Save the Galaxy by GameJMunk

[raw]
made by GameJMunk for LD 42 (COMPO)

NOTE: This game was made in 48 hours by Kostyantyn Milkevych for Ludum Dare 42 Compo.

Save the Galaxy, and don't run out of space.

The Story: Humanity discovered how to convert space into a lot of energy. Now everything runs on space, including your hp-shield and gun.

Humanity lives happy, but some evil people have built an evil machine to do their evil plan: to convert our galaxy to energy and kill us all.

You must prevent that outcome, by infiltrating their different bases.

Controls: You move and jump with ARROW KEYS or WASD. Shoot with SPACE and reload with R. In the “story” menus between/before levels, you can only use LMB (left mouse button) to continue.

Game Tips: Don't forget to reload when necessary. You can see how many bullets you have left, in the bottom right corner.

Health and Space pickups can be timed for better effectivity.

The more you destroy on each level, the better score you will get.

There's permadeath, so watch out! demo4.PNG demo2.png demo5.png

The pixel art and the music/sounds were pretty good. You only incorporate the theme into your story and not in your gameplay

Personally I found the gameplay to be a bit bland and didn't feel like I was put into an interesting situation or felt too challenged.

@rosden Thank you for the feedback! This is my first ever game jam, and my first ever finished game. I am thankful for your feedback and understand that the game isn't challenging enough for some. If i had more time, then i would have added more and harder levels with better variety.
Thanks again for your feedback :).

The enemies should have a limit on their range and longer reaction time. Caught me getting shot from enemies i didn't even see most of the time. However the graphics are neat.

Nice visual could have been more challenging but it was still fun

Cool platformer! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/wNBCLkIQclA

Nice platformer. The story(in the description) in old school style, which is great. The game reminds me Contra))

A [your extravagant adjective] platformer filled with a rich humourous back story haha. But it really is a nice entry, more of the story please hehe

A nice charming platformer. Very easy to play. I didn't realise that the screen of text will go away when you click the screen. Moreover, when I ran out of health... nothing happened.

Having said that, this was really fun to play.
