Graphic quality is excellent, and the idea is simple but well-executed.\n\nI would have liked an option to skip the (very slow) pre-level scene each time I died. It got tedious while I was still figuring out the controls and mechanics. The somewhat sluggish actual gameplay didn't bother me, and seemed fitting given that I was flying a cargo ship.\n\nThanks for the game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"multiplexor","author_uid":"1006217","time":"2018-04-24T22:17:21Z","epoch":1524608241,"modified":1524608434,"text":"Thanks everyone for the feedback! \n\nI did a reupload of the WebGL version with some fixes and adjustments (Changed the respawn process to bring you right back into action) and fixed some colisions!

Here are my thoughts:\n\n**Good** \n\nThe little flame effect on the spaceships is pleasing\n\nThe sound effect of the text being displayed seems like a better tone than most I hear\n\nThe unloading particle effect is real nice\n\nI like that the last item gets dropped if the column is full\n\n**Improvements**\n\nTo me, it's just a little too hard to align your ship to the row.  Maybe make it a little bit easier\n\nI'd like the option to use WASD, my hands are in new territory with this game\n\nI think that some of the animations are slow.  Like when the Buy menu appears and when the gates open, it just takes a while when you add it all up\n\n\nGreat game overall, probably one of my most highest scored.  See you in the next jam.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CG_Fred","author_uid":"1042058","time":"2018-04-27T18:56:17Z","epoch":1524855377,"modified":1524855377,"text":"Great game! However the cut scenes were a bit to slow and I couldn't skip them so each time you reach the end of the level you have to wait a bit before the ship docks and everything. I found it annoying the ship moves a little bit to the opposite side when you let go of the buttons, this makes the match 3 element of the game much more unpredictable in a frustrating way. \n\nAll in all a good game, keep it up!

A really good mix of ideas that fit perfectly. Great art style and music. Fun, tricky and with a good level up system. The only think that I had some issue it's the controls, since when i move to left\/right it moves a bit too much and sometimes i cannot put a power up in the correct slot.

It might be possible to improve this without actually improving it, but by adding in some visual feedback about where it's going to end up if you don't touch the controls.\n\nControls felt a little sluggish and I wasn't sure, but it felt like the ship would drift a bit when I wasn't expecting it. I also didn't feel like I had enough time to kill most things and dodge asteroid shards when I got them. Perhaps it would play better in a portrait aspect ratio?\n\nGood job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DaragonGames","author_uid":"1006964","time":"2018-05-12T01:02:05Z","epoch":1526086925,"modified":1526086925,"text":"Really awesome Game.
