A few ideas that could benefit the gameplay IMO, you could make the enemies to follow you and go to the ship at the same time. otherwise you can make the follow you and they'll stop attacking the ship. A few other weapons wold also be a fine adition. \n\nThere's an object at the bottom right that for some reaso absorbs the enemies, not sure if that's supposed to be there.\n\nGreat job, congrats on your game!! \n\nBTW, a nuclear explosion blew me away, was there a chance of survival??","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":784407,"author_name":"TheGamer","author_uid":"thegamer","epoch":1649132001,"text":"@webox The object at the bottom right is the obelisk.

It really gives off a nice mood with the screen shake and music too. However from a design perspective it is a bit questionable. There isn't anything interesting here, little to no explanation is given, and finally a lot of the stuff is just confusing at first.

It was a unclear at first what the purpose of the obelisk was. I love the art and sound. The music, combined with the bare landscape and the fact you are enclosed by visible borders of the map makes for a surprisingly lonely mood. The gameplay is quite simple, and would need more development to have any kind of replay value. Pretty cool game overall, needs some further design considerations to improve fun.
