Definitely an enjoyable game, and I love the retro arcade feel of it! It would be nice if you could adjust the sensitivity of the space ship, and I did notice that some asteroids would disappear without me shooting them, but all in all a very fun game!
Oh shoot I forgot to add dialogue that explains, that sometimes asteroids collide with one another. Thank you for your comment!
Fun game! Love that you can change its color lol. I do wish there was more variety between waves, but over all its fun!
Thank you! I sadly ran out of time to do more stuff XD.
Noooooo, poor aliens. Thanks for the sacrifice kings :'(
Alright, speaking seriusly, the graphics are cool and I liked the fact that you can change the main color of the game. I like the style and all so really nothing to say about that. I liked the dialogues and the story so very well done there too. When it comes down to gameplay though things start to get messy. I have just 1 gun the whole game making always the exact same sound (it gets faster but that's not enough) at least randomize the pitch, make me reload, really do anything to break the routine of holding space. There are just 3 asteroid types, behaving all the same way, so variation is close to 0. I really liked the way they moved and that they could hit each other though. If not for those issues the game is pretty fun to play and really well polished. Great job!
Wow thank you for the thorough feedback. I know, the waves are more or less the same from 5 to 10, that's a shame. Originally I wanted to do so much more, add comets that circle the planet and give you power ups, add upgrades to your weapon that you could choose, more asteroid types and so on. I simply ran out of time :D (and also my bro cancelled on me so I had to do all the graphics myself, that took wayyy longer than expected). I uploaded the final version 23.57 XD. Before the prerequisite dropped I wanted to add stuff like lasers and bombs, but that wasn't so simple to do given the 3 buttons only limitation. But I like that you enjoyed the atmosphere and the story, thank you.
Simple and fun. I recomend this game.
Simple but beautiful game. Liked it!
It's amazing, this is truly retro and with 3 buttons.
I like it
Very cool game :D
Fun game! The movement is satisfying and the story added so much. Good job :D
Thank you I really appreciate that:D I tried my best to make the game as complete as possible and the story was an essential part of that
Yoo cool game ,Fun to play ,Rly simple ,My only probleme is aiming ,And i felt wierd with the controls ,I am used to A to move right and D to move left ,But GREAT game tho :D
Thank you very much! Yeah the controls are definitely something you can get used to, originally the game was supposed to be way more difficult, but I wanted people to actually reach the epilogue:D
OMG more difficult? I couldn't get passed anything xD
Great . Fun to play. Love the minimalistic design.
Pretty enjoyable game, i like the art/colours style too. I totally died...
I did read most of the dialog - but i'm totally one of those people who skip it usually. I find it good that the dialog is limited (for my terrible attention span for the story-lines in gaming)
Thank you, I spend a lot of time making the story and dialogue:D
Very enjoyable game! I like the story and the dialogue each time there's a new wave. It's also harder than I expected—I almost died in the last wave lol. Great job!
