A World Between by Mekuri

[raw]
made by Mekuri for LD30 (JAM)
Finally I'm done! As last time I'm uploading in the last hour, so I really hope there's no issues :)

A World between is a space shooter game, where you earn credits for defeating foes, and you can use them to upgrade your ship.

Short Starting Guide

Either fly to the space station ahead of you, or turn 180 and go through the gate. In the Thyranus system (The red one) is where the enemies are. Use tab or t to shuffle the targets (Helps a lot). Once cleared a message will appear telling you how much you earned. When that message dissapears a new wave have spawned for you to kill.

As usually a lot of features was cut from the game in order to finish in time, but I hope the end product is enjoyable.

I made almost all of it myself, except for 1 texture, and a few sound effects from freesound.org.

I hope you enjoy my game- And I'm looking forward to playing yours!

-----------
I've compiled both Linux and Mac versions of the game, as I found out last Dare that there's a few of those out there that don't get to play many games. I have no means of testing them though, as I've merely build them with Unity, but I hope it'll work :-)

Phenomenal and powerful. I really like the effects, and the mechanics mix pretty well together. Plus, I really freaking love flying through space.

Agreed, flying through space is pretty cool :)
Wish there were more enemies though? because I couldn't find any...

There's plenty if you go through the gate in the first system. Once you clear the first few more will appear soon.
Remember to use the switch target button while there, makes it much easier to find enemies :-)

I had initially planned more worlds, and a trade element, so that you could travel around and trade goods to the different worlds- I didn't get around to adding more types of weapons, which would've added a lot I think. Lastly I simply would've loved to make a few more ship types and maybe a few more spacestations :-)

Fun unpretentious space shooter! Lots of lovely fizzing particle effects. I appreciate the effort you went to with the shop - though I could really have done with more value for my in-game money. =) Great work!

The flying mechanics are really competent, and fun to use.

Nice! The mac version works perfectly, btw. I was a bit unsure of what to do at first but the controls you've got are really nice, lovely effects too.

Nice work, at first the controls felt confusing, but only natural later. You should really expand this!

Wow, a really nice game. I'm truly impressed that you managed to make the controls so good. I thought I was going to get lost or something but you had tweaked navigation and controls and everything really well. :)

I also liked the fear when the enemies laser shots approached me. :D

Great game and well done! :)

THe mechanics are very well done, but after destroying 2 ships I didn't recieve any credits.

You're not supposed to receive credits after 2 ships- You receive credits when an entire wave is destroyed- I am working on the post jam version though where I've changed it to be pr. kill based, as it makes the game slightly easier - I will share a link to the post jam version at a later time :-)

Hi there. Great graphics and sound. Flew around a bit, stargate exit effects and camera fly-by very nice. Couldn't find much to do other than fly around. A guide to find a battle would have been useful addition. Good job!
