If you're reading this, you're probably brave enough to play this game before it's done! Cool!

Please let me know what you think,what you like, what you hate... whatever.

Thanks and welcome to the team!

It works on Debian. Sweet!

Always good to hear this, as I'm not able to test this myself. Thanks!

Played a game, it worked pretty well! I'm awful at these style of games anyway, so I didn't last super long. Did get the high score though! :D

One thing I noticed was the backer names got to be 9 characters and the high score names are limited to 8? Weird.

While I played, since controlling your ship was so hard, I just mashed myself into a corner and shot as much as I could... it worked OK, but probably not as much for later levels.

Great feedback! I'm super worried about corner play being an optimal, but not-fun, strategy, so i'll be tuning against it.

The high score limit is definitely a bug.

Thanks!

one thing you could maybe do is making the wall bounce you further out, so it'd make it harder to aim and control your ship if you bumped a wall?

I'm hung-up on finding a punishment-free way of solving it, but, yeah.... maybe! :)

Or maybe bouncing off a wall disables your gun for a half second? Might be too harsh :/ It's cool though, I enjoyed the game :D

I'm quite the laid back backer, eh! But I did spend some time playing this today xD I'm kind of exhausted so I'll leave you with the link, might work as background noise ;) Also might be uhm, in an unexpected format... will keep to an actual monitor next time.
