An Unconventional Space Battle? by shatley123

made by shatley123 for LD32 (COMPO)

Thank you for everybody who decided to click on my game today! In this game you are spaceShip, and you use either a grappling hook/tractor beam type weapon to hook your enemies and bring them into certain "space cutting station thingies" to kill them, or you can shoot, but it blurs you vision to the point were you almost can't see anything.

This game was alot of fun to make, and I didn't overdue it like last time so I was rushing to hit the deadline or anything. I hope you guys have fun playing it! Please leave your highscores in the comments. I've haven't really used WebGL in Unity yet so i'm not sure if the chrome web version works.

***The best way for this game to be played is full screen in a 16 by 9 resolution***

Sorry if anybody tried to use the links and they weren't working. I'm having issues with MediaFire, so I switched to DropBox.

It was fun to play. Controlling the ship was hard, at least for me.

Hi there, congratulations for your game. The ideia of a space tow truck is very good. I would recommend you to use more time to polish the controls in the next game, physics is always trick =] Nice job.

Interesting game, I like the grapple mechanic.
I think you should've sticked to it and avoided blaster altogether.
Sound needs more polish (I don't think it adds to the game in current form), and obviously graphics do too, but overall not bad.

the controls feels a bit sluggish and I would prefer to aim the grapple with the mouse instead of the front of the ship, but I like the idea of dragging them to their death mwahahahah

Not bad, but it feels rather hard to control. Could use some music in the background, and maybe some power ups to keep it interesting.

I must admit, that it wasn't easy for me hauling those badies into the space-net-thing. But it is a concept that totally works. I can imagine how hard it must have been to get the mechanics working right. You have my respect. Great entry!

Nice idea! A little hard to control and it is frustrating that the "net" turns your ship, but a good entry.

Nice game, I like the grappling function but don't really see the choice of different weapons. Great game still, congrats!

Nice looking meny, not many games have that! The pixels graphics is really looking good! The gameplay is a bit slow, but once you get a hang of it, it's quite fun! Good job! :)
