the only thing I didn't like, it was hard to follow the storyline, because I was focused on destroying the enemy, not reading. Some type of voice or maybe the text more centered so that it's easier to read while not taking your eyes of the enemy.

"But the adventures of the two artificial intelligence and a powerful weapon are a story for another time." -I think the time has come. Sequel please! 5/5

why no orbital decay 2? maybe some kind of sand box mode for added gaming fun, I like this game and would like more like it

To win in hard mode, it's essential to upgrade your main gun and repair drone. Little gun are useless in beginning, and later i recommand to get a lot of fighter, they divert main fire from your ship.

The parts of the story I read looked interesting, but I couldn't read most of it due to the battles. Try separating the game parts.

This game would be so much easier and better if you could tell individual turrets what you want them to prioritize. I'm so tired of my forward flak cannons turning backwards to shoot at one tiny ship at the edge of their rear range, instead of annihiliating the incoming meteors like they were designed to.
Additionally, as others have said, it would be nice if we could pause to read text, or if it were otherwise more accessible.

I felt like half the battle was off the screen. why is there a limit to the playing area where the ships fly 'out of bounds'.

Here's the strategy for hard mode: Upgrade Ultragun rate and damage(cheapest first) until level 3, putting a few points into repair drones when neccessary. On level 3, only upgrade repair drones' repair power and quantity. On 4, finish upgrading the repair drones and the main gun. After that, get your combat drone bays up to max drones as quickly as possible, then upgrade their other stats cheapest first. The earlier levels are much harder than the later ones - the final boss itself is a cakewalk.

There needs to be a pause between levels or at least when the story is being told so that we can read it without having to keep an eye for enemies; or at least save all the storyline text in a log which we can see by pressing 'L' or something. Rated 4/5. Waiting for the sequel.

PERFECT GUIDE. First, upgrade your main gun to {Damage(4), Firerate(3), Speed(3), HP(0)}, and then your drones to {Drones(5), Dronerepair(2), Dronerepairrate(0)}. If your health falls below 50%, start upgrading the drones before the gun. After all this is bought, buy one more fighter from your fighter bay, then max your gun all the way. After gun is maxed, this should be about the start of ch5, buy the other three fighter bays and one extra fighter at each bay(so that you have a total of 8 fighters). After this, max your drones all the way, then start buying lasers. Buy one laser, then max it before moving on. This is the best way to go, just DON'T FORGET TO LEAD THE TARGET, also there is a little luck involved so don't lose faith.
PLEASE KEEP THIS POST ALIVE

got overwhelmed way too easily, there should be some downtime before each wave instead of getting so far and then getting immediately destroyed by weird blue ships that have double shots.

At the end of chapter 3, when the game tries to screw you over with 1 carrier + 2 other big ships, kill the two smaller ones first before going after the carrier.

Max Ultragun damage asap is the key to beat hard mode , gun speed is useless. +1 max fighter and 1level fighter hp for Fighter Bay. Laser Turret has much better dps,3 times cost-efficiency than Rocket Turret.Flank Turret is very good against fighter and really useful to absorb damage.Upgrade the repair drone anytime when your HP is below 2/3.

General Tips[more tips on ship maintenance and upgrading]: Build up your repair drones before adding turrets. Drones will automatically repair your turrets after finishing repairs on your hull. A turret you cannot maintain is a destroyed turret; a waste of time and resources. When placing turrets, start in the center 3 spaces on your ship. These are the least susceptible to enemy fire and require the least supervision. Check and repair manually as needed. Never place turrets on the forward section of your hull. The front of your ship is constantly being bombarded with incoming mines, asteroids, and enemy fire, and turrets placed here never last long. Keeping your turrets grouped together will reduce the unproductive travelling time of your repair drones.

I just encountered a game shattering bug.
On about chapter 8 of Hard mode, I lost and tried to restart from the checkpoint. However, every time I clicked restart the screen would just flash and go nowhere. I restarted my browser and the game and chose "Continue (Hard)." When I did that, the screen simply floated forward as if I'd started a new game but there was no ship on the screen. Clicking the "Upgrades" button showed a screen with the ship but no upgrade icons or options. In otherwords, a totally crashed save.
I have a feeling I wasn't far from the end but I'm a bit hesitant to try again...hopefully this isn't a commonly occurring bug.

Hard to read font + text scroll that player can't control. It's as if devs didn't want us to read their story. But with all seriousness: please add the function for players to "turn the page". Everyone reads at their own pace. Some of them are not native speakers, some have RL interruptions, some have trouble reading fast.

Unfourtanetly the develepor has said he doesnt plan on making a sequel, but there might be another addon, with more gun types, upgrades, evemy types and an editor :D fingers crosses everyone!

the beginning is by far the hardest part of the game. once you upgrade your gun to max and have 4 fighter bays it becomes very very easy.

Along with the illegible font itself, the suddenly appearing dialogue in the middle of a battle makes it really hard to follow along the story line. D:

the checkpoint system needs some serious reworking. a new chapter will start will enemies from the previous chapter are still on screen. i kill the enemies and receive the respective ru, but if i die in the new chapter and respawn when the chapter started, the enemies that were from the previous chapter don't respawn with me and therefore i lose any possibility of getting that ru back. essentially the game sometimes makes it unable for me to get ru, which is a huge setback on the hard difficulty

Fun to play, but the ending was rather disappointing and abrupt. It's a simple situation of show, don't tell. There's nothing more disappointing than to work towards something that seems to have SO much potential and wind up with just a block of text.

A hard game that doesnt force you through a tutorial or babysit you to the point where you feel like your observing rather than playing and doesnt want to milk you for cash? Wish there were more like it.

This is a fantastic game, and I would love to see a sequel with a few tweaks. Thanks for the fun mechanics and engaging story.

Despite being dreadfully boring, I beat it on hard mode. Didn't get the badge, did it two more times, still nothing... Sigh. You know, for being better, evolved beings, they totally forgot about repair drones...

'We conquered the stars and used force whenever peace wasn't possible. Now that a whole bunch of sentient groups from other planets are getting around to driving us back we have to save the day by using an artefact called the World Destroyer.' Something tells me humans aren't the heroes in this story...

How to get hard badge: Don't bother with turrets. You need only hangars, main gun and repair bots. First buy all hangars with +1 fighter upgrade and +1 damage upgrade, then max out main gun damage and fire rate. Spend some points during this in repair bots to keep full health. Then max out fighers amount and damage (fighter fire rate is useless), then max out repair bots. With this hard badge is easy trip. + to keep alive.
