Core Breach by buckmeister

[raw]
made by buckmeister for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Your spaceship's core is unstable and about to breach. Defend yourself against turrets, pick up coins, coolants for your core and heal yourself from the damage caused by turrets. Reach the local system's jumpgate. Screenshot from 2021-10-05 00-03-19.pngScreenshot from 2021-10-05 00-02-40.png

Todo

Ideally, we'd like to have gotten around to gating the passage into the jumpgate on collecting a certain amount of coins.

Additionally, some nice cutscene-like animation at the beginning of a level would have increased immersion.

I had a hard time understanding the objectives or what the environment was about. Maybe having a way-point system give some step-by-step instructions to the player on the first level could help clarify game-play?

Nice graphics and controls! Reminds me a great deal of Oolite! I like how the ship feels to move, but the game lacks a sense of objective. I can simply power past turrets using the shift key, or shoot them from across the map with little to no worry.

Still, nice job!
