can't play game, instantly die too fast, then crashes due to dying so fast

@Skills641 sorry to hear that, will fix for the full version. Thanks!

Your youtube video of the game seems to be at a much more reasonable pace, the version I played was crazy fast.

@Transmit this is definitely an issue then, I will fix this thanks!

Randomly crashed on me. It was really hard, as in I couldn't play for more than half a second (my game is running about 50 times faster than yours). Also, you have to go to your website to get the full version? Also, where's the source?
🎤 Mallot1
25. Aug 2014 · 23:36 UTC
@Longarmx I'm almost done with the full version, adds lost of cool stuff! :D I'll see if I can upload the source soon, thanks for playing :D

Can't play it! Too fast and instantly die at the beginning! You are allowed to change this kind of bug during the LD.

For others trying to play this game, spacebar fires a bullet to get through blue walls (you should mention that in the description). I liked it and wanted to play more but if I didn't finish a level fast enough the game would crash on me.
🎤 Mallot1
26. Aug 2014 · 01:10 UTC
@Evil Scotsman glad you liked it! Alright I'll add it into the description, I have been trying to fix the memory leaks all day xD! when It's fixed you can find it on the website. See you around! :D

I think its not so good. Controls are weird and sound is way too loud and cant be made quieter. Im glad there is disable audio. UI was strange
billknye
26. Aug 2014 · 01:36 UTC
Was a bit finicky, a little too fast at the start. Crashed after a few plays so I lost my progress =( Could be a good game if polished up a bit.
Miziziziz
26. Aug 2014 · 01:40 UTC
Kinda reminds me of flappy bird.
I wish the controls were abit sharper, like faster up and down movement. It's too slow right now
Also, it's really unforgiving; I can't blink or I die.
Also, The music is really cool.

I like it, it is hard, but it does crash a lot. I was able to get to the third level but crashes (about 5) are annoying.
dalbinblue
26. Aug 2014 · 01:54 UTC
This game is way too hard. I'm guessing you are going for flappy bird-like game, but this is still way too frustrating.

After a while The game does crash. It's at random times some I'm guessing it's probably a memory leak or premature deallocation issue. Specific error is 0x71002a95 referenced memory at 0x00000000. Memory could not be read.

@dalbinblue I'm sorry that the game was too hard, I think I'll add a game speed setting so people can play at their own speed :D The memory leak bug fix is in action right now :D Hope you come back when it's fixed! Have a great day :D

Way too difficult, and after five or so failures the game crashed. Needs slowing down just a bit
🎤 Mallot1
26. Aug 2014 · 12:18 UTC
@Vyteros I added a speed option :) You can find it on the site, I also finally fixed the memory leak so no more crashes! :D thanks!

Nice little game but it makes you rage when you fail close to the end. Also recommend you to show controls on the intro screen and to start player a little lower so you don't die immediately.
🎤 Mallot1
26. Aug 2014 · 16:57 UTC
@commodoreKid thanks for playing :) Alright, I'll see if I can change the maps up a little for the full version. Thanks! :D

Nice little game, but...how have you managed to rate 315 games in this time?
🎤 Mallot1
26. Aug 2014 · 18:19 UTC
@malf thanks! that's a good question! :D I wen't through the different categories and I look at the games. If I really like it I'll play it. I also didn't want to leave out the really nice graphics one's if I didn't want to play it, so I rated those on their graphics, etc; pretty much I took what I liked about it and rated it accordingly. Thanks!

Unfortunately kept dying instantly. The core concept seems a bit unoriginal as well unfortunately. Good job on finishing something though! It's just a shame about the current insta-death issue.
🎤 Mallot1
26. Aug 2014 · 22:17 UTC
@ViliX sorry to hear that. You can adjust the speed with the speed setting at the start! Thanks for playing! :D

too hard for me,I died twice right at the end of level 2 in easy mode, that was as far as I could go. I think you should have some easier levels in the begining and then make the game gradually more challenging because the narrow channel in level 2 is really hard, and I had to quit not having played much of the game.

The controls are really sensitive! In order to be able to play at all I had to choose option 4 at the beginning to set my own speed. Anything other than 1 was unplayable. Also, consider giving the player more headroom on the first level. I found that unless I'm really fast the click of the play button will register in the game and I will crash immediately into the ceiling. With a little work this could be a pretty fun game!
RHY3756547
28. Aug 2014 · 15:14 UTC
It's probably worth mentioning that hard mode is completely impossible (can't get started on medium either, just keep hitting that top wall). Most of the time when I start the game I instantly hit the top wall and die because I'm clicking the play button to start it. I was able to play through in easy mode, and the level design was quite well thought out. Nice work.

The music is really cool - however I noticed that it is from http://www.nosoapradio.us/! All content in the game must be your own and made within the 48 hours, so unfortunately the audio breaks the 48h compo rules... Apart from that, the game is pretty solid on easy mode.

@RHY3756547 Thanks I'm glad you liked it! On the website you can find an update to the game that makes it wait until you click the space bar before the game starts. So that means no more instant deaths! :D I was going to make this a Jam entry but I didn't see the option by the time I got around to it. I wrote jam entry at the top of the description. Thanks for playing! :D

29. Aug 2014 · 21:09 UTC
Ridiculously hard even if you set the speed to something as low as 1 but still, pretty interesting game. Spaceship physics need some slight improving on (but still works) and the music was actually quite good.
🎤 Mallot1

@Xanjos I'm glad you liked it. Yes I noticed the top of the ship collision detecting is alittle off. Thanks for playing! :D

Something seriously off with the speed. Even on custom (4) with a speed of 1 it's a click-fest that's like a bad PC port of flappy bird...I did like the music though.

@Rehacked Thanks! I understand. If it's too hard you could set the speed to easy or 1. Thanks for playing.

Also, I agree with another poster's comment about your music source. It's against the rules to use music created by anyone else in the Jam, sorry.

@IamAcoconut Glad you liked it! You can change the speed to 1, It seems to be a popular speed setting :D It relates to the theme because you are in an alien ship on its way to Earth and you must get through the mazes to get off of the planet. Thanks for playing! :D
