I thought this was a really nice game and liked how the objective was something a bit different (go get your friend) than other similarly styled games.
that said…
- I couldn’t quite figure out how to get ammo. At times it felt like it was regenerating on it’s own, other times I thought it might be a pickup I just wasn’t figuring out. Over all, I ran out of ammo so much that I eventually couldn’t even attack the bad guys.
- You can die… or, at least, when my health hits zero, I can still keep playing. On one hand, it allows me the time to be able to get through the game, but, on the other, there’s no challenge.
- I think your “friend” should aid in combat somehow. As it is, they just follow you, which is nice, but given how many enemy ships there are, it’s be nice to have backup for the return trip home!
Graphically, I really liked the look of this game and the UI fit the game quite well and was very clear. This is a really nice game. With some tweaks to the mechanics, this would be excellent, in my opinion!
