Nothing connects people like logistics.

Synopsis

Delivering cargo in space is a dangerous job, you happen to work in the most dangerous quadrant. Deliver cargo you take back from the space pirates and connect these worlds through logistics!


I made this using the Unity 4.6 beta and the new GUI that came along with that. As an effect of that the web player build may not work for some of you guys, if not I encourage you to download the standalone player.

Awesome soundtrack, and the ship controls are really fluid!

Cool mechanic and great music. Extremely challenging though!

It was kind of hard. There are so many enemies, but your weapons hardly can do anything to them. I think it would be more fun if I could blow them up in a few shots.

Nice graphics and UI. Is new unity UI great to work with? Is it better then ngui?

@dvdking The new GUI is nice, there are a few things that could work better, but it is a beta. It doesn't have the tweening stuff NGUI has but the integration with scripting is awesome. It does act a lot like NGUI though as far as workflow.

Very nice music. Was pretty hard though, wasn't able to get to the objective in three tries...or maybe I suck :P.

Wow! A+ to graphics and sound/music, and quite a big project to achieve in this timescale. Motion and mechanics are good, but you lose fun points for the insane difficulty curve.
Despite how well you've pulled this off, it's not an incredibly innovative concept, but that's worth overlooking.
Very impressive.

Great music and interesting premise. Found the game terribly difficult though. I had some trouble with the controls. Felt a bit stilted, I would like to see a bit smoother controls. Enjoyed it though.

Cool game! I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/WU8AB6IzBac

I had a good time with this. I feel like the player is swarmed with a few too many enemies early on, but the combat is still fun and the music is stellar (pun fully intended).

Good game! The audio is really nice. The only problem is that I find the combat to be a bit too hard, especially when you're just starting out.

It's too hard!, you don't even get to deliver anything unless you are an expert :P

Took me a while to find out, who is good and bad. Seems like everything wants to kill you^^
I liked the map overview, but I almost never spotted my own ship. Some sort of marker would be helpful :)

Awesome! While scrolling past the new posts I saw your post mortem, I paused because I thought it looked like my game (the bullets look similar to the messages in my game, and the orbiting planets). But it's a totally different game. Very well done, the music is awesome! It's a tad difficult, but hey, I'm a space pirate hunter pro after playing this.

Great game and very fun but quite difficult! See what you mean about it being so similar and different to mine!

Couldn't actually manage to make a delivery, but still, a really cool game!

Nice game and challenging. Had to read the how to a bit to figure out what to do :)

Very cool! I got killed almost immediately after encountering the enemies, but everything before then was really cool and well done.

Game controls really well, I wasn't too keen on having to keep clicking for every shot though, maybe having it as a hold-down would be better, and if spamming was a concern then a recharge system for the weapon could be put in place, but still it's fine the way it is.

I didn't mind the difficulty too much. Really love the music, and the art-style is pretty cool too.

WOW what amazing music! The game itself was a little difficult for me, maybe if the thrust was going towards the mouse it could be a little easier to maneuver.

It feels like smugglers run in space :P

Very hard!

Only managed to make one delivery. Fighting the enemies is fun though, you have to do some reasonable maneuvering and also look out for the cargo they drop. Fluid gameplay.

Fun little game, but too much time spent on looking for enemies.

Loved the fluid controls! Made the game very hectic. I wish the enemies were a bit easier tho :)

Holy crap your game was fantastic. The fast paced action oriented coupled with that sweet audio track was awesome! Cheers.
