Cool game! I wasn't able to kill the enemy space crafts
I loved the look of this game and it plays super smoothly. I think the theme was really on point as you never felt like you could get away from the small craft, and once the mothership got near only minor delays could be had. Wish there was some sound to go with it. I played almost a full round before I remembered the upgrades and repairs were a thing. Afterwards going through the tutorial reinforced what I learned over time in the first playthrough.
It's an immersive game with the right diffculty balanced for all types of players. The resource you get definitely feel right for the duration you play on the game. However, Hard mode could definitely be harder - by increasing the amount of Uranium you need for warp drive. It has simple approach - gather uranium in preparation for the mothership, gather resource to upgrade and repair, and if the mothership comes, you just have warp away. So fairly indepth game loop, I enjoyed it, good job!
I love the resource mining aspect. It made what would have been a pretty basic game a pretty unique one! I can definitely see it being expanded upon.
Cool game!! Decent prototype that you can do a lot with too! I didn't really understand the point of the warp drive and the mothership till after. I thought the warp drive simply teleported you around on the same map (it looked the same, so I thought I was on the same planet), and I also thought the mothership was a boss who I was waiting for, not vice versa haha. Decent jam entry though, you did a good job and I like it :)
Really liked this game.
Nice amount of multitasking required between fighting off the enemies and gathering resources to progress! The key to mining could possibly be moved from something other than E, just so the player can strafe to the right as well as mining at the same time. Nice variation of enemies and upgrades too though, good work :)
A few soundFX would really help the gameplay and give shooting a bit of weight. The UI could be improved, though it's a jam so it's not really a big problem. Otherwise a fun game.
It was fun. I liked improving my ship and collecting new resources. I did miss some music. But great game!
That felt really nice to play! I liked how enemy ships fell onto the ground after death -- almost like ragdolling in games of humanoids. And then to be able to harvest those ships -- great design!
I think some sort of warp animation would have added to the experience so it doesn't feel like loading the same-ish world again after warp.
I actually played this one to the end. :D Cool game.
Being a jam game, I really thought it should have some audio to give it some life. It's a fun RPG-type shooter, although I think the biggest issue stems from the loose connection to the theme- it wasn't really explained how I was to "delay" the mothership. The balancing is done very well though, and other than the aforementioned flaws, I enjoyed my time! Good job :D
It was pretty fun to play. I thought the gameplay could have been improved by making enemies and their bullets slower (so you could actually try to dodge instead of having to tank all the time), but making them do much more damage. My strategy was to just go all in on shields, tank everything while I collect, and then run away to let shields regenerate. I didn't warp after the first time, because it was easy enough to survive with the mothership around. Eventually I won somehow, not quite sure how (did I kill the mothership?)
Pretty fun shooter, although I did also manage to kill the mothership before I was even able to warp. I like the upgrade system
Wow! I have a lot of fun with this game! Nice entry!
Cool game! I really liked the polygonal artstyle. The whole evading a big ship thing kinda reminds me of Sinistar (which is a good thing!)
This game is very unique and very fun to play! I would like to see a health bar on the Mothership because it has so much health. But all in all 10/10! Would play again! Also if it said what difficulty you were on in the end screen that would be cool.
