Not a bad game. Good bright pixels, great music, and fast action. I can't say i'm in love with the control scheme. I don't like having the spacebar be the thrust. I would rather of had arrow keys move the ship, and have the mouse control the direction the ship is facing. Still, you did a great deal in this game. Missions? OMG! I think this game shows tremendous potential. Great entry!
Yeah, it was hard to decide between control scheme.. but the bmouse movement jsut felt better to me overall and the few testers i had, and was easier to implement and polish than having strafing and all that :). appreciate the feedback! thanks for playing! Spent alot of time working on the mission system!
Pixel art in its kewlest form, for a space - rage shooting. Very atmospheric, from menus to game all in all. Is it your graphic or assets?
Also, a bit massive size of program compared to that..
there’s 5 different songs, plus the art is about triple the resolution it appears as to be able to rotate the sprites without too much distortion. The art is all done by my team mate Creatorship games! And music by my buddy curly!
also thanks so much for playing!
Nice work! nice visual effects! i like this control so much! did you use physics?
its all motion_set() and motion_add() for the most part!
great work!
THANKS AGAIN! GLAD YOU HAD FUN! :)
I had to play it when I saw the title. Best game name in the jam xD It is exactly what it is called, "Space Shooty McBoom". I love the all the colorful ships and sounds, made me feel like a kid again playing those old space shooters. I really enjoyed this, well done!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you had a fun time!
Nice, well made game. Good luck in development, if planned =)
Hey thanks a lot! I plan on expanding the gameplay a bit more I think at the least!
Good stuff! I was working on a better ship when I got a crash though :(

I had just died, so picked up a new contract to go do trash, when it crashed. Overall fun stuff though.
thanks for the crash report! ill look into it. Glad you had some fun!
You're welcome! And when I click continue it keeps crashing, so sounds like my save it wrecked. Will have to try playing it again later! Is fun, will see if I can get further before save corrupts XD
I just realized I should have saved the save file and sent it to you, but I already restarted. If it happens again I'll send you the save file with the crash.
if it happens again and you grab the save file from local/appdata, id love to take a look at it and see whats happening!
Hello your game feels polish and nice, really nice touch to have missions even sometimes is was hard to find enemies, great entry!
Thanks! glad you had a bit of fun!
Nice! There seems to be a lot of content here! Great work! I did the destroy 5 enemy ships contract and was going to find the hangar when I died. I did like that it re-spawned me at the hangar though instead of making me start from the middle of space. haha. Good work! The ship is a tad uncontrollable but not terrible at all! It was pretty fun! My biggest complaint really is that I kept dying due to just trying to avoid things. haha. Maybe the asteroids shouldn't cause damage, but just make you bounce off of them instead? I think there is already enough enemies to kill me, I don't need help doing it myself! lol.
Overall a fun entry!! :D
thanks for playing! your entry was a blast!
Hey just wanted to post and say i made one post jam update that caused a mission to crash due to an unidentified sprite!
Hey, this is pretty cool! I had trouble finding the enemies for the "a Pirate's Life" mission, but fighting in general was fun. the sfx were waaay louder than the music, and it got a bit much at times, but I definitely enjoyed the color-shifting asteroids etc. Well done!
hey thanks for playing! The map is a bit larger than most think to seem at first, try exploring the diagonals and out by any mine fields for pirate stations!
Really cool. While the game is a little shallow mechanically, it has a really cool starting-off point for something cool, and the controls work really well, especially for an asteroids-style spaceship control.
thanks, it was a long two weeks! glad you had some fun!
Damn good job making a complete, fun game!
Thanks to you for all the sweet ships! Damn good job yourself!
