Looks and sounds really nice! I like the designs of the different modules and the music loop has a catchy melody to it.
I found it rather hard to control since it was always so floaty and the rotation of my construction shifted dramatically all the time so aiming is a real pain. I also felt that it's hard to control what to build where since you're under all this time pressure constantly. I think it would be nice if it had some kind of separate build mode without time pressure in which you can attach modules you collected with higher precision and a better plan.
Overall it reminds me of a game I once worked on where this same issue came up that the building was also running in real time and didn't give players enough time to construct things the way they want to. Pausing time during building solved that for the game.
Fantastic concept and great art!! Sometimes the parallax foreground blocks the view and i can't find enemies/upgrades tho :<
Had fun playing! Unfortunately, after I lost my last shooting upgrade, I had to wait a really long time for another one, and it never seemed to show up. It would be nice to have some kind of safeguard so you don't end up waiting around without one. The sound and art were great too!
There is contact damage with all modules. I’ve even seen players make use of melee strategies!
I like the concept, reminds me a lot of the first stage of Spore which is good! I would have preferred to rotate with the mouse, either way, good job! I played this on stream here - https://www.twitch.tv/nebsterlive
Thanks for playing! Spore was definitely an inspiration for me. If you prefer to use the other hand to rotate, you can also use the "[" and "]" keys :)
Mouse is a good suggestion, though
Pretty interesting game. Enjoyed the countdown mechanic incorporation with the theme. Fits well.! Also Kudos for making a cool looking game!!
Basically you attach different modules to your body and their life keeps counting down. Great implementation of the theme. I love the art style as well.
This was such a fun idea. I love the sound and art! The frantic nature of trying to rotate my shooter guys to the right direction was really entertaining. Great job!
That was pretty cool! I've seen similar concepts of building spaceships with many parts before but this is certainly a unique way of doing that, great idea!
I wish I could read the tutorial again, maybe put more info in your game page description somewhere?
