Hi, I found a bug with the mouse cursor and texts scrolling on the right:)

InfinityForger93 Dec 2018, 22:41

What did you do that led up to the bug? (Asking to see if I can replicate it)

VetherGenauthor3 Dec 2018, 22:54

This issue is likely due to your monitor being

The ship is hard to learn and control which i like but will need to play more to get better

Its really Great, I love it, in the beginning it's hard to understand how to play it because of the control of the ship, this could be bad because you have to learn a lot in the very start of the game, maybe slowing down the rocks during more time, not much to be buring, but some time to learn how to control it

Interesting way of controlling the ship, would love to see the idea expanding

treegemmer4 Dec 2018, 01:41

Looks interesting! Is there no web or mac version?

I love the idea behind the controls, it took me some trys, but its actually very versatile. Very nice overall polish. Nice joob!

DarkianMaker4 Dec 2018, 02:15

The idea behind the controls is neat, but also quite a challenge to tackle that has lead to more deaths by spaceships than by asteroids

fun very challenging

Very good! Very hard to control but it was fun to try to figure it out. I caused more deaths than I saved... My only complaint is the asteroids come in fast and it takes so long to launch a ship. Bookmarking to play again :)

Thank you all so much for the feedback and kind comments :)
We had a good time making this game!

Amazing Game! Wish the space ship controller was actually a bit easy! Loved the art! Good Job Guys!

I also get the bug _Le_Dav_ mentioned(with screen res 2560x1440).. I tried hitting Shift+Z, it got fixed temporarily but got messed up again on it's first chance (each time text appeared).

VetherGenauthor4 Dec 2018, 19:54

@lycraxis I'm sorry to hear that. This is the first LD we've done... I wonder if I could upload a fix that would scale properly for any resolution?

PupYuan5 Dec 2018, 12:10

It's hard to control the spaceship...But it's a great game!

Hystaf6 Dec 2018, 17:51

I didn't understand how to control the plane ^^"

VetherGenauthor6 Dec 2018, 22:24

@hystaf It seems you arent alone haha. It was a bit of a controls experiment... we thought it would be interesting to have varying amounts of thrust (LEFT and RIGHT) to control the ship! Holding AD, and tinkering with JL to maneuver is our strategy xD

Pedro Rosa9 Dec 2018, 19:51

It is really difficult to control the ship but when you get how to move it the game gets really fun. Good job ;).
