There is a blueprint pre-baked into every strike drone when placed down, for some reason.

I haven't touched the item defaults at all since downloading the world.
Consider removing the item defaults(which may have been left over) in the next update to the world.

(unsure if that's how that works; I might be way in over my head, though fellow newcomers to world creation shouldn't have to deal with this in the first place)

NOTICE: This wasn't a bug, it was me being a dingus. Please clear your item defaults before doing the Canvas Trial.

This bug report applies for the Canvas Trial custom world, on version Gamma 1.4.0 of Beyond our Worlds.

I tried to place Strike Drones(as instructed by the custom world), and instead I got some really odd cores.

To recreate, place down Strike Drones and set their faction to Crimson Infected, then test the world.

(I genuinely have no goshdanged clue how or why this happened, and not even the console had anything to say about it.)

this is probably peak but can you please update desktop cat cursor
it cutting off below the taskbar on full screen apps is really annoying and we'd still like to hide the little mouse thing

Honestly really cool!

The bug can easily be replicated by equipping three or more types of abilities/spawns/weapons/passives.


that's literally it, it's just lower quality ability icons compared to the first three icons

EDIT: Bug has been fixed with the latest hotfix that also fixed the canvas editor bug.

Canvas editor works and scales as intended now.

The following is a full-screen screenshot of the Canvas Editor at standard 1080p resolution on the latest version at the time of reporting. (1.4.0)

The import/export buttons are nowhere to be found. In addition, the menu appears to be improperly scaled for 1080p screens, as the "New" button to the left of the canvas type is not visible.

Listed as major because you cannot import/export canvases

When more than three types of weapons, skills, spawns or passives are present, the icons past the third slot turn blurry.

Examples below are shown with the Skills menu, and shows the differences between high quality icons and low quality icons.

Example images are taken from the Classic custom world on the latest version of SCCBoW.

Repeat challenge attempts give parts and credits. I'm unsure if this is intentional, so I'm putting it here.

There was an issue I reported on Classic 1.2 that needs expanding.

Turns out vendors won't take your credits in any of the worlds that currently exist (to my knowledge). (tried with both Skirmish and Classic)

This seems to be a game-wide issue.

(Gamma 1.3.1, delisted at the time of writing)

Credits are not taken away when purchasing from vendors.

Tested via buying from the Capitol vendors.

peak gameplay, with a couple bugs here and there

If you're a fan of the old Decision flash games, this game is for you. Even if you aren't, this game is really darn good for how short it is, and is well worth the $4.

Honestly a pretty awesome title to check out. I dig the unique artstyle, and the battle music was really good when the protagonists had the upper hand in the story. Story's pretty cool and funny as well.
Heck, get the OST of this game too, it's brilliant.

Exactly what it says on the tin. If you wanted to replay the original chapters in their old glory, this is probably the best way to do it besides running the original games via Flashpoint or your other preferred method for playing old flash games.

Consider adding VSync. Despite being a 2D game, it is making my GPU temperature(normally at 35C at ~20C room temp) skyrocket on the title screen. Same issue as with Voyager-19.

Moving forward, please, add VSync, either as an option or otherwise, by default to all of your future(heck, even current) games. Your games are really cool, and I don't mean any offense by this.

Game's good. Please update, kthnx. itch.io version is almost 10 years old lol. If this leads to the game getting updated, I'm buying VVVVVV when I can.

Following image is from the official downloads.

The Android version is dated 2022.

It's an idle game, but it's nothing immensely grinding, and it's more so story focused. Game was well worth it.

Nell, the goober, made my heart go kaboom from sweetness and wholesomeness.

Buy this game. You're better off with this game than some $5 microtransaction.

Good news, your fix worked! My GPU isn't screaming in agony anymore.

In the future, please consider adding vsync(or a frame limiter) by default to your 3D titles.

Thank you so much!!! :D

how in the actual hell did this game make my GTX 1650's temperature rise to 71C(base is usually 30-35C) despite having very simplistic graphics

please, please please optimize the game!
even Buckshot Roulette runs with better temps than this!(max 50C)

game and concept's really cool and I bought it on launch, though I only played it for ~2 minutes(3 planets into the first mission) before I got worried, as no other indie game(or game I own, for that matter) has made my gpu heat up this much and I didn't wanna risk severe overheating

game ran just fine at 60fps otherwise

if you update and optimise the game I'll happily change the review to something actually related to the game instead of me complaining about temperature issues

sorry :(

yes

mouse, not cursor. the actual lil' mouse thing at the bottom of the screen is what I meant, friend. the cursor is actually essential as otherwise you really wouldn't know what you're pointing at

Yes, yes, yes. Please add this. Please let us change where the paw comes from or the location of the mouse(settings menu). Just sayin'.

main monitor exclusive, as listed on the page

a few small issues that are easily overlooked:
- arm cuts off where the taskbar should be, in full-screen apps
- can't hide the mouse (the actual one, to access the settings, though this is understandable)

otherwise a fantastic app great software that I couldn't wait for the release of
give this guy your 3 dollars

This game costs as much as a big bag of potato chips, and lasts a bit longer. Plus, unlike a bag of chips, you can play this again and again.

