Thanks man! This is my first ever game jam, and I understand it can be frustrating to have to wait through these things, however the warning [of course in a game with flashy explosions, and a supernova] is VERY important so my family doesn't get sued by anyone. Also, I am by no means an Audio designer, so this was my first soundtrack, and all other sound FX were made via voice sounds, then heavy audio editing.
Also, it didn't really say go make friends, it said "make his friends not suffer a terrible fate" maybe I should've made a READ-ME.txt file, and I understand I probably should've made it possible to skip the opening scene. I was pondering making the screen shake, and also debris be able to hit, and damage the player, however, I had spent 2 days of the 7 to brainstorm on the game, then the next 3 were lots of trial and error.
The upgrades are very minor, to add a sort of grind element to the game, so the player has something to work for. Also, the gun does always shoot [shoot delay is kind of tedious at first [hence the fire rate upgrade]], and also the aiming does [of course] rotate with the player so sometimes it may actually hit the player.
Thank you for the feedback, and I apologize for any inconveniences in my game. -Wildfire Games :)
