Great potential
Great idea and a great twist on an old concept. I have two suggestions-
1) More weapons or maybe a weapon upgrade system
2) Put more effort into the story!! this game would have blown me away if there was a story to it. You already have a basic one, you just need more interactions and a better ending.
innovative idea, addicting and fun. 9/10
Slow. Awesome. Still slow.
Totally liked the game, but there were several downsides...
1. Performance. Yes, I didn't feel any problem while playing story on my middle-end desktop. But - as soon as I went into Challenge mode, sometimes I had less than 1 frame per second.
so - an option to toggle off the trace lines would be appreciated
2. Bosses. First one was the hardest one - you actually needed to dodge. With the second one you just needed to dodge or break missile in first part - and stay in one place hammering away at launching port. Third one - hide in the corner and shoot. No need to move much... Maybe make them harder?
3. Ship balance. Possibly connected with previous one - as soon as I got the little ship, I loved it. It has terrific firepower and can dodge anything with ease - just at a cost you lose it from one hit. Not die - just lose this ship. I never was shot down in this thing - so maybe add some positive properties to other ships - say, SANE aiming for the missile launcher, and more armor to the "truck", and do anything with the sideshooter? They are way too underpowered in comparison to the small ship - and therefore useless as you get it
I liked the game - but you could do something with playability... If not for the terrible performance, challenge mode would be really fun.
Oh, and one actual bug. If your CPU is under stress, game may turn into something weird - you flying around as a spark yet invincible (you don't die as energy runs out) and a non-capturable ship flying nearby, covered in some interface animations. It's weird =/
5/5, 9/10
Truly awesome
It was very entertaining but i have some things to say
-too short
-some slowdown at parts
-it needs more ships to control
-it is too awesome to have just one game
Amazing fun.
this is one of my favorite side-scrolling games in a long time. i am suprised no one had thought of this before. So, since it is the first of it's kind it is extremely original and very fun. the only problem with it is that if you got one of the little ships (the ones that fire fast but have only one hit until they are dead) you can beat any boss without ever taking a hit! on each boss level there is one spot on the far left hand side of the screen, it is different for every boss, and on that side you can never take a hit but can kill anything the boss throws out before it can get a shot off lol.
But this game is an extreme amount of fun, one of the best i have played in a while. i love that there are various types of ships and they way they are integrated into the game level by level.
Again, extremely origininal, extremely fun.
Next next next Bentley!!!!!
Ship possesion?!!!
Holy shit how's no one thought on this nice spin to the
sidescrolling shooter???
