Interesting game, but pretty hard from the beginning, especially because of the controls. The forward direction stay constant from the start of the movement regardless of rotation, no lateral non-dash movement and fire is SPACE, not LMB - those are very hard to get adjusted to. I think with just better controls the game will thrive - it's beautiful, there are game systems to explore, the combat seems like it would be fun if maneuvering the ship wasn't such a pain.
Thank you for playing! Others have mentioned this, so we do plan to rework the movement entirely to make the game easier to play.
It looks promising, but unfortunately I wasn't really able to enjoy it. The shop buttons doesn't work so refuelling and upgrading my ship didn't work.
There's some cool visuals, especially the black holes. There could also be some more dynamics to the music, so it would change during battle, but it's nice as it is.
The game isn't really all that theme oriented but it's still nice.
Thanks for the feedback, we hope to improve our game after the jam.
I haven't heard anyone else say the shop wasn't working, did you have enough money to purchase upgrades/refuel, and were you able to open the shop in the first place? If so then this could be a bug we didn't find during testing.
I was able to open the shop. The thing is, ui said I had 9999 money, but I wasn't able to buy anything. I thought that maybe it was a display issue, but even after fighting more ships I still wasn't able to buy anything. The buttons highlighted but nothing changed after clicking on them. That's all I can say. Hope this helps!
Oh okay that makes sense, thanks. You don't actually get money from killing enemies, you have to kill the enemies that are defending a planet, and then destroy the mining sites at that planet to gain money. But due to the UI saying 9999 I can understand the confusion, I'll look into that bug. Thanks for this feedback, it helps a lot!
