Very nice game! It beated me 3 times before I managed to win ;) Looking forward to adding audio.
Are you meant to be able to shoot through the planet? This was a lot of fun, but could benefit from some sound!
I really wish this had sound. Would be a great bonus for the already satisfying visuals. Thus it is already pretty tasty to look at and I will definetly come back to see if I get to better upgrades next time :3
Thanks! Lack of sound is for added realism, as there is no medium for the sound to propagate in space :)
jk. I wanted to add some sounds but I ran out of time :( I'll try to get some in tomorrow
Woah, that is amazing entry. Very high difficulty (or I suck at that type of games haha) but it's awesome. I just wish I managed to unlock the mega-laser. I am really curious about how it looks like :D.
oh no, after last balancing session I thought it is now easy enough because I had to try very hard to lose :D
Cool game. I like idea and mechanics. I'm interesting how full build will look. :)
