I love it ! Well done !
Hey, I can't access the URL, is it down?
@juan-matias no, working for me. can you try again?
This is for sure the first time I've been a spaceship that can eat things!
@juan-matias added mirror link to ITCH.io https://virtualdimensions.itch.io/deep-space-3
@mechamew Thanks, I wanted to do sometihng special :)
Aaaaaahhh, a spaceship with teeth!!! I can't help laughing.
SO much asteroid lol
@carpaccino honestly i spent more time drawing them then coding them..
om nom nom nom
Very impressive for 12 hours and fiendishly difficult! I have no idea how to get to level 2 :)
@ditam Thank you, kind soul. Here is a tip, line up rockets, eat them all, burst the boss. Orange and Blue give you +20% dmg and +20% respectively for 5 seconds AND they stack. So you can burst it quickly. Mars is a little crazier but rovers there are colored the same way and give the same bonuses. Good luck!
Funny graphics and a spaceship with teeth. I like it. Well done, Too_Lazy_Cat!!!
This game is difficult. I felt as if, somethings took a while to do. Like eating bullets, and shooting. I suggest maybe experimenting with the pace of your game. Otherwise, it is a good game.
@thewhiterice yeah, it was way too easy when the level was done, rockets were turning too slow and moving too fast so they couldn't hit a standing target. You could literally press LMN and don't move to win. So I added a coroutine that changes turn rate and speed over a lifetime so they aim better for standing targets and I think that tipped a balance way too much. Now missles turn much better at the start and slow down after 2 seconds and slow down even more after 5. Definately need more experimenting.
Haha I love the angry planets, gives them a lot of personality Using a keyboard button would be better for shooting
Eating enemy missiles is a smart idea! I had a hard time aiming my mouth at the missiles, maybe a smooth acceleration would help.
I really like the gameplay mechanics but the ramp isn't quite right. The eating mechanic is really cool when it works but it is so slow and now exactly clear when to eat them. Maybe make it a little faster and more obvious when you can safely run into them. Maybe start with smaller simpler enemies. It felt like I was starting at a boss fight. Love the graphics and sounds!
I love the mechanics where you can eat the projectiles! If I may give a suggestion, try giving a reason for eating the projectiles, like giving a power up or restoring some health. Otherwise great job!
Very funny idea , I like it a lot ! Congrats !
@mharitsnf they do just that. Blue - attack speed, orange damage, red - extra life. I was thinking to add it on a screen but that wasn't very high prio and i've ran out of time.
Fun game. The eating animation is a bit slow, making it hard to missiles in comparison of the fire rate of the planet. It is a nice twist tho'. Nice job !
Cool game, I love the concept of eating projectiles, and the eating animation is very amusing. The difficulty ramp could probably use some tuning, and the eating mechanic is a bit awkward to time correctly.
A spaceship that can eat things? Wonderful! I really like this game because of the fun mechanic, and the art/animations are very polished.
Although, the time window in which you can eat projectiles seems quite small. Initially I was trying to run into rockets while the mouth was still opening, and it felt a bit inconsistent. I suggest you could make the ship flash when it is ready to eat projectiles, to make it clearer.

@generic-games, glad you had fun. Consider it a payback for all time i've spent flying your elevator :)
Ha! This is kinda wacky and whimsical. I have to admit that from looking at the screenshots I thought the game was going to be very basic. But there's quite a bit going on and it has a lot of character. It starts off feeling a little unfair but once you get your head around how to play it becomes more challenging than unfair. This one is a little hidden gem.
Good stuff :8ball:
