Thank you! Funny enough, I actually have your game in my "Games that looking interesting and need ratings" collection that I haven't finished yet! I your game icon and it looked really cool! I will definitely be dropping by!
Bugs aside, I really like how you used the space for your menu (pun intended!). I think there's a lot of room to grow. Good job!
I hope to expand on the game soon! The menu design has been a wild success, so I will probably be expanding in it in some way!
I really appreciate the time you took to comment and leave feedback! Thank you!
I dunno why but the game keeps resetting adn everytime the music plays on top of the existing one which it's a bit sad cause the music slaps. I love the mechanich and the playable main menu tho!
Unfortunately, there was a game-breaking bug that got by me when I submitted! There is a workaround if you read the game's description, but regardless, I grateful you still gave the game a whirl! Thanks for the feedback!
Fantastic concept with a really cool main menu! Aside from the restart bug, I think it has great potential!
Thanks, Blocker226! I hope to continue development after the Jam is over!
Nice little game ! The concept is cool, the gameplay is enjoyable and I TRUELY DEEPLY LOVE how the "menu" is integrated with the gameplay and has the role of a tutorial. That is GENIUS, really. The fact that the first screen looks like a normal menu, but when you click on "tutorial" you realize that it actually moves the ship and you actually were in the game the whole time, that's a 9000 IQ move.
The restart bug is really a pain however. Even if I know what causes it, it's difficult to avoid. I'll come back after the jam to play the fixed version =).
Thanks for the kind words, SpicyFrog! I am so pleased that everyone has found the menu so intuitive and fun! I will be updating the game as soon as I can, so thanks for sticking around! I might even have some extra content in the game by then!
I enjoyed the concept of the game, similar to landing toy helicopters. Every time the game restarts whether due to losing all the lives or clicking on specific spots on the playfield, the audio would restart and play over the top of itself.
The restart of the game is completely broken right now. I recommend just refreshing the browser if you play again. I will have a fixed version out when the jam ends. Thanks for your feedback!
The UI integration (tutorial and menus) are FANTASTIC! It denotes a lot of design knowledge. Also the gameplay is fun too. Very good job!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm very pleased you found my game to be enjoyable and well designed!
@IdeasPerSecond great game loved the tutorial part, I think the ship moves a little too fast but overall good game :D
Thanks for the feedback! Your Input will really help me to make AstroDrift a better game in future releases! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
It's pretty cool how you designed the menu as part of the game. The controls were good, but the acceleration was a little bit too strong for my taste. I also liked your music selection.
Thanks! Everyone has seemed to enjoy how the ship feels, and as for speed and acceleration, I plan on adding new ships to the game where both are limited. Also, I was pleased with how the music worked in this game, and I'm happy you liked it too! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
nice game.
Thanks for playing it!
Awesome game! Really banger controls, and the art work looks neat as well! Amazing stuff!
Thank you! I'm happy the art turned out as well as it did in the short amount of time I had!
Fell victim of restart bug many times, so did not finish, but it felt good to play. Tight and responsive
Thanks for staying with the game for a bit, despite the bugs!
Cool game! The mechanics were interesting and easy to pick up and understand which I enjoyed, as well as the seamless level transitions from the main menu!
I had a few issues with how far the ship could accidentally start moving. Perhaps slowing acceleration down quite a bit or capping it would help a fair bit with that. There were a few audio glitches like the music stacking which was a tad annoying, but not the end of the world. The last thing that might need polishing was how slow the restart was, putting me back through the splash screen. That should probably be sped up.
That said all those problems could easily be ironed out and the game expanded on post-jam to be something really fun!
Good job!
I plan on fixing all of the bugs after the Jam is over, and I even have plans to expand the game! The speed of the restart has been a common complaint, so I will definitely be speeding it up, if not removing it entirely. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed response!
On one hand, the ship moves way too fast and objects are only on screen for like a second until you crash into them. On the other hand, moving at light speed is super fun. The gameplay, once you got the hang of it, was pretty fun and I like how everything is integrated into the main game instead of just a menu. The restart animation was a bit too long (Every time you die you have to wait through a bunch of splash screens) and I think the music was playing twice at the same time for me. Overall, a fun game!
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't have time to test the game properly, so there are a lot of issues, especially when restarting! A more developed version of the game would have different ship types, most of which would have a speed limit. Thanks again for checking my project out! Your feedback is very valuable to me!
Great game, very enjoyable despite the restart bug. For once, I think it might have been a good idea to limit both the acceleration and the speed to some degree, so that the player is protected from themselves. Then again, it was fun to mess about at high speeds.
Thanks for the feedback! Limiting the speed of the ship is a great observation! I think a great way to expand on this idea would be to create multiple ships in the game, each with a little less of a limit than the last. You have given me food for thought, KingPieEater!
Nice idea, good controls, also I like how you made your main "menu" integrated directly into the game. Restart bug is ruining experience, however I still see that the game is very nice. Good luck in further development!
Thanks, I'm glad you found it interesting!
Couldnt rate it good because of the restart bug stopping me from playing it. But i will watch this carefully since it is promising.
I totally understand! I do intend to fix and continue to update this project after the game jam ends, so thanks for sticking around!
The game idea was very cool, and the controls were quite good for something that is meant to be quite crazy and hectic.
The Restart bug was incredibly annoying, and makes the game almost unplayable. This could become a great game with some real promise if it was expanded.
Thanks! I was caught up in the Itch.io craziness and I didn't test the project correctly. The funny part is, it's a one-line fix. Live and learn! Thanks for bearing with the project, even with its bugs! I appreciate it!
I really love how the spaceship feels. The gamplay sure is fun.
However, it really is a bummer that the Resart button bug is in the jam version :(. Also this then causes a bug which causes the background music to be played multiple times. But I guess those should be easy fixes for a post-jam-version, if you plan on doing that.
Yep! I playing on updating as soon as I'm allowed! Thanks for the positive feedback. It was a real bummer to find that bug AFTER the window closed.
The tutorial was very clear. I also am a big fan of the open space exploration vibes. Good job!
Thanks! I had fun making it!
