Has anybody tried it? Let us know what you think.

 

I hate to bump, but has anybody tried it? We would really appreciate more feedback to continue improving the game. Please help us out.

 

Webplayer would be nice.. (easy to test quickly without downloads..)

 

Agreed, we will setup one soon.

In any case, I never understood the reluctance of people to download and play Unity builds. In the end a webplayer will also need to download the game data to the player computer (it is true that this is transparent to the user).

 

Build for Linux added to the main post.

 

Ok... so I thought I'd "try" out the game for a minute or two and dang! i spent 30 minutes on it! its really addictive indeed!
one thing tho... after playing for a while, I started to notice that the energy level goes down rather quickly and it gets really difficult to recharge the other dimension.

As for the graphics and all, it's awesome!.. there was a bug when I first lunched the game, where everything was "discolored", but I think that happened due to my computer (macbook pro). It didn't happen when I launched it the second time, just thought you should know.

my verdict: ADDICTIVE!

 

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it! Unfortunately we only use Windows so I can't test for that bug on Mac. Let me know if you see it reapear.

The energy levels are done "hard" by design, the idea is that you should manage your energy wisely (stop shooting if you are unsure you are going to get a kill). Also killing bigger/harder enemies will give you much more energy (try that).

 

New updated HUD concept



Less clutter, relevant information more visible and easy to see without losing focus of the game. The idea with this HUD is that it will "jump" dimension with the player ship.

What do you think?
