STORY

You are Captain Yag Isenhoofa III, skilled air force pilot of the Umanoids. Betrayed by your closest friend, you find yourself without a ship, and stranded in the orbit of a planetoid in a hostile sector. Waves of Woobledongles continuously attack you. Luckily, you're not the only thing in orbit: gun turrets from your exploded ship are in orbit around the planetoid as well. Use the turrets to fend off the Woobledongle waves, and kill every last Woobledongle in sight.

Fun and catchy game. Jumping from weapons should be open to the player to do it instead of change, but I liked it in general.

Loved the graphics btw

Cool game with a very nice feel. A big part of that is due to some very satisfying sound effects I think. The idea of moving around by switching between two loops moving opposite directions fits pretty well, but there isn't much recourse to dodge enemy bullets if you're not in the jump window. I reckon more freedom in terms of when you can jump would help give the player more options.

But yeah other than some balance issues it's quite polished, I like it 🙂

Really awesome game! My only complaint is that all those turrets are unnecesssary. I stayed on one turret all the way without the need of jumping to another. Maybe if you had to protect the planet instead of yourself, or give the turrets limited ammo would make the switching mandatory and more interesting.

Cool game! I like the way you can jump between turrets and that they also have their own abilities, you really have to think about not only avoiding the enemies but using the turret thats best for the current situation. Well done :thumbsup:

Spaceinvaders but you have to stick to a loop - simple & fun game, with nice art and good sfx

I like the game and the action, the jumping between different guns is nice but sometimes not so necessary, the gun with 3 bullets it is not so good.. Good Job
