good job! i liked that aiming was connected to steering, so you could circle around the station while shooting the targets!

Fun game. I want to work on a space shooter myself one of these days.

Thank you, and you should!!

Very cool submission! Great graphics, sounds and overall vibe. Well done! I’ve rated your game. I hope that you’ll check out and rate my submission as well. :-)

Really good work for the time allowed.

Great fun game

Developer

Thanks kindly!

Great job on this. The music was perfect for the mood. I had a hard time knowing if I was hitting things or getting hit, heath bar would have been great. 

Darn game jams and their limited time, am I right?

Great job, love to see space shooters

Submitted(+1)

I love the music!
Really impressive audio design!
I love the overall concept, to be honest, and the fact that it's a space shooter is a massive plus in my books.

Please consider also playing, rating, and reviewing my game when you have a moment!
I would love the opportunity to grow and improve.

Developer

Thanks very much! :)

A space shooter for a game jam? Nicely done in such a short time! I would like to see the impact of my bullets in the turrets, because I didn't knew if I was actually shooting them (or/and maybe a health bar?). Anyway, I passed a nice time in space, coming back to life a lot ;-)

Developer(+1)

Yeah I definitely wish I'd had just a little more time to add damage feedback. Will have to do so in a future build :)

Thanks

Submitted(+1)

That was fun :D Reminds me Star Fox series. Also shooting sound is pretty cool

Developer

Thanks! You should've heard it back before I turned the volume on it way down, and all the clones firing at the same time made my ears bleed :P

Submitted(+1)

Pretty starwarsy music! Loved the vibe of the game! Keep going!

I still needed a moment until I realised, that I'm helping me :D

Please rate my game too, if you are in the mood :)

Developer(+1)

Lol right? It was like one note away from being the imperial march

But, CC0 is CC0. Also thanks for your kind words :)

Submitted(+1)

Amazing, blows my mind that one person did this!!

Controlling the ship may take some time to learn but definetly adds to the challenge + enjoyability :D 

Developer

That's very kind, thank you :)

Submitted(+1)

Watching the clones blast stuff was quite fun!

Submitted(+1)

Playing this I learned I'm probably not too great of a spacship captain :D But still had ton of fun, clean visuals, great music and sfx and fun story to boot.

Overall solid entry.

Developer

Thanks so much :)

As a space fan I love this one! Great visuals and music. Ship might need to be slowed down a bit or the turn speed lowered as it felt a little hard to control, but overall its a great take on the idea!

Submitted(+1)

A bit hard to control but visual, SFX and music is great!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, I thought it was very difficult at the start, until I had a small army helping me out!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool! I got a little confused with he cloning at first, but than I got it!

Nicely done!

Developer

Thank you! There was so much I wish I could have done to explain the mechanic, but just didn't have time. Thanks again.

Submitted(+1)

I like the graphics, the music and the effects!  The cloning idea is great!!

It is a little too difficult to play, for me...  I died rotating like a peg-top and respawned rotating like a peg-top, only to be killed seconds after.

I really liked the idea and the game.  With some more time to test it and to adjust the control speed and the turrets damage, it will be a very good game.

And congratulations again for the good idea of the cloning mechanic!

Developer

Thanks so much :)

I couldn't get past the intro dialogue. Not sure if its because I have a wide screen monitor? 

Art work looks good though!

Developer

You're absolutely right, I had the wrong canvas setting applied, and have now fixed it if you ever want to try it again.

Thanks!

I also agree that the turrets are quite the bullet sponges - that, and/or our shots miss a lot: The reticle doesn't look accurate at all. The fact that the clones seem to handle the turrets way better than I do also reinforces that point... (The clones are a neat idea, by the way!)

I didn't understand what does toggling turning does... Does it lets our ship "drift" (We fly towards one direction, while facing another)? If that is the case, I'd preferred to have the camera to turn with the ship as it happened - otherwise you won't see what are you pointing /shooting at, thus defeating the maneuver's whole point.

Anyways, congrats on your submission!

Developer

You're right, they had about twice the HP they should have - I found during development that once you get a few clones going, the game ended way too quickly, but I've now patched it so there are more turrets, with about half the HP. Not a perfect solution but I ran out of time before I was able to add more configurations of enemies.

Yes the player aim function was pretty bad but I had to rush to submit in time. Now that I've since slept, I was able to correct it :D If you play again, please let me know what you think. There's still a quirk with (I think) ParticleSystem stopping if you fly too close to a collider, but I've no idea how to fix that. Let me know if you do :P

The toggle, haha... I was heavily inspired by Freelancer, which (along with most of the genre) have a flight mode toggle so you can interact with UI without veering off course - but I scoped too big and ended up not having any UI interaction, so it's just a hold-over from earlier. Expanding it into a proper drift mechanic sounds cool, though!

Thanks for your feedback, I'll check your game out shortly :)

Submitted

Sure, I'll check out the updated version!

Speaking of Freelancer, you can actually drift in that game - "Kill Engine" command (somewhat badly worded, I think?) lets you do that!

Developer(+1)

Oh! Either it's been too long or I just never knew that lol

Anyways; I've checked out your second version, and managed to beat the game this time. Nice job!
I'm using Unreal Engine, and I have no idea on Unity's workflow, so... sorry, I don't have an idea either...

Developer

Ohh haha, no worries, and thanks :)

Submitted

Turrets weren't taking any damage, just shooting at nothing I guess? The flight feels good though, and the music and SFX were nice.

Developer

They do, but they were too tanky and I ran out of time to add visual/audio feedback for them taking damage - I've now retuned their health, though! Thank you :)
