Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Admiral Johnson: "Yeah great slogan but these assholes left our Space-Helicopter-Landing-Platform-Ship behind without any weapons." Crewman Doe: "Sir, a hell lot of meteors are coming our way!" Admiral Johnson: "Well, let's see what we can achieve with our SHAPE-SHIFTING SUPER ULTRA MAGIC MODULE that can change between being a shield generator or an engine booster. Crewman Doe: "But Sir that doesn't really sound like shape-shifting that just sounds like our ship has to different features?" Admiral Johnson: "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU READ-SHIRT. You are assigned to the next outside mission."
PS: Sorry guys for the limited capabilites of the game. Completely restarted with this idea after half of the time.
5/5 humor for the description :P Otherwise a simple game, but quite good considering you restarted the game halfway through. It could have benefited from a score counter or something...
Score counter that displays during the game instead of just upon completion would be nice. I don't know if putting up shields and ramming asteroids is helping, hurting, or having no effect on my score. Music doesn't loop cleanly. From a game balance perspective, the shield feels too powerful. I got a score of 8621 by just staying in place and toggling it. Perhaps absorbing asteroids should cost energy, or the largest asteroids shouldn't be absorbable? As things stand I never see a reason to go into the blue form.
I like the game!
Follows the theme quite well. I prefer the boost mode.
Good increase of difficulty as time passes.
Nice music!
