This one really hooked me. It's a lot of fun and I like the fact there's many different enemies. But the controls are a bit wobbley and I am also not sure how this relates to the theme (maybe indirectly).
You have done a great job with this regardless, especially for a 48 hour game!

Controls on the ship felt really good. I wasn't entirely sure if I was trying to shoot at everything, only ships that shot the red laser beams or what. It was fun flying around shooting things up though.

Very fun game! 5 stars for the fun part, but please tell me what is on the other side of the portal? Made me very curious :)

Very nice, it is a lot of fun to chase those drone packs through asteroids.
The graphics are rather pretty, the controls are good, but the idea isn't that original.

And I can't destroy the portal thing! :(

Really fun game to pass time with. Not a great connection to the theme (the story sounds just made up so you got some connection to it). I really liked the drone AI.

Fun space shooter. I like the drone behaviour.

I think there might be a couple of bugs when you die and respawn - first time you're killed it takes loads of laser hits, but from then on only one. Also the speedo seems to stop working.

Well it's aptly named :D Shot lots of things in space! Nice flocking AI too by the looks of it. As others have noted looks like your shield doesn't restore after respawning? But still, nifty base of a game here.

Pretty intense space shooter. I liked it, but I wouldn't mind knowing why I kept shooting at everything '^^
Really solid controls =)

The gameplay is a little rough, but I like the sounds and graphics of the game

Awesome job! Some really nice effects touches, I'd love to know how you did the thruster cones (particles?)

Simple little game, good take on the theme. Music was great, very ominous!

Sorry, wrong window for the previous comment.

I liked this, managed to kill some baddies. The shooting sound was well made, sounding good even though was repeated throughout the entire play. Great feel overall!

neat! :) very cool spaceships. you might add textures. the controls where a little odd at the beginning but felt natural at the end. A little bgm would have been cool allso.

Very cool game. The controls seem a bit broken for me. If I move the mouse up very slowly, the ship turns left rather than up, and moving left slowly moves down instead. Moving the mouse down or right work as expected. Moving the mouse more quickly works as expected but it makes the game almost unplayable as I cant aim. I am running the game in Linux.
