I think you can still live even if you run out of water. Also, there seems to be a limit to how far you can fall. Also, I didn't know there was gravity in space. I like the creativity.
* I liked the pixeled visuals.
* Interesting homing missile trajectories.
Negative:
* I missed a clear objective to continue playing other than moving arround and picking items.
* The controls feel a bit unresponsive.
Great work though!!
If the background has the possibility of having white stuff (stars, for example), try to put a border on the text, specially the title screen, make it fully readable, first impressions are always important! ;)
The controls felt a bit sluggish and jumping, when inside the main ship, felt a bit too much delayed. Also, while it does have a really nice minimap, it's still easy to get lost, specially if you distance yourself too much from the main ship. Put some direction indicator or something like that! ;)
By balancing some points and giving it a polish, you'll have a really nice game to work upon. :)
Good job there! ;)
Either way it's an impressively complex game given the time constraints! Great job!
P.S If you would like to check my game that would be great. Thanks :)
The rockets can easily detect you and the concept is great .
However the music is off-tone . Try learning a key ( Do Major uses only white keys ) and stick to it .
Best wishes !
You seem to have made the jump action work only when the space key is released instead of when it is pressed, which made it feel unresponsive, but it shouldn't be a difficult fix.
The game is a realluy good starting point, I think it just needs to be polished a bit more.
Good luck making it to the 20 rating line!
1 vote from me!
And nicely done btw ;-)
Took me a few minutes to figure out what to do - but turned out nicely in the end. Is there actually a way to "win" or do you just survive indefinitely?
