Great job!

Feel like the coins spawn quite often inside the asteroids, and the asteroids hit box is bigger than it should be. Liked the ads, but the game itself could have used a bit more love.

Good graphics, and fun ads. This is likely the first time I've enjoyed mobile ads XD

Very nice and simple game, I played for 5 minutes and collected 21 coins which is not enough for the first upgrade so maybe up the coin spawning rate. Had fun playing, thank you for the game!

Love the mobile ads, full marks for humor. I had to zoom out in order to play on my laptop, not the end of the world, but wondering how big your dev monitor is. Wish there was a way to get to the shop from inside the game.

Great job! The ads are really funny! :)

OMG I finally got the blasters and they make the game 100 times more fun!! Good thing I have a good internet connection.

Apphole sounds like a wonderful place, I want in on it! The ads and the whole IAP parodying was fun. The best part about the gameplay was when a boulder and a coin spawn close and you have to touch one while avoiding the other.

Neat little runner, liked the momentum of the movements, the only complaint - hitboxes feel a little too stiff.

todd-mitchell 2020-10-05 20:56

Some of you are rightly pointing out the collisions. The asteroids actually have a very tight hit box, but the ship itself went through a redesign that made it much less rectangular and it also needed a tighter hit box to match. Next version! Thanks all.

Simple but polished, with great humor! Had a lot of fun with this. I agree with some of the comments about coins hiding behind asteroids and it being a little too easy to collide with an asteroid, but it looks like you already plan to address it. Great game overall!

Those were the best advertisements ever! I loved that bit of humor thrown in.

Funny game! I have the same issues that have already been stated. I couldn't play long enough to get more than the first upgrade. But it was a fun and well polished experience. Nice job!

I like the concept of making it like a stereotypical phone game with the ads and the in app purchases, but I can't say I had the patience to collect enough coins to get any of them ;)

Easy game, nice ads.. I didn't get too many coins .. was too repetitive after a bit.

fabdynamic 2020-10-06 18:42

One really cool mechanic I like from this is that you have to buy even the most basic features like shooting a gun from your ship. I'm still trying to save up for the 50 upgrade. I love your sense of humor in the ads and the presentation. The only feedback I can think of is the window size is too large by default.

Question: I got 51 coins but couldn't buy anything. Did I miss something or is this a real iPhone app simulator (where crap like that actually happens)? :)

Cool concept that makes fun of mobile games market. The coins for some reason get counted only after a second you collected them, and if you died immediately after then it won't count.

And I feel a bit dumb, because I actually collected 50 coins. It took me forever...

todd-mitchell 2020-10-06 19:26

@theogen The other commenters are partially responsible. :laughing: don't spend too much time on the coins players!

zachsbutt 2020-10-06 19:45

Nice ads!

baran 2020-10-06 20:53

8600 Highscore, and god these ads were gold! Also, I played so long to get to 50 coins...

todd-mitchell 2020-10-06 21:18

I think @baran is the leader in the clubhouse!

neowedge 2020-10-07 17:18

It's funny, but a little slow. Nice anyway, good job!

thewinrawr 2020-10-08 02:16

I really liked the ads, they add a lot of humor into the game. I think the asteroid hitbox is too big and the coins spawn inside the asteroids pretty often. I'm also not sure what the coins do, they spawn pretty slowly and I collected 20 of them but couldn't find a shop or anything.

Neat little game, could do with some more actual gameplay. Maybe letting the player move up and down or letting them loop to the other side of the screen would let you throw more asteroids in and have them do more dodging. Collected some coins but the shops prices are insane. Maybe have more coins and asteroids spawn the longer the player has survived or something.
