I really do. But it's so hard to see, and even with headphones, it's nearly impossible to tell where the alien is coming from because the minimap\/radar thing doesn't rotate with the player.

The only thing I would change there is that I would put in a scarier sound for when you get hit by the alien; the "pop" that is used just doesn't feel right.\r\rOther than that, I'm not sure whether or not you're supposed to actually be able to kill the aliens. I've gotten times where I've got a good dozen shots on it, but still got hit and it disappeared. It's very well possible that this is a horror game where you aren't supposed to win, so I'll assume that's the case (or else I'm just really, really bad). Other than that, nice 3D shooter, with good controls."},{"author_name":"valid4life","author_uid":"31730","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 9:47pm","epoch":1441057320,"text":"The controls were pretty clunky but with more work this could be cool!"},{"author_name":"jofra","author_uid":"56160","time":"Sep 4, 2015 @ 12:17am","epoch":1441325520,"text":"Nice mood :) a bit hard to understand at the begenning \rwell done!"},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"Sep 4, 2015 @ 12:29am","epoch":1441326240,"text":"Great atmosphere! Really liked the mood! The navigation were not so good though, it was easy to get lost in space (maybe it was intended), and controls were a bit "heavy", maybe it was mouse sensitivity. Also backward thrust seemed too weak. I tried to run from the creature while shooting and he would get me very easily.\rAnyway great job!"},{"author_name":"schnerble","author_uid":"11560","time":"Sep 13, 2015 @ 5:22pm","epoch":1442164620,"text":"I have to admit I didn't really get this game. I can see the beginnings of something entertaining there, but I pretty much just flew around towards the black shapes, where it looked like I could blow up some and not others - and some enemies came up on the radar occasionally, but I couldn't find them before they ran into my ship and I took damage. Personally I guess I would've benefited from some more indication of what the creatures were and how to find them, and what the black shapes were, etc. (Also I probably would've turned the mouse sensitivity up a bit if I could) I like space games though, and I can see there's an interesting idea behind it all."}],"images":["ld33\/32941-87dd45ca11638931a151edc9f25481a8.jpg","ld33\/32941-947d915ccfa621c40f78d72178bfe219.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/underscore.itch.io\/starlight","text":"itch.io"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/interwebsninja\/ld33","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9895","g_author":"32941","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"9929","g_title":"Starlight","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"632","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/32941-shot0-1440373399.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/32941-shot1-1440373399.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"An #LD33 Compo Game By Ray Grice\r\n\r\nDestroy the last of a species of cosmic horrors.
