I love the fact you limited the amount the player can shoot with the overheating system, rather than something like ammo, that's been done and would be more boring. I also quite enjoyed how the ship bends a little bit depending on your position.

Developer

Thank you! Overheating was part of some games that I played as a child and somehow I really like this concept ;)

HostSubmitted

Very well put together LCD game! Flawless style, and the concept allows for much variation. And you really topped it with the boss fight! Shame that the balancing is not yet there, if you fix it I'd suggest that you also add more different flight formations for the fighters, to make it even better!

Developer

Thx! New formations can be added easily and the balancing will also be adjusted no time – however I will do this after the voting.

Brilliant - blood brilliant. I keep playing it.....

Developer

Thank you! After the voting I will fix some minor issues (balancing …) and eventually add some new enemies and behaviors so that there is a little bit more variety.

Submitted

Very nice and extremely well playable. I want to play a physical version of it :)

Developer

Tank you so much!
