Nice art work and cool design. The movement did not feel very responsive and What is the "new seed" button for?

dimesto52 2020-04-19 19:18

this is for a new map =) after the first phase of travel

Ha! I like the story. Gotta get gramps some Jam.

Awesome retro esthetic. Its really cool that you have random maps. :)

Really nice work! You got a lot done within the time limit, and I think you have a lot of potential! :) A few comments:

- I loved the intro. Absurdness is always a winner. - The trading system. Bullet bounce, etc. - The graphics are nice, but could be even better with parallax scrolling and particle effect imo. - The music and sound is nice, but a bit repetitive.

Bugs: - You can fly infinitely offscreen if you like and avoid all danger. - The timer is an issue. Sometimes instead of going down to next minut, it stays on the same minute. I actually went in minus on my last stage :(

Overall great work!

thank you ! I'll think about it for future patch

The intro cutscene made me laugh! I also love the sound effects and music! The art on the vessel you fly is cool too! Great job! :slight_smile:

Try using a bit of momentum when flying for smoother controls. The spelling and grammatical mistakes put me off but perhaps you were going for ironic. I thought the concept was funny enough and liked the awesome grandpa and ship art. I thought the mechanic was really cool once I figured it out. A good effort with a lot of potential. I hope you keep working on it.

Player spaceship cannot shoot? There's no help about keys :( Just one way (and it's cool!) — enemies ship have friendly fire.

And I've laugh when my ship run into enemy ship... turn around) and make movement goes so fun xD

thank you, i am far from good in english. I think the music is not great

Nicely done, great entry.

tigercoder11 2020-04-26 12:45

what are the controls?

mcjammydodger 2020-04-26 12:52

I didn't really understand what I had to do at first.

I like the artwork and sounds. The story is quite funny too!

dimesto52 2020-04-28 00:59

use a joypade TigerCoder11 MCjammydodger thanx.

You can play without a controller by using the number keys. It was quite fun once I figured that out.

having to swap colors rapidly when two different colored bullets hit at the same time feels too hectic, maybe if the bullets always bounced back at the shooter, it would be easier. (edit) just realized you could move, in game tutorials, or controls being listed are a must.

dimesto52 2020-05-07 02:05

@rsninjadev I think about the keyboard controls

wiredoverload 2020-05-07 02:36

I played the game on a keyboard and I still had a fun time once I figured out the controls were arrows keys and the numbers 1-4. In general there was a ton that was packed into this game, I was really impressed! I agree with everything that @Anonymous listed but I would add that each individual level felt too long especially with the amount of levels you have to go through to get enough money. Additionally while the trading economy was pretty cool, I wish there were more items with similar prices, because you only want to buy the two most expensive things you can afford, anything less than that doesn't ever seem worth buying. Overall great game and good job!

Neat idea, it took me forever to work out the controls! Please write them somewhere next time

healthire 2020-05-07 14:59

Very impressive scope, there's a lot in here! Controls could be a bit smoother. The difficulty ramps up really quick.
