Under rating threshold (show) Bug: if you get click outside the screen at the end conversation it pauses and you can continue because it locks you out.

Under rating threshold (show) Very nicely done. You have a genuine talent at this, and to consider that you did this all in 48 hours. There are full budget, major developer titles that have taken two years to make that I've played for less time than I've already put into this here. Good show, keep it up!

Under rating threshold (show) Kinda felt Claustrophobic at first, then i actually moved around enough to have the camera start moving to the edge of the actual arena and was like 'Wow, thats like... 4 times the space!' Then I got hooked on the gameplay... Then I payed attention to the story. And I got depressed by the ending. Then i got intrigued by the 'secret mode' medals and was like 'LIKE OH EM GEE, GAIS!' and so I sat there not moving or attacking... and died, then i didnt attack and moved around and BOOM NEW MODE. I was like 'OH EM GEE GAIS!' AND I FRAGGING LOVE YOUR GAME

Under rating threshold (show) Updated a few things based off your feedback. Thanks for helping find issues! Changes: Fixed shrapnel mode appearing unlocked when it isn't. Story+ and Story++ now drop more metal. The timer on story mode now stops as soon as the boss dies. Fixed achievement descriptions for secret mode achievements.

Under rating threshold (show) Is anyone else unabl to play shrapnel mode? ecaus ei beat the story and whenever i click shrapnel mode nothing appens

Developer response from Arkeus

It's a bug that I hope to fix soon. You'll need to beat Story+ mode to activate shrapnel mode (it just looks like its been unlocked after beating story mode).

Under rating threshold (show) "Don't fire, they may be peaceful." "They're not ramming us, they're trying to give us nuclear-powered hugs." "Those are peace guns, firing depleted uranium floral arrangements. You know what, just open fire, I'm pretty sure they're trying to kill us."

They're plutonium floral arrangements actually.

Under rating threshold (show) How does secret mode work? Your supposed to not kill anything, but I find it impossible to survive very long even with max upgrades.

Under rating threshold (show) Well made, not particularily inovative, but in today's storm of MMOs, etc., this is a refreshing return to what I remember flash games being about :)

Under rating threshold (show) Freaking 4 seconds after I kill boss. FIX THAT. I DID IT IN 2:31 BECAUSE OF THAT.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from Arkeus

If I make the timer stop sooner, I would also make it require 2:26 instead of 2:30. It's balanced to make it a challenge around that extra time before the clock stops.

Under rating threshold (show) "Alright, men. We are the last of our species and it seems our only hope now is to obtain the assistance of these aliens. What do we do? We attack them of course. Let's ask them not to attack back though otherwise we'll retaliate." Little wonder why Earth got destroyed...

Under rating threshold (show) It reminds me one episode of "The Outer Limits" series, where the Earth decided to launch nuclear missiles towards alien fleet, and then they decrypted message "we come in peace".

Under rating threshold (show) Extremely satisfying game. I really like how you can beat the story mode with almost no upgrades. Story+ should however drop more metal, so that players won't have to grind story mode over and over again when upgrading.

Under rating threshold (show) ==Powerups== Energy shield: yellow outside, green inside. Gives temporary invulnerability. Time distortion: all purple. Temporarily slows time for enemies and their bullets, normal time for you and your shots. Bullet nullification: Blue. Stops all enemy shots which vanish shortly after. !!WARNING!! SHOTS CAN STILL DEAL DAMAGE !!WARNING!! Shrapnel burst: Red band around the outside, yellow inside. A burst of many small shots dealing moderate damage...COMPLETELY USELESS during chaos mode btw, and easily mistaken for energy shield too =w= Please change the damage so it scales with time at least in chaos mode.

Under rating threshold (show) ==Enemy types== Swarmer: Blue--flies slowly toward you Red--flies toward you and fires at a slow rate Green--remains in place then "dashes" to your location before firing a burst Orange--has the fastest movement speed, actively chases your ship. Does not turn unless it ricochets off a wall. Always rebounds towards your ship. Fast enough to outrun missiles, effectively diverting them from hitting anything. Zoner: Purple--flies either vertically or horizontally while occasionally firing a spread. Fires more often when close to your ship. Yellow--flies around, then fires in a spiral when it stops Sniper--does not move, fires a dense two-shot spread from any range Other: Disc: flies slowly around the map

Under rating threshold (show) Overall decent could be a bit larger screen does feel cramped, difficulty jump from initial story to story+ is a bit steep given the size of the enemy fire compared to your own. 3/5
