Thanks for playing LD #31* :D
Cool game, i liked the effect of the laser A LOT. That shaking camera while firing with laser at other ships was amazing! :D

Some nice effects and a nice idea. Could maybe have done with ramping up the enemy variety a bit quicker so I have more to fight than just the round guys for the first couple of minutes!

Nice shooter, the effects are great and the style is very clean

The beginning of the map felt bit too slow, but actually built up to be quite hectic. Great example how simple effects can work nicely. Very nice especially considering your timeframe.

Wow, that got really intense! Probably one of my favourite games of LD so far!!! Love it! Keep up the good work.

Nice little game event if I found the countdown a bit long. Especially because of the lack of diversity in the beginning. It becomes more challenging in the end, but you could have speed up the start a bit.

Good job overall!

It's fun! I just wish I could move the ship. It became a game of how fast can you click :)

loved the gameplay, but the laser sound effect hurt my ears. Got gang banged at the end, though.

cool shooter, you could add a overheat bar for the laser as a visual indicator. well done

Great work for just 6 hours!! It's a complete game, and creates a fun feeling of panic sometimes.

I did have a technical issue happen several times. I click-spammed the lasers a lot (they seemed stronger than the guns) and 4 different times the game got into a mode where it was not accepting my input anymore for perhaps 10 seconds. During this time enemy ships would build up and be hammering away at my health. This is how I lost.

Another comment mentioned overheating lasers, so maybe this was actually a feature and not a bug, but I was completely stuck, the gun turret was not even following the mouse pointer. And when it came back alive, it played a giant stack of many laser sounds on top of each other, like something was stuck in the game and they built up, and then suddenly came through. So I guessed it was a bug.

This occurred in the embedded web version in the LD entry page.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, I still got to experience the fun! Again, nice work for such a small amount of time.
