phase

my high score so far `1675`

:D

there are definitely some bugs, and things we intended to fix such as
- not always spawning 2 more carriers when one dies)
- carrier can float over asteroids and through star bases
- bumping is hard to avoid, can cause unknown damage
- show player health, or enemy health percentages/indicators

but fairly playable so far. Let us know what we could have improved, given the time restraints.

we also fully intended on a starry, galaxy background, with a nebula, but I didn't have time to throw those in there unfortunately

Yes, the game is a lot bit buggy. Typical Game Jam Game don't expect to much. The game itself is awesome, and you can further improve the game base on 10s. Good work

Thanks @coolgunxdd any specific bugs that were particularly bothersome?

Hey, another space shooter!

Pretty solid. Would be fun with twin-stick controls, I think.

totally agreed joysticks would be great! If I continue with it, I'll shoot for that

It's cool to see people using less popular frameworks like SFML. But.. no linux compile? :'(

pretty nice space shooter game, fixing the bugs are definitely an area of improvement

Very fun! Nice job!.

The art assets were clean and fun to watch. GG!

Sweet little shooter. I blasted through the asteroids and found a bunch of orange ships sitting around and 2 more starbases. Curious!

Well done!

@gamejmunk I probably should have kicked off linux builds, sorry about that. maybe if I get some time tonight

@raphiell those are blockade ships that will auto fire enemies, if they make it to the 3rd base, as a last ditch defense. (Try having your first 2 star bases get destroyed)

So interesting gameplay) Good job)!

Hey overall a really good space shooter game, loved the art style. if we ignore the bugs it addictive

Nice shooter, might need a bit of polish but overall fun to play. Nice job

Windows seems very sure that `phase.exe` is a Trojan and won't let me play it.

@macaroni-dev yes, sorry about that! It's a simple .exe I compiled in C# that calls a script using `system("phase.o")` and because of that it probably gets flagged as a virus, since it's so generic and broad. For now it was the only way I knew to make it an `.exe` run the compiled crystal program. Alternatively I could have had a batch file (`.bat`) that ran it instead. Next time around, I'll find a way to make an exe more friendly to windows anti-virus stuff.

Apologies for that, you'd have to allow it to run, or disable anti-virus.
