Your ship was dragged through a wormhole and is now trapped in strange connected universes that he can travel between using wormholes. Avoid obstacles and collect stars to return to your universe.
INPUT: use arrow keys or WASD to fly the ship. P to pause
Your feedback is what's most important to me. I would like to use this as an opportunity to improve my level designing abilities. What did you like about the game? What did you hate? Thanks. I will rate and give feedback to anyone commenting!
Really hard but that's the kind of game who deserve difficulties. Restarting from the current univers would be better. With better graphics (like GeometryWars), and even transition effect in the worm-hole, it could be a real game. Good game + better graphics = time killer.
Nice feeling of the game. I also like the difficulty level. :D Also the take on the theme is nice, in the way you use it for the difficulty of the obstacles.
P.S. Could you check back on our game with the debug version (www.randomabductions.com/space-trader)? It would be awesome if you could help us getting it to work on extra devices.
Unforgiving physics here. Felt like I was flying on ice, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor. Love the overall concept, though - all it needs is some extra polish. And maybe a health bar. ;)
Good implementation of a recognizeable game type, with a nice difficulty ramp that introduces the player to the game and challenging areas. A checkpoint kind of thing or more lives would've been appreciated just purely to see new universes. Because I didn't have to pick up all the stars to move on, I found myself after a while just going through the areas without picking up the stars just to see what challenges where there. :)
The only criticism that I have is that the ship movement felt like it dragged a bit too much momentum and I particularly didn't like the sound choice.
I would make player see better to the other sides of the wormholes to avoid too unfair deaths. I would make the game less unforgiving by allowing for example 3 restarts from the same room with small invincibility time after respawn, to avoid that player need to backtrack too much. I would also try to get the controls feel better, maybe give more control to the player and less physics based movement, so that player could move faster and safer at the same time. Also I wasn't sure was my main goal to get all the stars or was it to get to some other place? Clarifying this would be important.

It lack also of a little soundtrack... :)
A super bass-pumping techno soundtrack would have been awesome, but sound is hard, music is even harder! :)

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
