Nice work! I thought it was a cool touch how you shoot things in the start menu to activate them. Great way to teach the controls.

This game was much more challenging than I thought, the pirates can sneak up on your cargo ship fast and it's hard for me to defend. It'd be interesting to see a sort of radar so that I can detect incoming pirates, or if the ship has more acceleration so I can really feel myself reaching top speed (that way you can add a boost powerup also if desired!).

The bit of story I saw also added more depth to the game. Keep it up!

I liked the mood and music but I didn't get very far in the game. Great job though

schsam 2020-04-20 05:08

Really fun game! I love the setting (space + quests + fighting) and the idea of having a cargo ship to defend was great. FYI it crashed after the first quest on the WebGL client for me. One thing that would have made it more fun, for me, would be if the ship had some momentum so that it would fly around more physically.

Nice game. It did crash on me but I liked the controls, and the missions. Also nice mouth sounds! Wish there was a soundtrack but good jam game :).

@jetthesimon @schsam @plantleaf @sayumeki Thanks for the comments. The crassing is a new thing for me. Need to check that out.

Good job, unfortunately the game froze up when I tried to dock, but I was having fun up until then. The game feels pretty relaxing.

I wasn't able to try the two-player mode but I imagine it would be pretty cool! I had some difficulty destroying pirate stations, it felt like my gun and bombs weren't doing enough damage to them. The two enemy types I saw (one that charges at you and one that fires at range) played together pretty nicely. I also think some sort of radar or a way to move faster would help out!

Realy interesting game) Despite the graphics)

juako 2020-04-20 07:22

Nice! the shooting sound draw a smile in my face. This game would improve a lot with a graphic map instead of the text!

howlingshame 2020-04-20 07:25

Game freezes at the start.

retti01 2020-04-20 07:25

Thanks @mincemeat @mbc @evolving @juako The map was on the list next, but I ran out of time. The crashing that people are talking in earlyer comments doesn't happen to me. I don't know what is up with that.

mehrdadsh 2020-04-20 07:29

this is interesting game

plantprogrammer 2020-04-20 07:42

Hmm, the game keeps crashing on me, so I won't rate it. But I'd like you to know, that you had me crying when I heard that shooting sound :laughing:

lalada 2020-04-20 08:19

Lonely Universe. I can't found pirate stations :joy:

retti01 2020-04-20 08:45

HI all. Thanks @mehrdadsh @plantleaf @lalada for comments. la.11937 lo.16184 ;D The crassing should be gone now. There was a proplem with the cargo ship deleting itself. Only happened on HTML. @jetthesimon @schsam @plantleaf @sayumeki @mincemeat @mbc @evolving @juako

Great game!

I got tired of clicking the mouse button to shot though, maybe you should try with automatic shoting while the button is clicked down.

And lastly, technically latitude and longitude only apply to spheres and I don't think space it's one :P

retti01 2020-04-20 08:56

@onesvenus Eart is flat and space is a sphere O-o.

jonah 2020-04-20 09:34

fun to play

nice that you have an AI buddy

👍good job

bearwey 2020-04-20 09:34

I love space games and you made a very charming one! The shooting sound caught me off guard so that was a nice giggle to be had. Great job on this!

retti01 2020-04-20 10:09

Thanks @jonah @bearwey

plopmenz 2020-04-20 10:49

Nice game! I would like some system like a minimap or arrows to see where i need to go / pirates nearby. Most of all nice sound effects! :D

alininavcisi 2020-04-20 11:54

it is cute

johnjoemcbob 2020-04-20 18:00

I love the sounds, and the shooting to use the menu is a great touch!

jeremyfa 2020-04-20 19:53

Interesting entry with a pretty cute style! I wish I spent a bit less time traveling between stations but overall it works great, good job!

fizzget 2020-04-20 21:42

the audio in this game is immersive! i was lost in space for ages and only pulled myself out of my daze when i realised i had been flying in a straight line for 5 minutes and hadnt found the pirate base! (then i saw the location system and it all made sense). nice game. keep flying.

kunonooni 2020-04-21 02:15

The AI player is actually quite good and I laughed when I first fired my gun. The music sounds very familiar to me but I can't quite place it. All in all it was a very nice game.

retti01 2020-04-21 06:00

@plopmenz @alininavcisi @johnjoemcbob @jeremyfa @fizzget @kunonooni Thanks for the comments. I did a last minute change to the speed hour before the time was up. The ships moved two times the speed, but the drone ships were too fast then. No human reaction time could have reacted to that. Raidar would make this possiple.

timetravelhamster 2020-04-21 13:13

Sound and music are great. The mood is nice. Something i missing is lack of feedback when something happen. Good Job.

2020-04-21 20:50

Fun game. I liked the controls, the music and I loved the "piu piu" . I liked how seemlessly the enemies appears, it seemd natural and I didn't had to hunt too hard or felt overwhelmed.

thedashdude 2020-04-23 06:08

So I talked to the first station, went to go kill some pirates, got distracted and visited the furthed up station, couldn't interact with it but did managed to travel entirely through it, returned to the orignal to have the dude not pay me, decided to pay the farthest down station a visit, he asked for way too much cargo, so I decided to explore the corners of the map. I hit bottom right, bottom left, then took a detour offscreen on my way to top left and crashed. (HTML)

Gameplay was pretty basic, but honestly, telling the player where the stations were was a brilliant idea. It felt really good to explore, knowing that something was out there. I think the best thing to do with the game is to lean into that. Have the stations sell maps, and have there be little unmarked outposts with shops and loot, maybe just cool looking nebulas. I don't know what all you could do, or want to do, but that's where I'd go.

I had a lot of fun with this one, just because it kind of let me do whatever I wanted. Nice work.

@timetravelhamster @thedashdude thanks for the comments. I hope to continue working on this project. In later date.
