The design of the game is as follows: you are a survivor trapped in an escape pod, slumbering, until you awake to the loud impact caused by your pod crashing into a derelict ship. You board the ship and manage to get the basic systems (engine, life support, weapons - should be only a burst laser at first) up and running. You scrounge the universe for scrap to upgrade the systems, get better systems and in the end have your revenge.\nUnfortunately due to this being my first video game project, having to learn Godot from zero and being our first project as a team, we didn't manage to implement all the features we planned. But we will continue to make updates to the game post LD.\n\n@4quet Thank you for playing the game. We have @rampagebunneh to thank for the superb pixel art graphics and coming up with the idea of generating random ship styles from a predefined set of body parts. Particle effects and ship generation implemented by @adrians. We will take a look at refining the controls in a later update.\n\n@catiliangames Thanks for completing the only level we managed to implement. :smile: I didn't have time to implement the victory and lose screens so I just displayed the corresponding message on the overlay. Art designed by @rampagebunneh , music and sound effects designed by @rampagebunneh and others mentioned in the Credits of the game accessible from the main menu. @adrians is responsible for implementing the particle effects.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Palemek","author_uid":"1147284","time":"2019-10-08T20:04:54Z","epoch":1570565094,"modified":1570565094,"text":"Great art, cool sounds and retro atmosphere. Short introduction scene is super cool and we really wish that there would be second level <3 maybe some asteroids are too fast to be avoided and could be slower?

Got some nice gradients there. Gameplay seems pretty Astroids-esque  with the controls and wrap around screen but still pretty solid. The sounds effects also fit pretty well.

The gameplay seemed a bit un-dramatic, in that the enemies didn't feel very \"present\", more like hazards. The ending was also very abrupt. With more time, i can imagine some more depth would have been added to the game, but the foundation was definitely there.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Alexander Ravenheart","author_uid":"1159725","time":"2019-10-09T06:11:41Z","epoch":1570601501,"modified":1570601501,"text":"@guitarbro @adamcyounis Thanks for playing our game.
