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!
Nice, well made game. Good luck in development, if planned =)

I had just died, so picked up a new contract to go do trash, when it crashed. Overall fun stuff though.
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.
Hello your game feels polish and nice, really nice touch to have missions even sometimes is was hard to find enemies, great entry!

Neon of the dark RealmNice! 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

Luminous SlashHey, 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!

(((Sonic Bloom)))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.
