The Drone can usually be found on one of the edges of the map, but sometimes they are near the station.
The kitty is placed randomly (like everything except the Mining Station) someplace in the level. I usually upgrade the ships engine first, then use a grid search pattern to find the kitten, and the drone.
(I'm thinking it would be too hard even with the upgrades).
But some improvement and it could be really fun game.
PS: found the kitty :)
With the higher engines you can outrun the shots they fire, and the higher your weapon is the more accurate they get. Then it just a matter of kiting them where they need to be so you can hit them.
Shigor; I have seen that issue as well, I'm not sure what causes them to not spawn.
It could have used a little more clear instructions at the beginning, but aside from that it was very straight forward and fun. Good work.
@ Th3dz Make sure you are running alone.exe, and not the other one. I have ran and tested the game on two different W7 computers, and haven't found a game breaking bug.
@ whilefun What part of the controls? just the default controls (you can change them) or that you had to use a button to upgrade the ship?
I just downloaded the .zip from the above link and it wasn't password protected, and the website is not password protected from viewing. So I'm not really sure what you are referring to.
