Great game, I couldn't beat the boss in second try... :P I guess I'll have to try again!

@nate427 Well, you have to have XNA 4.0 Redistributable installed. Here's link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27598
Thanks for good comments! I'm really looking forward to next LD compo - hope I will finish my next game in time...
@Saxon Douglass Yeah, I love it too... one couldn't believe how easy it is to create those effects - it's just two triangles (mesh of two triangles) that change colors of corners depending on current space shuttle altitude (XNA already have support for vertices built in so this was peace of cake)
@jsjwooowooo I added that shock effect in the end (it was too "quiet" without that)... about the physics, it's a simple torque system using direction, current speed and gravity force that added to speed so velocity will change over time... I never worked with any physics engine so all this is from my high school classes I took :D
@caranha Thanks for advice! I definitely need to do that next time... :)
I don't' own Mac computer, but it looks interesting!
I love it!
Great game! I like graphics, great done!
I have a game like this on iOS, Osmos I think. You could add some kind of restart button... interesting concept of speed, size and complexity.
Great game! I like snake games (I did one too "Aeon" for this compo) but you have to work on your controls. I assume that you check for key on each snake update, that is not right, you should check for keys on each update and apply last direction on snake update. In that way you would avoid "lag".
I never understood RPGs, but you have some nice graphics!
Great game you have there! Shame you didn't manage to get sound int it...
It is nice. A bit short, but nice.
Nice graphics, sounds from Age of Empires?
kittens ;)
Those rockets that fly randomly do way too much damage, and those ships are too predictable. For rockets, you could add some kind of indicator of where it would appear because if it stays like this, it's purely on luck. Needs some good sound effect and background music.
It is fun, but i don't see too much evolution except leveling?
Great idea!

@VDZ I was planing to put sound in game but at the end I didn't know how to record it from application I got (NodeBead). About sound effects when token is collected, that's a bug I didn't even notice. I know difficulty rises greatly and game is little slow at the beginning but I didn't manage to put any load/save mechanism in game.
I have added "checkpoints" to game just so that everyone can pass first part of the game. I know there shouldn't be any changes done to game after submission but this is not game feature - it's helper. I realize game is be hard, but if I set it to be easy there would be no fun.
I't ok, you could implement some sort of indication how is building going because as it is now, you just pile up and hope for the best.
Great idea, nice game... I didn't manage to play it through cause it starts to lag after a while (i guess you draw rectangle of textures on every move - this must be optimized)
Thanks for feedback, I'll look into that. Can you by any chance install .NET 4.0 and try again? Thanks.
