Description
Join the captain in his glorious quest to find the Amber Helix.
How to Play
Use the mouse to move and the left mouse button to fire. When your shield is damaged it only regenerates if you don't fire. When you die you lose some or all of the experience you gained on that level and the percentage lost depends of difficulty chosen and upgrades bought.
Developer Updates
Version 1.25:
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused stage and story completion to not save as it should.
- Fixed a bug that caused the metamorphosis dialogues to appear all three at once in New Game Plus if you bought an upgrade.

Gods, yes, there's an undo option for drone deletion? Where's the sixth star, where's the tip jar? I already know this will be a find to rival Red Rogue, and WHY is the score so low?! Really hope to see more from this team...
The tip jar feature has been removed from the site, I read on the forums. And I do think I will start working on a sequel once I've updated this game some more. =)

I felt the beginning to be a little slow(possibly due to grinding), as the story really picked up past the first section. Haven't quite reached NG+, but so far so good. If there are caps to the stats, I would like to know(maybe have the cap percentage to the side). My >200% INT still seemed to be helping (tested on target practice).
Favorited and 5/5. Also, amazing response time from the dev; you don't see that enough on this site.
Stats are only capped on drones, and when you reach the cap you will know since it will stop increasing when you upgrade the drone. The normal stat caps on drones are as follows: Projectile +0.25 / Speed +8 / Evasion +5% / Regen +100% / Salvaging +100%. And the gold stat caps are: Projectile +1 / Speed +16 / Evasion +7.5% / Regen +200% / Salvaging +200%. All other stats can be infinitely raised. =)

And on the topic of hp-scaling, is there any way to know which drones are best for, say, attack, without upgrading them 50 times so I can directly compare them with my current stuffs?
All drones are of three different types that get more of certain stats. Type 0 get mostly speed/damage/projectile, type 1 get mostly armour/shield/regen and type 2 get mostly int/salvaging. Drones of type 0 are: cell, wasp, turret, hunter, lance, bomber, colony, fighter. Drones of type 1 are: freighter, sapper, carrier, observer. Drones of type 2 are: tower, star, fortress, guardian. And there is really no way for the player to know any of this without experimenting as you say. But what I could do is display stats that the drones prefer in a different color. It should be easy to do and will probably be in the next version.

Rating is unfairly low. Im shocked. Beautiful music. Good game. 5/5.
Thank you. I am happy that you like it. I think the rating more reflects how the game was when it was released than how it is now. Hopefully it will get higher as more people play the game. =)

This game appears to be inconsistently loading from chat.kongregate.com or assets.kongregate.com; I copied my main data from assets replacing Data.sol in chat.kongregate.com. Please advise >_>
I also seem to have a save in chat.kongregate as well as assets.kongregate, but in my own testing the game only read from assets.kongregate and only wrote there as well. In what folder the save is placed is controlled by this site, not the game, so I don't know why this happens. Unless there is something I don't know about how this kind of thing is handled. EDIT: I've now noticed this happening myself, but I still don't know why. There is a thread about it in the forum and I have posted there.
