I wish you could reply to other people's comments on here. I figured the game was an early project, not beginner at all considering the complexity. There's upgrades, tiers of locked upgrades, maps that unlock those upgrades... etc. Didn't notice a performance hit, and my computer was $500ish from like... 2010? I don't even know. First play in 2022 and I liked it, I just have got to go to sleep for work tomorrow.

Well done dude, hopefully you've made something else in the meantime. I'll have to check when I get home. I'm sure it could've been better, but ~13 years ago? I'm not mad at all, still enjoyable!

That. BGM.

Lag killed this game. The tutorial freezes when you have just 20 ships! You click on a button and literally nothing happens for two seconds, real time. How is a flash game this slow in 2020? Are you using movieclips? You should be drawing all the ships as textures directly to a single "screen buffer" bitmap. Are you creating and destroying objects per-ship every frame? You should be using Object Pools! I've been out of the AS3 game for a while now, so the words I've used here might not be the most cutting-edge Flash optimization techniques, but I know pointless lag when I see it. There's no excuse for a game with this few moving parts running this slowly. But they're phasing out Flash at the browser level anyway, so do yourself a favor and learn Unity. Programming with JS in Unity is surprisingly similar to AS3, so the only thing you'd need to learn would be the editor.

I loved this game for years and am finally reviewing it.

I love this game! I love the simplicity yet the need for strategy. I love upgrades on any game and of course I go right for them on this game. With any of my upgrades peeves that I have is that it is nice to actually see the visual upgrade. i know that something like that is small but it is just one of my things with any upgrade in any game.

Resource games can be very addicting like this one. I just wish the lag, oh the severe lag. Its the only killer of the game that I can find. It almost makes the game unplayable, but it is very addicting so I keep coming back.

AI, is a little weak but that is fine because I believe that it is balanced with each side.

i can go on more but I want to play.

Thanks for the great game!

is there going to be Eridani 2?

so i've played this game some, and it's really something different to see this in a flash game, because yes: this is a quality game. and then you play and it's all good and it's a really well developed set of buildings and ships and such... but then your ship flies right passed the thing you want it to attack, or flies right into a mine after you told it to turn left twice... and the planetary destroyer, of all things, just won't stop going straight at the enemy... even though it can shoot form a distance. that's really something. i get it, it must be hard to program a good ai, but comepared to the other elements of this game the AI is really below standard.
