This was a cool little rogue space adventure game! I really loved the music and the atmosphere you created. Like another person said, this reminded me FTL. At first I tried a gamethrough while trying to stay peaceful, but I quickly realized that this was not really the way to thrive in space. My second run I was the ultimate destroyer, engaging every ship I could. This had me quickly running with 10K and a reputation of a dark jedi throughout the galaxy. I just waiting to run into another rich merchant, hoping to put my hands on the latest most dangerous weapon (don't offer me that crappy basic platting, I'm rich now!)... when I ran into what seemed like a super star destroyer which put my ship down after a few seconds. They were kind enough to leave me with half of my hard-earned credits after disabling my entire ship and destroying my hull. Thanks guys!
The story line was really enjoyable, it was fun to follow through with the various events, and the difficulty level seemed kind enough that I would run into enemies that I could always sort of handle, depending on my current ship properties.
A few improvements I'd suggest:
- it'd be awesome to have some sort of encyclopedia to understand what I'm about to purchase, and how that will affect ths ship.
- It'd be awesome to have the difficulty/reward vary per region rather than over time
- Sometimes the map is too narrow for me to see where I should be headed (maytbe it's because I'm playing on a widescreen monitor I don't know...)
Great little game, I played for about an hour and still feel like there's stuff to discover.
Awesome job!
