Play as a pirate of the seven skies and take down an airship... just because you feel like it!
The game is quite unfinished. I didn't time to do more levels, and the levels that have been done aren't fleshed out properly (there's a lot of unused scenery and floor tiles that I wasn't able to get in). I'll be working more on it this week and will be posting a post-compo version for you to try (but not rate of course!)
* There's a bug with the mission briefings when you complete a level (i.e. will say 'hack 0 blah' instead of actual number). Press P to pause during gameplay and the correct numbers will show though. I'll fix this soon. - Actually, no I won't (it's against the rules I think). So the fix will be in the post-compo version
Nice! I could see the different types of triggers creating some interesting combinations. The particle effects are pretty fun too. I'd love to have a better way to dodge the bullets from the human enemies in tight corridors.
Fun -- would love to see more levels/enemies and maybe some puzzle elements in a post-compo version. Really, this could be a contender if it only had some more gameplay. Such is life in a 48hour compo, eh?
Character animations were quite good, and I was even compelled to let the music keep playing! This is rare for most LD entries. ;)
The intro and outro are the strong parts of your game, I think. The gameplay is good, but short. It misses something, in the level design and the graphics (no background (but the villain, computers and doors are great!)) Nice audio too :)
Oh, I haven't seen any enemies or enemy bullets, is that normal?
@Niavlys Thanks! The reason the game was so short for you was because I fixed a bug with mission briefings on level changes... which broke the level change (I didn't have a chance to test it). I've reverted back to the old version, so if you try it now you'll get the full 3 levels
I really like the artwork and audio. Wasn't expecting the game to end so abrubtly, but it was still a lot of fun. Also, great intro and ending animations. :)
Really good entry! I liked the checkpoints, the particles on destroying a sentry turret, the hacking was cool. The whole thing worked well, with great cut-scenes at either end
Graphics are nice and there is some pleasent effort in the transistions from the start screen and between levels.
The controls and jumping could've used some more tuning I think. Also I didn't really feel like a villain as such, maybe the objectives should be more about plundering treasure etc.?
I like the atmoshphere! I felt like the enemy dudes should have been introduced earlier, they're more interesting oppisition than cannons that fire at your general direction.

Awesome concept dude. I loved playing the game, I just wish it was longer. I can't rate you because I'm not a participant this time around, but great job anyway! I loved the 8-bit style and the music, and I have no doubts that programming those AI's wasn't a cakewalk. Awesome entry.
Level-design could be a bit more tighetened. Guards can shoot you, while you can't shoot back. It would also be useful if health replenished on level-switch.
I enjoyed this, and the new levels are a big improvement. The sprite animations are good, but the scenery could use some work; nothing about it really says "airship" to me. I want windows, and moving machinery, maybe some roulette tables. Also, there was never a threat during hacking, so the timer seemed pointless.
Really enjoyed this, thank you! The level design was very good considering the time available, and you got a lot of content in there with the AIs, the cannons and the various other bits and bobs. I really liked the intro animation and soundtrack - made it feel like a complete and well-rounded product. One irritation is that you have to be on the same floor level to attack the AIs which is sometimes irritating (e.g. start of lev 3) - perhaps this is deliberate though?

And oh, the emoticons were a cute touch.
Oh, and I'll check out your entries once I get home from work :)
@Markavian: Ha! Maybe :)
Nice audio too :)

Damn, I didn't manage to finish the game without dying once yet... still trying.
I like the emoticons when hacking >:D

Do those light-up rods do anything?
@moomoo112 They're checkpoints. So if you die you'll respawn next to the one last activated
Post-compo version is now available :)
