At first glance, the graphics looked quite nice. There were a few artifacts going on, but nothing immersion breaking.
Game had a full flow, from start to end, and you can replay, which is always a plus for a Ludum Dare Entry.

The gameplay was okay- The camera placement felt a bit weird to me, but I did manage to figure out how to play. The minimap and the arrow was a nice addition. I must admit that gameplay-wise it was a bit lacking- Nothing a few post jam tweaks can't help.

Thanks for sharing your game :-)

Definitely has potential :D
I tried to collide with an asteroid, but I survived! Great you had this working on WebGL. Nice LD entry :raised_hands:

The graphics look really cool, is the ship a 3d model baked into a texture or something else. I think full mouse controls would be better. Pergormance on the webGL version was good. Cool game.

@beelzeboss Thanks😀!!! The ship is a complete 3D model inside of a game, it is not a baked texture

I enjoyed this one. Took me a minute to figure out where I was shooting... I think it is where the mouse is, but only in certain parts of the screen. I like'd that you had the moon in there, I took a little trip away from Earth to go see that. Good job!

Graphics are cool and I like the spaceship model. The sound effects are a bit harsh, but the music isn't too bad. Sometimes the shooting can be a bit finicky where asteroids will take a lot of shots to blow up, but I like that the cross-heirs are movable by the mouse. At first I tried the game on the browser version and I have to say, it runs Much better on my computer (I would even suggest you consider removing the web version because it's almost unplayable).

@hawke-games I will fix the shooting post jam, and I will remove the web version

Although the WebGL build is quite laggy, once I downloaded the Windows version I was able to play just fine. It's a fun, simple space shooter. What's not to like? :D Good job

Cool game! :) You feel like a real spaceship pilot! :) And the salvation of the world depends only on me! :) Refine this game and release it! :) Great job! :)

The graphics looked good, and the game play was pretty good, but it did take me a bit to figure out how to actually shoot down anything. I'm not entirely sure what the 3D aspect of this game added, it honestly just felt more clunky than I think it would have as a 2D game. Overall though, I thought it was pretty good.

I liked the main spaceship and the idea that you are saving dinosaurs. 3D movement felt bit awkward but overall nice idea.

@doomshmuck @7ruzgar07 @boclow Thanks! I will probably refine the 3D aspect after the jam and update the game.

Pretty cool, well done! I had a bit of trouble figuring out where I was shooting - I think a crosshair or some kind of feedback on screen would have helped 😅

@woahitsjeff I actually implemented a crosshair but it doesn't appear in web build

Nice game! It's a shame that the crosshair doesn't work in in the web version as it does make it kind of hard to shoot given the perspective, but even so it was fun to try and hit the asteroids. Awesome job!

@jamie-slowgrove Yeah you are right, I will update the shooting for this game post-jam
