Do not rate the postcompo version (see below for info about it)!
Screaming cubes (they really scream when you shoot them... or at least they're supposed to...).
Simple (well... not for 48 hours of work) mining and shooting flight simulator.
You crash-landed on some desolate planet with enemy mining operations. Gather enough ores (by shooting your crater missiles in the green or white spots on terrain and picking resulting cubes, or from enemy bases) to repair your ship and fly away!
Build in Unity.
Music by autotracker, sounds by bfxr + Audacity, models and textures max + photoshop.
(finished with glorious two minutes to spare...)
Update: I've build a Windows version, seems working too... Update 2: I've forgotten about sources, uploaded...
Update 3: (next day) - Added few more screenshots. If you're interested in extended postcompo version, say so in comments, I'm really considering making this a bit more then 48 hour marathon.
Update 4: I've added a link to the postcompo version (web and windows) which is vastly improved (while still buggy, unbalanced and unfinished) - random levels, more weapons, controllable and upgradable motherships, control settings, ingame player's guide and a lot more. Don't rate this version, there's several more days of work put in the game, but you're more then welcome to test it.
I like the stylized textures on the terrain and the ships. The AI was perhaps a little to good on the ships, they could fly and shoot a lot better than I could!
So I've finally had a time to do some real testing.... postcompo is clearly in order (upgrades need some tuning, but the mothership control is a must otherwise it gets too boring too quickly).
Oh... and I see I forgot to mention that the green and white splashes on terrain are the uranium and ores.... shooting on normal terrain won't give yuo much if anything...
Really enjoyed piloting the ship, but I found doing so felt unnecessary for the actual gameplay of killing the enemies - I often lost them - being a fixed turret might have made the game easier to complete. Good thing the AI took care of most the threats ;) The flight felt nice though, got a bit of vertigo!
I played this multiple times and it's really fun. The enemies don't drop that much ore, so the upgrading of the ship get's a bit lengthy. Controls are smooth, graphics fit this kind of game. Most fun part were the enemy ships which fly into you with high speed :D
I love the sunset/dusk look of everything. The textures are nicely styled. Crashing and spinning out of control is fun, too! Interesting mix of flight sim and mining.
Oh no, autotracker! luckily I couldn't hear the music over the gunfire! I like a dogfight so I had fun playing this. I think I would like to see an upgraded version of this, but I don't know if would be checking up on you to see if you made one (so many games to play!)
Wow, a lot of stuff in there for being made in 48 hours, nice work! Crazy AI, wanting to headbutt you all the time. :P The game felt a little too dark imo, and some visual feedback on when your bullets hit and damaged the enemies would have been nice. The upgrade system was really neat! :)
I just loved your game. Totally amazing the mother ship / exploration scheme, I had many game ideas for future in this way too. With all these upgrades your game is deep.
But I would take another day to polish it and submit to Jam instead of 48 hours because some parts of it need more work, like combat, aim, AI; Anyway here is one of the TOP games of LD26. Amazing job!
cool game. Reminds me off the old game: Battlezone. If you do a post compo add some auto-cargo-unloading on the mother ship. My cargohold was always full and there was no way for me unload it -_-
I would of liked to start off with a little more mobility and health (to compensate for my awful piloting skills!). This is a very fully featured game for just 48 hours so great work!

Except, it's pretty funny when you get hit by something and start spinning everywhere.
It's pretty fun to fly around
and the wining condition is to gather enough resources to fly away from the crater
More polish on the UI and controls might make this a very fun game!
but maybe a faster ship would have been beter

However, the bullets seemed a bit slow, and I'm not entirely sure where's the minimalism.
The audio was prety sweet too. =D
