Every step is a step forward (figuratively).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>(ps: I wish there was more of a real threat, except for crashing into mother Earth for the red plane. It would have made it much more interesting.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>*was it a plane or a heli?"},{"author_name":"43iscoding","author_uid":"35110","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:05am","epoch":1408964400,"text":"Gratz on your first Ludum Dare ^^ ( I know that feel :D )\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Aside from collision bugs, the thing, that bothered me the most is textfields. They were all different fonts\/colors\/size. And that pretty hurts my eyes !_! Try to maintain one style next time :)"},{"author_name":"Anshzinc","author_uid":"40540","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:29am","epoch":1408965840,"text":"@43iscoding haha, yeah, I actually forgot what font I was using initially so in hurry I chose randomly whatever was currently selected. It's pretty messy and ugly but I just wanted to finish making a playable game within time so went ahead without giving its look much thought. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Nananas Its a helicopter. I initially wanted to make different kinds of aircrafts (Predator drone, F-18 aircraft etc) but I was very late when I started developing so I kept this little helicopter. (It was initially a placeholder thing I drew in few seconds). \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks everyone."},{"author_name":"KeyMaster","author_uid":"30626","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:35am","epoch":1408966200,"text":"Quite nice for your first entry! The plane movement felt pretty nice, however a real danger or challenge was missing (I'm sure you're aware of that ;) Still, not bad, hoping to see another entry next time!"},{"author_name":"cudabear","author_uid":"25773","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:28pm","epoch":1408976580,"text":"Pretty good for only a couple of hours!  The flying physics were really well done.  Only problem was that holding down or up and reversing direction resulted in pointing the opposite direction, not game-breaking but a little annoying.  Very robust for what it is!  Not sure how it fits the theme though!"},{"author_name":"joseadrian","author_uid":"37194","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:33pm","epoch":1408976880,"text":"There are two things I would change about the game are: the enemies (you said it is an alien invasion :P) and let us keep the space bar pressed to shoot. Good game. Other than that... GJ !"},{"author_name":"Josh H","author_uid":"38721","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1408978560,"text":"For only a couple of hours, this isn't bad.

It definitely is quite good for a first game. I liked the idea. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked also the movement although it wasn't the standard movement in shooters, it had potential to be something different and fun. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>All in all the game is interesting definitely and looks good too :)"},{"author_name":"McFood","author_uid":"40120","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 7:41pm","epoch":1408995360,"text":"Simple and Fun, I liked it.
