It might just be that there ends up being too many voices after a while and OpenFL just gives up and stops playing them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And yeah, it can be hard to maneuver when you're a tier 4 or 5 ship - they have a lot of mass. Especially if you're shooting a lot, since the recoil pushes you back and can make it harder to steer. You get 5 seconds before starting to lose life, though, so it's definitely not too hard to get back unless you go way out of bounds."},{"author_name":"starpixie","author_uid":"12750","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 5:39am","epoch":1461130440,"text":"Great entry!

Luckily, your trusty ship can gather parts and energy from your opponents to reconfigure itself in different ways and recover its armor. Try to survive and reach a tier 5 ship!\r\n\r\nEvery 10 seconds, if you have enough parts, your ship will reconfigure into a new design, refilling your health and giving you new weapons. Blast enemies to earn parts and stay alive.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS \r\n---------------- \r\nKeyboard and Mouse: \r\n- W\/A\/S\/D or Arrow Keys: Move your ship around \r\n- Mouse: Aim\r\n- Mouse Button 1: Shoot\r\n- ESC: Exit game \r\n\r\nABOUT DEVELOPMENT \r\n---------------- \r\nOur goal for this LD was to do an action game involving some sort of shooting with varied weapons. Our last entry in LD33 (Massacre Monday) was a melee action game, so we wanted to try something a bit different in the same genre. We struggled a bit with coming up with an idea that fit the theme, so we weren't quite sure where to go with the game for a little while. That left us with a bit less time than we would have liked, but we did manage to finish the core of the game's design and do some polish, which is always a win.\r\n\r\nThere are still a couple of minor bugs or crashes that pop up every now and then that we're trying to track down, so any bug reports in the comments are awesome.\r\n\r\nAll the art, design, sound effects,and code for this game were created during the 72 hour jam period. The engine is written in Haxe, using OpenFL\/HaxeFlixel. All the art was made using mosly Pixen and Photoshop, or procedurally generated in-game. Sound effects were made with bfxr.\r\n\r\nWHO ARE WE? \r\n---------------- \r\nWe are a two man team from Warrior General Games, creators of Goal Line Blitz 1 and 2 and Mighty Brawlers. You can find us at http:\/\/warriorgeneral.com. This is our third Ludum Dare entry.\r\n\r\nYou can follow our lead developer on Twitter at @wg_phancock if you want to keep tabs on what we're up to. \r\n\r\n\r\nMUSIC CREDITS \r\n---------------- \r\nMusic used in this game is available on the Free Music Archive by the following artist. Thanks! \r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/Goto80\/Open_Funk_Sores\/00_goto80_-_ren_onsdags-skit","title":"Reconfigure"}
