a nice and chill game after all.Maybe a little polish like animation or a little change of pace will make it better.

Nice entry! The music really helps you get into the game, I also really liked the parallax stars in the background. But maybe some jet effects when you`re moving would be cool?

Nice game, I hope to see more updates and improvments sooner. If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42

@hungare The game was simple yet nice but can be improved a bit more by adding some more obstacles (that can be moving also) to make it more difficult and more interesting to play.Do try our game too and rate us if you love playing it,also leave your feedback in the comment box.

IT was simple but way too easy I don't know if it was a bug but there would be large swats where I wouldn't see any planets. I thin it's randomized but with the wrong parameters

erkberg 2018-08-29 20:21

Quite the simple game, but it is nice for what it is. The controls work really well. It's a little bit on the easy side, sometimes I waited for quite some time until the next obstacle came my way, but this is just parameters needing some finetuning. Some more gameplay elements or a final goal would've been nice. Still, I enjoyed playing, good job!

ohmmus 2018-09-03 05:54

Great work! I enjoyed my multiple attempts to beat my previous score... I suppose my only feedback is to put the character a bit farther to the left so I can have more time to change direction in case a group of planets is completely blocking the upper or lower areas. Overall though, a good, solid entry!
