You're a space pirate on your journey in the endless vastness of deep space.

You can light up your engines, shoot other spaceships. But quick! You're running out of food! Did you check how much water is left? Is the air getting thin? Go and find a planet where you can buy those resources. But how do you get the money?Desktop Screenshot 2021.04.26 - 19.43.58.90.png Desktop Screenshot 2021.04.26 - 19.45.30.36.png Desktop Screenshot 2021.04.26 - 19.44.18.94.png

This was a pretty fun, well put together game. I will say a couple things, for one, it's WAY too hard. I was usually getting blown up before I could even think about finding a planet. Also, the radar should show nearby enemies. It would also be way more fun if the enemies died in 1 or 2 hits instead of taking a whole barrage.

One last thing, you shouldn't have opted out of the humor category, since the planets blowing up after you're finished with them is hilarious.

I like it, the ships is fun to strafe around with to blast others into oblivion. My main gripe would be the background that is too dense with stars so when the camera moves you get a "jittering" feeling which is really distracting. Overall a solid effort, well done! :)

A really nice and challenging game, managing resources while fighting to earn money is keeping you on your toes all the time, the AI and fighting mechanics feel very good, having the minimap is very helpful to understand that there are planets that you can visit.

Our games are very similar, but I like that you went for the pirate approach! I think the resource low sounds is a bit harsh on the ears, but otherwise great entry!

Nice game, biggest gripe is my partner complained whenever the alarm was going off and I had to get headphones.

dang this is a challenge to control but I actually liked it. sluggish and really hard to accelerate but the player can learn to balance and control both eventually.

Nice jam. Interesting mechanics. The background is nice, but a bit heavy on the eyes. Also some dots on the minimap are dark, and are barely seen. Nice graphics and audio!

Nice and very pretty game but very hard. I really missed the repair facilities on planets so I could spend my hard earned money on getting my ship fixed. Getting spawn camped by 3 or even 4 enemies was no fun.

My name is the Space Pirate Ryoko!

Very nicely made. Some of the audio needs to be tweaked to not urk the players for long periods of time but overall I really like this game. Kudos!

The planets explode after I go shopping - I am the most DREADED PIRATE in the whole Universe! *insert evil laugh here*

The game is challenging. It was truly hard to survive even a few minutes. All the enemies are tough - I found their weakness though! If I went very close to them, like touching them, I could kill them easily before they even got their wits about them (they didn't seem to be shooting at me when I just rammed into them).

It would be nice if the alarm was combined with maybe some flashing of the resource it is complaining about :).
