This was really fun, although I didn't play to the end. This is probably something that you considered but didn't have time to implement, but I feel like the low ammo capacity (even after upgrading to eight shots) kept me running back and forth over long distances more than was interesting. Maybe offer a slow recharge while not moving as an upgrade?

You might have the version before I patched it, but the bullets are supposed to recharge once every ten seconds.

I like how the asteroid tiles change according to their surroundings and the cool "butterfly" shape that sometimes appears in the asteroids.

Just letting you know that the Mac version of your game doesn't work (therefore did not rate your game). I was keen to try your game as it looks like you've made great use of the tilesheet.

Developer

Darn. I wasn't able to test it since I don't have a mac, so I was just hoping it would work.

Amazing game! Shop prices feel like they need a little balancing. Also, geared up to go fight my first nest and found out you don't keep your inventory when your ship respawns. Will definitely be trying to beat this one later! I love it!

Developer

What do you think the prices should be?

maybe boost the selling price of brown and black stones to 50 and 75, instead of 25 and 50? Or make gold more common. Just to help the player progress a little faster

wow this game was amazing, took me just under an hour to beat. really good job though at the end the game got quite repetitive and at the end i was more or less driveing into baddys to collect the collectibles and dieing, might need a little bit of work but still very very fun!

GoodJob!
