Sticktron 2077 by Stefan B.

made by Stefan B. for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Goal of the game

Try to reach the exit. The only Problem? You need to use your space to an optimum by deciding what weapons, shields, modules you are attaching. Enemies are everwhere and they will try to stop you from reaching your goal.

Add modules to make yourself stronger, but wait! Don't add too many modules at once as you might not fit through parts of the level.

Just four keys so even you can remember

WASD or Arrow Keys for movement

Interesting interpretation of the theme, I like it :)

The controls feel very nice, though I found it surprisingly dizzying, that the camera follows the ships rotation with a delay, while the ship is pointing to the right. A bit difficult to explain. I think, it's that I'm more familiar with either only the player is rotating or with the player character (or ship in your case) pointing upwards. I understand, that this would make visibility worse, if some danger would be in front of the player.

I really like the background effect with the stars (i think) :) Keep up the good work

Great Game, The sountrack is great and the camera is a cool touch.

Very lovely vibes. I really love the atmosphere of it and the game-play feels smooth and neat. The sound levels were a bit off at times, the effects & music levels felt weird together, but good enough. A jolly good jam entry and lot of room to improve if you get the feel. Awesome work!

The main mechanics has potentials, I thought I could assemble a major battleship.

I love the music and the vibe. The background looks amazing and feels really nice to fly though. I did get dizzy at the start but I got used to it after the first level

Yes @tmpxyz, there's unfinished levels that unfortunately did not (yet) make it into the game with more parts...

interesting concept! the camera made me feel sick though, game also didn't work in full screen for me (could not move) Graphics and sounds were nice. the concept of blowing up parts was fun and interesting, but the controls being what they are makes it difficult to have any kind of accuracy. good job :heart:

Really great jam entry! I thought the overall polish was pretty great. Decent amount of content, cool movement mechanics and docking system, and decent graphics. The rotating camera made me pretty dizzy. The music was great! Love that you were able to have a dynamic score that responds to player input. Well done.

I really liked the way how the movement feels. Very fluid.
Oh and the soundtrack is also very nice. Nice work

Excellent game! Fantastic! Atmosphere is awesome and it was really fun to play. Nice to see good games created with GoDot and also an honorable mention for "Just four keys so even you can remember" :D

The parallax effect in the background looks nice! the scaling of the font was a bit off though, as if the font size used was too small and scaled up to much. midrun i had to switch from fullscreen to small browser window, cause the cam made me so dizzy haha. movement felt really smooth though. neat entry! keep on jamming!

Cool module-based game! I really enjoyed the fluidity of movement and module attachment!

Very moody game with well done movement. very enjoyable.
I somehow managed to either get the ship (core) stuck or crashed the game once (I couldn't move anymore), but afer a restart, all was well.

It's fun but the controls are a bit wacky. The camera rotates with the player which is nice, but the player is always facing to the right, when I think facing up would be more intuitive. Well made though, and the tutorial is well developed

Nice game overall. I especially liked the audio which set a great overall mood. As others have said, the camera was a bit dizzying at times and the controls are bit strange since "up" is to the right, but you can get used to it after a while. Great job overall!

Wow, that spinning camera was weird :D But all in all enjoyable, didn't get into the mechanics of the modules too much because I couldn't get past level 3 :-)

Chill audio, i like it. Controls are polished and the game fun to play. :smile:
Just a little be hard to understand the utility of the modules but maybe it's me :wink:
Good job!

Interesting concept but kind of confusing to play, the zoomed in camera makes it hard to see where you're going, and the rotation feels strange to me.
I think after completing level 3 or so the game went back to the menu, so it feels like the tutorial part was 90% of my (short) playtime.
Great music and mood though !

Music is fantastic! Like the idea but got nauseous by camera movement. Also was hard to get used that forward button actually moves you to the right.
Good luck!

Controls were nice but the game made me a bit sea sick after a moment. It's a really good project for a jam, however if you want to add more to it once the jam is done I recommend giving the player the capacity of starting over where he died, skipping the tutorial and all, even maybe having a level selector of the ones he already did. Overall a good game.

I found using up to move right disorienting, I wish I could use up/down to rotate and left/right to control forward/reverse because then it'd match the screen orientation. The mechanic of attaching modules works well and is interesting and the physics were helpful for the gameplay.

Interesting game, reminds me of Captain Forever. I wish there were more than 3 levels to really show off all the modules.

Even with simple graphics, it freezes a lot, taking a long time to load as well. Maybe the background image is a huge sprite or has a lot of real-time effects, I don't know. The music is very pleasant. The spinning gameplay made me dizzy
