I think that if you plan to improve the game in the future, maybe moving the camera a little bit to see where you are aiming would feel good, I think. I'm not sure if it's a matter of taste but I wanted to look at what I was shooting (the issue appeared only when I was moving back). Also, adding more feedback when being hit could help improve the overall experience. In general I think it's a good entry, very nice.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ZebraInFlames","author_uid":"1013249","time":"2017-05-03T18:31:30Z","epoch":1493836290,"modified":1493836290,"text":"Very nice audio and visual assets and sfx - especially liked the warping effect. The game mechanics could perhaps use some improvement, it's often hard to find an enemy to shoot, and aiming is occasionally difficult. Perhaps some way to (slightly?) aim the camera would help?

And I'll even throw in a grammy :)\n\nThough I found the gameplay a bit buggy - or I didn't understand some mechanic behind it, at some point I always got glued to the plane border :\/ Nevertheless it's a really fun experience with really pretty graphics to match.\nDid I mention the sounds? :D\n\nIt's a project with loads of potential. I'd love to see it developed more - If I may suggest something, allow player to aim with mouse instead of just by positioning the sphere, it would make the gameplay much more fluent. You've got a great game on your hands, push it further!\n\nBTW, we both made a similar crawl as an intro, though yours is of course much more Star Wars'y ;)\n\nCheers!\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ithildin","author_uid":"1000455","time":"2017-05-18T01:17:37Z","epoch":1495070257,"modified":1495070257,"text":"Graphics and music (THE MUSIC!!! :clap: :clap:) were top notch, from the best I've seen so far.\n\nAs for gameplay, I started playing expecting a shooter similar to Geometry Wars or Waves, both of which I love, and had some problems figuring out what to do. Eventually I managed to get it right, but I still felt that there wasn't a real challenge. However, like @takusan I also agree that there's a great foundation here for a solid game. For example, I like the fact that you need to take care of dodging your own projectiles, that idea can probably be developed further.\n\nGood job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tommyflower","author_uid":"1014558","time":"2017-05-18T19:52:49Z","epoch":1495137169,"modified":1495137169,"text":"Omg!

There's an odd delay to the gravity well effect and the movement of things in general is very... floaty? They don't seem to have any mass at all.\n\nI'd prefer to use the gravity well to fling the bombs around as physics based shenanigans are more interesting than the usual *pew pew* nonsense, but the area is too small rendering it finicky to use at the moment. Lasers are a much safer bet, except when they wrap around the world and hit you in the back side. I do like that idea!\n\nOverall an ok entry. The interactivity in this *highlyinteractive* production is lacking unfortunately and I find that disturbing.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tony Godfrey","author_uid":"1012400","time":"2017-05-19T19:18:35Z","epoch":1495221515,"modified":1495221515,"text":"I really love the mesh bending and other effects used in this game.
