Fun little game, and I appreciate how small the file size is. Good work!

aret24 2018-08-13 05:57

Fun game!!!

frontlinesaint 2018-08-13 05:58

good fun good job

I think this game lacks an indicator of the HP of the player and enemies. The weapon seems is too powerful. But overall I'm liking what you did a good job!

marcel-oyuela-bonzani 2018-08-13 06:06

Simple and sweet. The shooting noise is a little annoying- there's really no reason to not hold Z the whole time so you've just got this high pitched scream constantly.

malif 2018-08-13 06:06

This was a fun game. I liked the use of the theme and how you can shoot to expand the play area once destroyed.

neuralcoder 2018-08-13 06:08

Nice idea. Maybe a force by the projectiles from Z could prevent Holding Z.

Good work with the theme, i like that. But the sounds of the spaceship shooting, is just so high and frequent that it becomes irritating. Another, less "i'm an old tv, but ten times faster" sound would have been much better. Also music very nice, when you can hear it. Maybe it's just me, but the spaceship doesn't really fit the graphics style here. But overall, nice game!

akros 2018-08-13 06:16

The game is very fun to play, but the disturbing fire sound doesn't encourage me to shoot))) So I feel like it would be nice to change it or make a little less loud

The weapon seems a bit odd to me (spraying small + feels a bit weird). I guess it's a design choice, but maybe some kind of blast wave would feel more powerful? Apart from that the game look quite good and makes fun! Maybe add a countdown for the next data crystal and increase friction a tiny bit.

Fun little game, one tip I would have would be to have the bullets inherit their initial velocity from the ship, then add their speed. It's a little odd when you can move at the same rate as your freshly fired rounds in my opinion. Other than that great little game!

awix 2018-08-15 07:09

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

siimer 2018-08-15 17:55

The shooting sound got annoying rather fast but otherwise it's a pretty solid game.

ossi 2018-08-15 18:15

Solid use of the theme! I really like how you can shoot back the void with your weapon. The sound effect for the shooting did hurt my ears quite a bit, I'd recommend playing that sound a limited number of times when you have a fire rate that high. Good job!

acuriosity 2018-08-15 19:16

Worked well, felt pretty balanced... strangely gratifying cleaning up the play space

conorod 2018-08-15 20:42

I liked this a lot! Loved the Newtonian physics movement and the fact that you could shoot back the environment.

corbak 2018-08-16 08:40

Cool little game but the shooting sound should be changed. I like the way the clouds are pregressing towards the center it looks really cool!

suchista 2018-08-16 09:39

It's kinda weird that sphaceship's speed isn't added to bullets'. Gameplay is fun and music is great :)

jacque006 2018-08-17 05:24

Bullets felt a bit spammy and didn't realize you could shoot the walls away til partway through. Loved the particle effects and the feel of a shrinking game of Asteroids.

leeloo 2018-08-17 17:11

Fun game. The fire sound is a little annoying when you hear it all the time and I wish there where lives, game over is too quick

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-17 17:27

I like the idea. Gameplay is fun, but it would be better if there was some kind of score. Audio is also good. Also bullets could be a bit faster. Liked the game overall!

cristihkj 2018-08-17 17:31

Nice game! Really cool and interesting! :D

slojanko 2018-08-17 17:52

Simple but fun, the theme is well implemented. My only criticism would be that the shooting sound effects are too loud. Overall nice job.

phlip45 2018-08-18 01:28

Gameplay is fun. Graphics are simple but functional. Who doesn't love particles! Firing sound really detracted from the game for me, had to mute the sound for that one, but is a simple fix if it is something that needs to be changed so only a minor quibble really. I think if the game was more hectic but the crystals showed up quicker I would have enjoyed it just that wee bit more. Great job though!

Have fun out there!

potatolain 2018-08-18 03:19

Not much to really add that hasn't been said, but I do want to call out that the controls actually felt a lot nicer than most games of this style for me - the ship floated (as one would expect) but not so much that it was hard to control. Thanks for a fun game!

antonin 2018-08-18 07:49

Really great game. The controls are nice and the graphics too even if they are simple. The fire sound is just too anoying and loud and I ended up muting my computer, sorry ! I would have found even cooler that the borders that became black stay as indestructible and that after a certain time you can not clean them again. Great work !

megalink 2018-08-18 10:00

Loved this game! Art style is simplistic but still looks pretty cartoony and great. Game concept is very innovative and well executed, the ship feels good to move. Only three tweaks I would make are to change the shooting sound effect, makes bullets move faster, and make the ship rotate quicker. Other then that, this game is fantastic! Great work, keep it up! :)

ekilibr 2018-08-18 14:18

Nice inertia in the movement. All the rest has been said, well done :)

vlassis 2018-08-18 14:38

The movement style is really good! The shooting sound is a little bit weird, though.

danny-sun 2018-08-19 09:25

Nice interesting funny game! Congrats!

mikethewayne 2018-08-19 12:45

Game is a lot of fun, brilliant movement controls, matches the theme perfectly, and has some interesting mechanics going on behind the scenes. Personally, I believe that the game could be made more enjoyable if it gave you a score, or some measure of how well you're doing. Overall though, fantastic and fun!

dcrdro 2018-08-19 17:11

Pretty fun idea and nice realization! Well done!

lintfordpickle 2018-08-19 20:29

Really nice balance in the game. The rate of progression of the smoke and the spawn rate of the crystals seems just about right to be challenging and the game **didn't** start off too slow. Did you use any engines or libraries for the game? It isn't too often that I see a game in c++. Well done!

endurion 2018-08-20 04:24

@lintfordpickle: No library, plain DirectX (8). Just a very very simple clone of my actual engine.

mao 2018-08-20 23:28

Pretty good game! I didn't really like the turn controls, I thought they were a little too floaty, but aside from that the gameplay was pretty tight.

krp 2018-08-23 19:42

I felt like the controls were a bit floaty too, but I still very much enjoyed it!

afendar 2018-08-28 18:40

Interesting idea of ​​using the theme. The graphics are simple but do the work. A good little game. Nice job!

andrei9 2018-09-03 16:50

Nice game! interesting graphics :thumbsup:
