I've justed added a pause button in flight (P) and also an escape button (E) which has a 50% base chance (less in higher level than you areas) of escaping a random (non-mission) fight. Note if the escape fails you lose energy. Hope new stuff works okay and people are doing the level 3 quests to get the double speed boost and the safe-passage upgrade?
I really liked it. The search lights are a nice effect, are they purely for effect or do they do something? I thought maybe if I got caught in them stuff would come at me quicker or something like that? One bit of feedback from me, I found the upgrade screen a bit daunting, maybe a big arrow saying "this is the best thing to do with your cash" would be good for a couple of levels?
Hm, I've updated to 0.0.7.0 but some files don't seem to have updated so neither of the new missions are working for me. If anyone gets the new missions to work let me know as I don't know if I've not updated it properly...
I've updated to 0.0.7.0 which introduces two new mission chains both of which give you really nice upgrades which will hopefully help you out. Also fixed a couple of glitches with fighting and made random fighting happen a little bit less. If you don't like random fighting I really suggest you get to level 3 then do the mission chain at Maru...
Thanks for all the constructive comments. I'm hoping to be updating it shortly. My current list of stuff is:
* better fights (the things going off the screen for ages will be fixed)
* more varied story missions
* more varied encounters (one big ship boss battles, etc)
* sound
* missiles and other upgrades
* faster ships (bought like an upgrade but basically it'll double your planet-planet time.
All this should be updated in the next couple of days, I hope you'll pop back and have a look.
Uploaded 0.0.7.0 which has first attempt at upgrades. Each upgrade is quite expensive so if someone with lots of cash and level 3 wants to give it a go that'd be great...
Updated it to 0.0.6.2 which adds "fill" and "empty" buttons on trade as requested and means you cannot abandon story missions to get round a problem someone found earlier.
stronglink - i'll add upgrades as soon as I can, especially since you seem to have made loads of credits... you'll probably be able to afford X2 or X3 lasers and a X2 shield. Also thanks to poopoo for the "buy max" / "sell all" suggestion. will do that too.
adal8or - yes i need to add upgrades very soon. It's going to be fairly simple, you upgrade shields / weapons and cargo space. going to be expensive though so get saving! Have started making a list of stuff to do tomorrow based on feedback from you all so thanks again.
Pause function, ah yes. sorry forgot that. will add it. and find some royalty free sound and music to add in. Thanks for all the really useful feedback.
This is my first flash game, so please be nice! Sorry there is no sound, I need to find someone to do me some explosions and stuff. Will add more story missions and stuff hopefully soon if anyone likes it. -GG99
