The audio gave me a space-y or futuristic feel. Anyway, nice short and simple game. :)

Overall, it's ok. It doesn't exactly do anything new, but it's fun to watch the enemy fighters fly around the screen at high speeds.

Didn't work for me, just got a ship with a barrier that I hit to -50 health and nothing changed

Cool voice ! :D Liked it
I enjoyed to see the ennemies comming from nowhere in strange directions ^^
Too easy sadly, I need more bullets on me, and different ennemies !!
A simple more challenging thing could have be a moving mothership, which fire on you !

Really enjoyable, I liked that you used voice commands. For a simple game it was very immersive.

Nice shooter, though I found distinguishing the bullets from passing stars to be a little difficult. Great work!

Nice voice acting! It reminds me that im a little kid playing with my toys (now making games...)
I love space shooter games and this one is good but i wanted to go to base after defeating the ship.

Needs more explosions! Otherwise nice idea and enjoyed the voice acting :-)

@Cladheim: Explosions were planned and are actually implemented for the Spawner, but the script that makes it tick...I couldn't get it working in time. Thanks!

It would be nicer if we didn't have to mash mouse button to shoot imho.
Good work anyway :)

It's kinda simple to win and I didn't know when enemies shoot me. But I like this voice ;)

Love the voice acting, and with the background noise it felt like I was there. Good job. One question though, is that bananas as projectile/laser?

Hey, solid entry! A little too easy perhaps (or too short?). Keep up the good work!

Decent game, with great voice acting :D

That, with the cartoony feel of the... *ahem* "Rock-it..." reminded me of my son playing with his toys lol.

Very easy, but I guess that's no big deal. Making the Spawner move through space would have been a simple way to make it a little more challenging, perhaps?

Rated well :)

Hi there. Nice short game. Destroyed spawner and finished. Nice effects, like the movement patterns of the alien fighters/small-craft. Good job!

not bad, short and simple, the audio was a nice touch. Wish there had been a great explosion of the spawner in the end, now it was little anti-climatic.

nice narration, the game itself is pretty simple but has solid controls, well done
