Actually, the art for this game is pretty nice. And one of the great things about spaceships (of which there are many) is that they can be quite modular. I never quite managed to achieve warp (those homing bombs were too much for me) but I did manage to make some pretty looking ships. :smile:
It would have been cool for the different parts to give the ship different abilities, but that may have been beyond the scope of what was possible in the course of a weekend.
Overall, good job. Thanks for sharing your game.
Nice effect on the engines! I liked that
I think some background asteroids, or otherwise stationary object, would help see the movement, because otherwise when flying forward and nothing on screen, with a fixed space background it visually seems as if you are not moving at all.
Rotating the ship should probably be around it's center, looks awkward that the axis appears to be at the cockpit
Explosion animation seems too slow, maybe a faster frame rate?
adding asteroid to collide with would have added a lot here too!
I like the way you made things float, it looks very natural.
I really like this king of games, would totally love to play it again if it ever got expanded.
Great idea and good execution, well done!
