Now I am wondering why I didn't think of doing this. Awesome job dude!
Really fun, didnt realize i was supposed to choose the better parts, but once i did the game picked up and was enjoyable
Commenting again for updated ratings. (Is that how it works? IDK)
Definitely needs a small tutorial text at start, I didn't realise I could get part of the enemies.
Other than that, I loved the name, gameplay and the music. Excellent job.
PS. If you add controller support in a later update, it would be legendary :)
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! If anyone needs any help when playing, refer to the readme.
Controls are a bit tough to deal with, but otherwise cool! Any chance of a mac port?
If you want something to beat, try and beat 1204 years with 45 kills ;) https://twitter.com/NikSudan/status/240023026245193728/photo/1/large
Really addicting but fun to play! Could have used some stars in the background, though and a tutorial.
Great game, very original, looks beautiful, and the game is very fun too! One of the best submissions i've seen.
Great! i loved it! the only problem really, was that my computer often froze and i lost control of the ship for a while, the computer beeps for a bit and then you regain control. really cool upgrading. :)
Pretty cool, although I wish I had radar or something, because it got a bit boring to just fly around without knowing where the other ships were.
Pretty cool little entry, the controls are smooth and the graphics are better than most, but I had issues with the moust controls - 2 or 3 mins in, the mouse seemed to unfocus, and the game stopped responding to its movement. I could still use the mouse button controls, though.
Great visuals and fun to upgrade ship as you play. Really good submission.
I dislike that almost dead ships can leave the arena. Very good otherwise.
Pretty awesome, great graphics, great game. My one gripe is that, I know the ship gets easier to control as you play and get new stuff, but that doesn't mean the controls should be awful from the get-go. Because they are, in my opinion, very annoying at first.
It's an incredibly addicting and fun game, but it's in desperate need of a minimap. I had no issues with running the program.
Can you beat 2300 years 66 species destroyed?
