i know it's 3 hours but
i'd like to have like a "hot-cold" way of checking if near for a star, because as what you said there is a .4% chance of finding the star, the combat is fine as it is and only real thing it could have improved is having the enemies flash when hit, overall it's fun but gets boring quick after you realize "oh god why is it so low, and why are there no indicators??"
also sound can't propagate in the vacumm of space so they didn't have to use a device to stop sound. which is kinda physically inaccurate 0/10I enjoyed trying to find a star as quickly as possible by just FLYING through the sections in random directions while dodging the enemies...but eventually I'd be blown to bits:( I had fun though, especially if I ignored the maths you talked about below:)
This is so challenging! How rare is it to find the star?
there actually exists around 10 in every run! (they are identical touching any one of them wins you the game), the catch is that the map is so damn large (50x50).
so quick maths the chance of any room being the winning room is 10 / (50*50) = 0.4%, so in average you need to visit 250 rooms to get to the winning room... wait a second thats so bad wtf, this is actually the first time i thought about it statistically like that LMAO.
yeah this game aint it chief, well a lesson learned at least, don't forget the math. xD
Oh, wait it does kill them, you just have to leave it on them for a while.
yeah definitely needed some effect on that hahaha, oh the difference 30 extra minutes wouldve made X)
I found what looked like a planet(I thought it was the star), but nothing happened. I only realized it wasn't the star when I looked at the screenshots. Also my laser doesn't kill enemies? It's a good idea, but it's a little confusing and really hard.
I agree! The lack of visual/sound effects and the fast speed of your ship and the bullets does make it somewhat confusing for new players, and definitely harder than the usual game. but for me at least it got actually fun once I learned how to dodge and fight effectively!
