Hello, long time no see.  Join it if you are interested in it.

Gameplay: For me, it's rather hard to avoid the asteroids at times. And why do they spawn in the middle of open space instead of coming flying from off-screen? Apart from that, it's OK.

Creativity: Well, the idea of a top-down shooter is not really that creative.

Graphics, Sound and Polish: I like the car. You could have drawn actual coins, than 40wattstudio would have had an easier time. I found out quite quickly which circles are good and which are bad. And the menu is in Spanish, I guess, not in Polish. 😉.

Interpretation of Theme and Completeness of Game: Obviously, the game is money-themed. And you can actually buy something with the money (the car repair).

Hello! I have played the game! 

I can imagine that some players may like the game if they like to play exciting games. This action game is quite exciting. Players will play the game well if they have fast reaction times.

Gameplay:

You can't go wrong with a top-down shooter! More importantly, the flying car felt responsive even though it is a big target. Collecting coins was fun -- once I figured out what the coins were.  I also loved how random the attacks were -- definitely gives the game some replay value.

Creativity:

Shooting and collecting things in space is not the most original idea, but it's almost always fun!

Graphics / Sound / Polish:

The fine details on the car make up for the basic shapes of the projectiles and coins. The moving star background was nicely done and didn't conflict with the objects in the foreground.

The very first time you play, it's not very obvious whether the coins are the copper or the gold-colored ones. The gold coins look more like lemons.

Interpretation / Completeness:

I'm not exactly sure why a car is collecting coins in space, but it's obviously money-themed right? It was easy to try again after dying.
