The ship looks really great and controls not to direct, but not too spongy either, it's just right :) The skipability of the startsequence helps the game a lot to be challenging instead of frustrating!\rReally great work :)"},{"author_name":"David Colson","author_uid":"7076","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:11pm","epoch":1387321560,"text":"@StMatn You make very good points.

This however, is much better.\r\n\r\nIts really small and lacks content, but I focused on making it fun in the time I had, and for that I am happy.\r\n\r\nIn the game you play a space pilot hunting down another space craft who has stolen a bunch of Latinum (StarTrek Reference). The problem is, as you had to scramble so quickly you have only one rocket to shoot him down with.\r\n\r\nYou must dodge the asteroids and get as close as you can to the traitor so your only shot is successful.\r\n\r\nMove with mouse, click to skip cutscene if you so wish (don't at least one it took me so long!) and space to pause.\r\n\r\nYou can watch my timelapse here:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AXTLl7QdeqQ&feature=c4-overview&list=UUGLqqliI9dvCNnOYwSwkP7w\r\n\r\nThe first half of the Timelapse is the first game I made which I ditched.\r\n\r\nOh and by the way I haven't actually tested the Linux version so if anyone finds a problem with it please do tell me!\r\n","title":"Star Chase"}
