Reboot Göran by antax02

[raw]
made by antax02 for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Göran, your robot pal with benefits, has been kidnapped and dragged across the entire galaxy, leaving you in lonely despair. But lucky you, all of Göran’s body parts are tagged with GPS trackers (blue arrow) that once made mornings easier... and now mean he can be saved!

Track him down piece by piece, even if marksmen and otherworldly beings stand in your way, all for love!

Pilot your spaceship with the (mouse) and use the (spacebar) to thrust forward. Unleash your twin directed-energy weapons (left mouse button) and engage your freshly installed hyperdrive (right mouse button) to aid your journey to Reebot Göran!

Pretty fun, the acceleration feels a little on the slow side to me but the aim is great and graphics look nice and modern!

It looks pretty nice - minimalist, but consistent and well-executed :)
When it comes to gameplay, it's pretty limited. I couldn't figure out how to attack or defend myself effectively.

The game is programmed very well and was fun to play, but:
1. The controls are very sluggish, not responsive enough.
2. Using the mouse for the direction of the ship travels is tedious. The A and D as well as the arrow keys might have been better.

The arrow pointing the way was excellent!

Interesting idea! I like the concept of having to counter momentum with thrusts in the correct direction but the controls felt a little hard to get exactly where you wanted to go. Some extra directionality may have solved this, like W thrusts in the direction you're facing and S thrusts in the opposite direction (rather than having to spin your whole ship around)?

The other thing I found a little hard to use was the weapons. There being two mounted off centre meant that you were never firing where your mouse was, which didn't feel great having to aim off centre. A single gun on the tip of the craft or having some method that converged the lines of fire at the cursor may improve this.

Overall though, a fun experience - nice job! :D

I managed to save the day and beat the game collecting all 4 parts! It's a fun game (I did cheat a bit after I found out you could click faster to shoot more) and the graphics/audio are nice! My main pain points would be that the guns were offset making it harder to hit enemies than if it were centered and that maybe moving the movement to wasd might have been nicer though that might just be me.

The game's mechanics are both challenging and rewarding, I like it!
