Very good game (Overall: 4.5). I had a good time plying it. Nice ideas and graphics. The different typs of enemys are brilliant. But I think way to hard. I often play games like this and i was very hard for me. I think it's better for ludum dare games if they are easy. But as I sayed before: A very good game :).

@davidus Thanks! When I converted game to HTML it got exactly 20% faster for some reason (from 60 frames to 72), at least on my end - this made game a fair bit harder. However even on normal speed game is still difficult and requires a bit of luck, so I'm thinking about decreasing difficulity a bit if it becomes a major concern.

Thanks for the game, nice little game, the AI is not really good, but the tracking missiles in the third wave became a real chalange.

Very good!

Neat shmup! I really miss some sounds tho :( Would be nice if you could add some post mortem.

Nice job in this one screen shot game! I had fun, the art was nice and mood was on point! I miss the sound though.

@belug23 Thanks for checking out my game! AI is definitely on a more simple side, but I think it does it job well :slight_smile:

@qiqrcoisa Thank you :smile:

@sadsmile @enjoy-the-tale I will try to add sounds, but I am not very good at making them. However I could propably use SFXR and I think sounds created by that program would fit very nicely. And thanks for playing!

Really like the enemy AI that copy your behavior from time to time :) Its really has a potential. You might improve the game, add some music and SFX, more particle effects and it will be the complete game! Great job!

@alex-kpojb Thanks for playing! All of things you mentioned are planned when I finally find time to work on my game. Maybe except the music but I will try to figure something out.

Nicely done!

The controls are snappy and good. The colors are contrasting... Overall a great game.

tamail 2019-05-11 18:30

I really enjoyed the smooth controls and the graphics! It was a long time since I played such a game! :)

@ancientpear @whynotyt @tamail Thank you for playing my game!

cristihkj 2019-05-16 15:43

The game is nice and has potential! Good job! :)

@cristihkj Thank you :slight_smile:

Played the first stage. I really enjoyed your enemy movement and different fire types. It felt like I was constantly under pressure to get out of the way, which is brilliant! However, once I got the choice to purchase something, I had no idea what any of the upgrades did. Some sound effects would've gone a long way too. But your programming was solid. :)

sebity 2019-05-18 17:51

This is a good game and has lots of potential. You should continue working on this game improving AI adding soundfx and music, game balancing and polish. You can then turn into a great game. Well Done!

Neat game. Enemy movement took some getting used to, but there's a good variety of enemy attacks and movement patterns. It would be nice to have a "damage" animation on the enemies, so you can tell your attack lands. Nice job for 72 hours.

Thank you everyone for 20 ratings!

@samlecrator The item description appears when you obtain an item, but not before. I decided to take an aproach of other similar and have player learn what items do by picking them up so in their next run they have this extra knowledge. However this might not be best design for ludum dare game. As for sound effects they are already done in post ludum dare version. And thank you!

@sebity Thank you! That's what I am currently doing in my spare time, sound effects are already in place as well as some graphic effects too.

@jeremy-ryan Enemy damage animation along with sound effect are already done in the post ludum dare version and now I'm working on health bars. Also, thanks :slight_smile:
