GravDriftr by shellbot

[raw]
made by shellbot for LD 42 (COMPO)

LD02_small.gif

GravDriftr is a harrowing pursuit through space. Arcade style gameplay and visuals keeps you on your toes as you careen through space, comets, gravity wells, and black holes alike.

How long can you survive in space?!

...

This was a fun one to make! Probably the most fun I've had doing LD! Up until submission time panic.

Feedback is always appreciated :smile:

This game's great! I really love the graphics and just how fast everything moves when things start to get going. It was a bit to control the ship as more gravity wells showed up but there was a good sense of intensity that made it very exciting to play! Amazing!

@pixels-everywhere @zicboy @cope Thanks for the kind words, y'all!

@Ossi I did have some trouble getting the movement down, glad it didn't detract too much! Thanks :)

Art and sound was great. Love the music especially and the little voice that says 'Neutralized'. I found that 'jumping' a whole bunch bypassed most obstacles so I think having a cooldown on the jump would make the game feel a bit more .. tactical? Minor quibble really though. So fun!

@phlip45 ahh! I noticed this too, I was hoping the red wells would be a good deterant but I think a cooldown would have been a great addition! Thanks for the input :smile:
