@phantomeniasll the loose energy is part of the mechanic of the game.

Pleasant space shooter, enjoyed the sounds the most and the backdrop is beautiful! Was hoping for the background to be animated, some parallax would make this so much better. Great stuff!

Thank you @harry-damm. Yes the parallax was missing, next feature will be this one.

I like it, very traditional side scroller. Both sound and graphics makes a nice coherent style. I get kind of a space horror vibe, a bit like Event Horizon or something like that. I enjoyed it, but it's haaaaard - or maybe I'm just bad at shooters. :D
The energy system is a nice idea, it adds an extra element of decisionmaking for the player, how much of a risk you want to take to get the pickups.

@esben-jensen Great! Great! You have the spirit that we tried to go through the game, it really was difficult, I think, though I liked it, thank you very much for the review.

Nice game!
It is an interesting idea :smiley:
I really like the graphics and sound.

But I have to complain - it's a bit hard. My spaceship is destroyed on every contact with anything. I would rather suppose it took a part of the fuel instead :wink:

@phantomeniasll the initial countdown in the countdown no more energy is lost, previously I did not understand your comment correctly. We fixed that now, thanks

I Like the level music and the tone that is set for the game. The fuel draining without moving is troubling for me and, the ship doesn't respond fast enough to the key commands. I die within the first 30 seconds for sure everytime.

Sounds and music are cool. Very atmospheric, I love space. For more epic worth, add motion to the background - parallax.

It is very difficult to play. Fuel drums are invisible, they need to be made brighter. The ship almost does not fly up and eats a lot of fuel. I fly up to 3 barrels maximum

Nice style and 3d-2d approach. Mechanics are a little fuzzy but cool idea.

@hybridkin and @vertuga32 Thanks for reviews and play. We will soon make the commands faster. The fact is that we imagine the game to be a "Dark Souls" of the ships and the theme of Jam, but the commandos should be better. It may be necessary to make the game a bit easier, a little, as they did with "Sekiro", LOL

Best art that I have seen so far! Be prideful in that and the fact that you released a game! Anyhow sorry if this sounds kind of like a rant. It was very challenging. If I was you make the fact that you shoot with the control key more obvious I did not notice this until the end of my play session. That made it very, very challenging. Or maybe I was just being stupid. IDK. Although once I did use it I found that it still didn't do much. I guess I expected to be able to shoot the asteroids and destroy them. Also shooting the guys that shoot towards you is nearly impossible so there is little use in using the commands.

I played it and it was a bit hard maybe fuel can be bigger at beginning it makes player feel that the game is very hard or uncompleted. But i loved art and asteroids i think. :D Good luck!

Ok... I tried to play this 3 times and every time I lost all fuel before any object even enter the screen :/

Overall a okay little Game, but it somehow needs some final touches. The visual style is good, but there needs to be some more animations to make the field a bit more alive. And yes some parallax effect with background could be good, and perhaps some camera shake.

Hello @caveman54, the asteriods can be destroy, only the smalls, initially a bug in the code prevented this from happening correctly, in any case we will do an investigation. About the shot, did you say ctrl L? WE put the information about that in main menu. if I do not understand, correct me, thanks for the review!

@jestemstefan and @curled-leaf, thanks for play our game. Maybe the fuel need a little change and improved in the truth.

Had to restart the game after encountering an issue where my fuel drained at a super fast rate, but afterwards was able to play for a bit. Great job on the atmosphere and look.

I am also one of the players who runs out of fuel almost as soon as the countdown ends. I am not sure if im doing something wrong or not.

Ok I tried again and figured it out. If anyone else cant play this, make sure your graphic settings are not set to very low.

The game is quite challenging to shoot at the enemies cause your ship doesnt have any acceleration or smaller movements but this game has got some really cool graphics I like! and the game is quite intuitive to play
