Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Really neat concept, and the minigame is super clever.

  • Really fun. I like that there is a space monster outside the derelicts. I even saw it destroy one of the derelicts for me. The ai takeover mechanic was a nice touch, surprising how much gameplay is packed in here.

  • If the game runs too slow the hacking mini-game particle effects will begin to hang and it will stop updating your win/lose state, causing you to fail in games which seemed to be winning.  The space monster had a habit of clipping into stations and other physics silliness including destroying the reactors of other stations off-screen.  The transition from hacking back into combat is too jarring.  Fighting enemies on the other side of station doors is very awkward since you need to be in the station to see them.

Successful or Incomplete?

Great game. I just wish there was sound.

Thanks!  Me too!  Still working on the sound.

For some reason for me the "full screen" button is gone.  You really can't play it not full screen because then the mouse wheel scrolls the page instead of zooming in and out.


EDIT:  It's back.  Wonder what happened?

EDIT AGAIN:  OK I just made it only run in full screen so no "fullscreen button sometimes" bug

Also there seems to be a really intermittent bug where if you destroy 2 of the junkers, you win.  It's supposed to be 4.  Sometimes rarely, a space monster *can* destroy a junker by itself.  This doesn't happen often so I left that in.  


Ugh that bug is vexing... Lots of times when you destroy one it blows up other ones too for no apparent reason.


OK I think I got it..  It doesn't seem to do that now.
