Jikes, this was a very complex game for such a short jam. Well done implementing everything and nice to see how your crew evolves through the missions.
Great job! Good old shooting mechanics, but I was always confused about what I need to choose to shoot better. It was hard to understand what each position doing.
Pilot: movement
Gunner: straight bullets
Loader: Fire Rate
You can also see the details of the game.
Thanks for playing, I'll probably make some visual reminders, to make it easier (If I ever decide to continue the game)
I really like the growing old together mechanic, but it could use a bit more gradual explanation in game, there's a lot of information that pops up on the screen from the level select to choosing roles and ages gets a bit overwhelming. This is a really cool game. Great work! Keep it up!
thanks for playing! Did you read the details for rules? I am not asking to blame you, just to figure out if it was helpful or not as some more people said, they found it difficult. Thanks for the feedback and for the kind words!
I skimmed the rules but mostly tried to figure out through playing the game. Maybe some kind of visual icon indicators, arrows up or down to tell if someone is getting at the job or getting worst would help.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, yeah, it is indeed very hard to figure out through playing, I would make a tutorial but I didn't have enough time.
hard to control
did you read the details of the game??
The control of the ship is being set by the age of your pilot. I am afraid, you didn't experience what this game was made for. I strongly suggest you to try and play it again, and read the rules. Probably, as most people playing the game for first time, you put the 2 year old Dave in control of the ship, I think you see why the control had to be hard.
Interesting concept. Not 100% sure at what "age" do things become worst or better, that would help make the decision of whom to pick and when to retreat but overall unique.
in the stories in-between the missions,, and in the details, I wrote that the skills get higher till the age of 40, and then, they start forgetting as they grow old.
Probably, I have to make a short tutorial, as it seems, that the description didn't provide enough information.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!
Mechanic of skill level of crew is really cool idea.
Also i like that little stories after level completion, nice little detail.
I am glad you liked those stories! thanks for playing!
I think a more action like music would be a better fit for this game, other than that this is a really nice concept. Also i really like the idea of letting a 2 year old steer a possibly complex spacecraft. Very cool game!
I am really happy that the only issue was the music :) Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!
Interesting concept. It definitely stands out as a unique take on the theme. Well done.
I really like the age mechanic.
Somehow this game while being in such an old and classic genre feels like one of the the most creative concepts of the jam. Very coherent and well-designed UI.
Cool 👏
thanks for your feedback!, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool and original idea!
It takes a second till you get it :)
Maybe a bit more feedback for when the timer gets reset but else really cool
thank for playing my game, and for the feedback!
Ahh this is really cool and honestly I love that it took me a sec to figure out the aging thing, it was realisation but in a good way! I can't believe how many levels you got in, that is really impressive! Nice work!
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback!
Creative take on the theme. I originally was going to complain about the controls until I fully realized how the system worked. It felt great when I got everyone in their prime to go on a difficult mission and the ship was super powerful.
Thanks for the feedback!, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting concept and implementation of the Theme. Thanks a lot for making it. It took a while until understood that I not only need to evade but also prevent anything from reaching the left side.
Thanks for the feedback!
2 year old captain of the Starship Purple Echo becomes youngest Captain in Federation history to embark into the unknown.
Loved the concept of choosing who performs what task and having that affect the ship handling! Very cool idea!
I am glad you liked it! "captain of the Starship Purple Echo", "Federation" I will definitely use those names if I ever think about updating the game. Thankd for the feedback!
haha, I've just been watching too much Star Trek lately
Such a good idea O:
You took the "growth" thing into the aging concept and it made it deep.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love the idea! It was really cool to actually feel the controls get easier as my crew became more skilled! Very well done! :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Maaan, this is such simple but good idea, well executed! The music wasn't fitting the rest of the game much though
yeah, I know, I asked a friend to make the music too late to give him an idea of what would fit the game. Thanks for your feedback!
Nice Game but It took a litle time to understand the concep of the game.
thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Great idea.
thanks for playing!
