I was actually planning to do co-op (and many other features) but there was not enough time in 48h :)\nFor now few tips: use keyboard shortcuts 1 to 5 to switch ship's active area. When attacked by alien ships try to set designation far away and then quickly switch to weapons. Keep an eye on timer and be ready before new wave :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zantamar","author_uid":"1027963","time":"2017-05-02T21:40:55Z","epoch":1493761255,"modified":1493761255,"text":"Really interesting idea. I liked the strategy of switching between the ships modules, although it was hard to wrap my brain around at first. I have been toying with a similar idea, so I know it is hard to come up with fluid control switching, so great job on such short notice. The one thing I would love to see is the ship being kept on the screen. I got bumped off a few times and was initially quite confused about what had happened. Great first game, I hope to see it develop more!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rzfmzn","author_uid":"1013858","time":"2017-05-02T21:46:56Z","epoch":1493761616,"modified":1493761616,"text":"Low fps killed me!!! hahahahahah :)\nPlayed a lot, took me a couple of tries b4 discovering what to do properly :)\nPerhaps you should add more detail to your briefing like:\nmoving: click bridge (press 1) and click on destination\nShield: to recharge follow the pattern shown on bottom right\nResources: approach an asteroid and click in beam, press left when the circles overlap\n\nsomething like that (as far as I went),is there something to do after I gather all stones?\n\ncheers! :D","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"batmanasb","author_uid":"1005904","time":"2017-05-02T22:04:41Z","epoch":1493762681,"modified":1493762681,"text":"As the first comment said, this game is way to hard for one person and seems like a 2 to 4 player coop game.
