Great reimagining of a classic!
When playing I always run out of weapon power (overheating) but thrust power was never an issue - or in other words one felt a bit too punishing while the other didn't play any gameplay role
Thanks for the feedback. I will add that to my list of potential game balance changes.
I love all the tiny details like how the thruster particles bounce off the asteroids. Nicely done
Thanks!
I think the little things like that do a lot to make it feel like a complete/polished game.
I love how smooth this game feels. It has all of the old school feel with a nice modern design.
The moderate increase in difficulty as the waves come is very well thought out. You achieve a certain level of comfort and control before enemies get aggressive.
This is a very well polished game. Can't wait to play again!
Glad to hear it. :) The wave system pretty much fell into place on the first try.
