Nice game. Fun too play, good sounds, nice art and challenging. Especially for me, because I'm not good at typing, and that's why I liked the option to upgrade the teleport distance so I can balance my weakness. But it led to a bug where I teleported trough the black hole at the end of the map and thus the level hasn't ended xd

Submitted

Apocalypse

Glad to hear you liked it! I wanted to spawn the entire level again if the player missed the black hole because they teleported past it. To make the upgrade a double edged sword, but not gamebreaking. But, well you know how game jams go. - Josh

i really love the concept and gameplay, the only thing i have to say is that i felt like it was a bit cramped at first. otherwise, i could totally see myself playing this nonstop for a good while. awesome job!!

Thanks so much for checking out the game!

I totally see what you mean by it feeling a little cramped. Perhaps in a future update we can look into changing some sizes around to make better use of the galaxy! er... screen space xD

So glad you enjoyed it! If you do decide to play more, feel free to share your high score that comes with the practice! Mine is around 60,000... but Josh's currently stands at a whopping 480,000! xD

Really nice game, good story writing and great art I don't have much complaints, maybe the only one I could think of is, that the gameplay could be a bit faster, also shooting mechanic looks a bit pointless, when you can just dodge the bullets

Submitted

Thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game and the story! It was really fun to write :D :D :D

Good point about the bullets being really easy to dodge. Perhaps we can add more or make the ship move vertically in a future version! The shooting mechanism is actually for the little rocket missles though. You can use it to pop the balloons! :)

Nice one, very unique ideas! Two hand control scheme would've been nice (arrows + z x). Showing buttons I need to press as arrows instead of letters would make it much easier though! My high score: 29 350

After some levels the zooming feature bugged out, it would zoom so that I couldn't see which buttons I needed to press...

Ah true, WASD took me a bit to get used to when first making it. But, it was much easier generating strings of text instead of sprites. If I were to update this, I'd like to swap those out for sure! Sorry bout the zooming. Thanks for the feedback! - Josh

Thanks for reply. Just fyi, many fonts do have ←↑→↓ symbols in them, no sprites needed (in a pinch <>v^ also do, most fonts definitely have them) :)

Very good point! I hadn’t thought about that. Then I could’ve switched fonts and messed around with its scale instead of using the game’s primary font or trying to find arrow key sprites. - Josh

Wow, great game!! Overall, my favorite thing had to be the typing challenges. I felt like the game balance was pretty great-- it wasn't a breeze the first time around but the learning curve wasn't too steep or brutal either. Also have to say I love the music. Good job!

So glad you liked it! Fun fact, one thing that I tried to program in was a 1/100 chance of getting a word that was just the same letter, but with 10+ letters than usual. But I messed up and there's a near 1/1,000,000 ,000,000 or so actual chance, haha!- Josh

I jumped in before reading anything and the first few seconds were very surreal, I loved it haha, the art and sound are very good.

Submitted

Infiltrators

Haha, I imagine that would be quite the experience! Sudden appearance of GIANT PURPLE ALIEN SHIP with no context! xD xD Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed!

I like the Art style. And the game has an interesting gameplay. Really like the Planet.

Submitted

This art style was pretty different from what I usually do, so it means a lot that you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!

Very fun game! Great ob using teleporters and upgrades. I had a glitch where the camera moved behind the alien ship and I could barely see my character. I loved the weird theme though! This game was weird and quirky and fun!

Submitted

Spiral Gate

Thanks for the feedback! Did that camera glitch happen when you were saving a planet or teleporting by chance? - Josh

Nice game and cute art. The typing was a bit confusing for me because I was fixed on WASD being directions rather than letters so my brain bugs out.

Scoot o' Speed StudiosDeveloper3 years ago (1 edit)

Thanks for checking out the game! And fair point about the typing and moving sharing the same controls leading to a bit of confusion! Perhaps we'll look into an option to split the two in the future :)

I massively enjoyed the design of everything from the unique design of each planet to the aliens to the end screen it is a very enjoyable experience.

Good game. But the zoom in effect got me confused.

Thanks for playing! I guess I never programmed in a proper tutorial so I can see how it'd be disorienting. -Josh

Hands down the cutest submission ever, from the art down to the music... even the concept of helping out other planets is adorable! Very nice use of the teleporting mechanic too; it took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out the best way to use it, but it's a must if you're going for those perfect scores.

Top work guys, really enjoyed this game!

Oh my stars! That might be the sweetest thing we've ever heard. On behalf of all of us, thank you so much!
- Sasha, Josh and Kati

Also thanks for the feedback! Don't worry haha, you're deffs not alone in being a little confused by the teleporting mechanic. I was a little frustrated by it too when it was first implemented! Eventually the power to make space wormholes grows on ya though! xD Thank you so much for sticking around long enough and investing enough time to figure out the mechanic and enjoy the game to the fullest. Perhaps we'll find a way to make how it works a little clearer in future versions! :D

Glad you enjoyed!
