Hi, couldn't finish the game, so this is what i've done so far :(

You can't die and enemies don't shoot :(

aswd - move. (you can move outside the camera, be careful.
space - shoot.
Enter - restart level.

The Web link doesn't work for me.. but you can try. (windows jar version works).

Used: Java - Libgdx
Graphics: KenneyDonnation_v4
Music/sfx: made by gonya707

Works on OS/X -> thanks to wicht fo the comment :)

My system won't let me run the java app from a dropbox it seems. Sorry. :(

I like the idea of playing outside the screen, but you win way too fast.

yeah sorry, i did it so fast because the game has no meaning if you can't die and enemies don't shoot, I don't want to make anyone lose time watching ships moving, with the fast game you get what i tried to do.

I bet this game could've been awesome if completed, still tried to dodge non-existent enemy attacks so it was kind of funny trying it. Maybe next jam!

I like the endboss. Giant worms FTW ;) Works on OSX too, you might want to add that ;)

The restart seem to be quite buggy, it caused attacks to behave in quite an odd way and also seemed to launch the music twice. The boss and enemies are not much at the moment but there is plenty of room for improvement.

I can't lose :(

I also tried to ram the ship to the giant worm but I just went behind it. But the music is good though.

Cool Game.I remember my childhood

Thought the colors in the landscape were interesting. I wish the terrain had an impact on the player, such as having to dodge around stalactites and stalagmites.

Well, as mentioned, not much of a game, but the assets in here are ok. It's a shame, looked like potential for a fun little shooter here. Well, it's all a learning experience in the end, and something is better than nothing!

This is a good start, but like others have said, there wasn't a lot of actual gameplay here. This would make a great starting point for a neat little shooting game though.

You were in the right direction !

The music is quite good and it looks pretty good. I'm sure you know the main problems, but a few things to recommend, if you decide to finish it; wasd+space is pretty hard to use. Your ship is huge, smaller would probably work better. Anyway, keep it up!
