You submitted your game to my youtube channel for a play through, Here is the video that features your game.
Hi. I played your game and recorded it on a video. It was fun. I love such games. However, I did not like that I had to restart the game from the beginning when I die. Also, I think that it would be cool if such game had some sandbox elements like going to places and selling ore, getting better ships and more different powers. :D If you want me to delete the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.
Hi - the new version allows you to restart the level instead of going back to the start when you die. Thanks again for the feedback.
awesome. you did a great job. I will try it again later. :)
I just replayed your game. You did a great job. It still has some bugs. However, you can fix it and add more things. :D
Thanks again for playing. I play-test the game so much that it's hard to know how diffiult it is for someone who is just starting. I fixed the bug with the upgrades. A couple of tips - stay away from the boundaries - it's easy to get "pinned down" when you're next to one. The exploding asteroids in level 5 are not a bug (read the intro to the level). On that level in particular it's important to shoot at asteroids from afar, if possible. You can also buy the "content sensor" upgrade. In addition to showing you how much gold, iron, and cobalt is inside of an asteroid, it will show a warning if it has gas inside, i.e. it explodes. The best upgrade, in my opinion, is the weapons upgrade. It gives you double-barrelled shooting so you can really kick some butt. Anyway, thanks again for playing and enjoy!
it makes sense. :D I love it. I will try it more times in the future.