Even if you don't like it, you only spent $1.20. No big deal.

It is incredibly difficult to absorb gas from smaller vortexes(vorteces?) (the big ones in the Deadzones are fine, this is about the smaller ones outside of them) as a larger core, as the vortex kills you instantly if you reach its center, which is easy to do as a large ship.


Vortexes(?) smaller than your current Core should perhaps deal damage over time instead. This may be difficult to implement. If it has to be a huge amount of it, so be it, though if people are looking at the map as they're moving, dying to a random small vortex they couldn't see, dying instantly and losing 100 gas is a bit annoying, if not a bit of a pain.

The game feels better with the update! (image above relates to slight issue below)

High level enemies actually take quite a bit of firepower to take down now, which is good. The UI update is also a plus! While I didn't really have a problem with it before, it is much sleeker now.

My only issue now is that nowhere in the game does it mention what the two(technically three) unmarked UI parts are, which represent the durability of your weapon(orange square around weapon), durability(not health,that's the blue ring around the HP bar for people other than the developer reading) of your equipped shields(bottom orange, right), and durability of your repair kit(?)(top left, green).
I assume these parts are left for the player to figure out on their own.

I can't wait to see more of your work, whether it be on this game or elsewhere! Great job with the update!

Honestly, that really does sound nice. Can't wait! :D

Onya, friend! Best add this link to the FAQ section the next time you edit the page/update the game so that people don't gotta scroll down to this comment to find the OST! :D

TL;DR: Buy this. It costs as much as a bag of chips, and you won't regret it.

This may be the first comment in English on this page, and I'd like to leave a proper review(as I've reached level 15 in the game).

The lore is interesting, though one of the logs you can find in the game is addressed as being written by someone of the opposite faction(UI says Vanguard, log says Empyrean).
That visual bug aside, the game is quite fun to play, and it feels so good when you finally get an engine that isn't a mining engine(Please save up for an engine first, they don't decay like everything else!). Scrolling to control ship speed is odd, but it makes sense.
The boosting mechanic doesn't feel like it makes you a whole lot faster, and it uses a boatload of fuel.

Enough complaining for a bit, time for some actual good stuff! It's fun to actually explore the place(it is randomly generated, and you may sometimes see some goofy nonsense like two suns spawning very close to a planet(this actually happened.), or a vendor spawning where you just were about a minute ago), and you getting stronger actually feels like it! Don't get dissuaded by higher enemy levels, they don't make much of a difference. Just circle the enemy as best you can and whoop 'em. Only disappointing thing is that the giant flagships are so huge, yet they don't drop a lot.

The game does begin to get boring after about four hours or so, since there's nothing you're really working towards--besides the obvious: become incredibly powerful...and I just have. A laser repeater and plasma repeater is all you need. Couple that with a few weapon upgrades and every single enemy will go down in a few seconds, with a bit of give or take.

For $1, it's definetly worth the buy, though I'd appreciate even a slight amount of story-related quest work and especially something to encounter the dark, pitch-black force that even the Empyreans seem to be struggling with.

Feels like a mix of Mega Man(mainly in part due to the awesome soundtrack) and 2D ULTRAKILL(perhaps a terrible analogy). Every level past 1 and 2 on my first few tries have shown my skill issue, but even then it's a really fun game.

Speaking of which, any plans to make the soundtrack available? Character select theme gets me pumped up.

Hey Airdorf, just a hunch, but I think you gave me the good christian boy reward by mistake despite the fact I haven't actually done it
thanks :D

LAST EDIT: 4/23/24, RELEASE 0.0.0

I just wanted to leave my review here after finishing my latest playthrough.

Great game, I love what you're doing with my beloved childhood Flash game, and the added challenge really makes people think what strategy they can use for their next objective. The story, the friends along the way, the extra customization!

Maybe it's just my skill issue, but the latter parts of Chapter 3 (involving some Defected-filled Battlezones) are very unreasonable to say the least! You're gonna need a well balanced ship that can attack both air and ground(especially ground, Lasers won't work) from a good distance, or else the Ground base's Ion weapons will shred you to bits and turn the battle into an impasse.

The other Battlezone's even worse, with Cores too big to defend against!

There's also several optional areas from the last Beta version missing(One of which was teased in dialogue, and shown later in Episode 3!!!), which I found really cool, and I'm sad they got removed.

If you're utterly bored, having trouble choosing your next indie game to play as a content creator, or you just clicked on this out of morbid curiosity, I welcome you (back) to ShellCore Command.

Help button text is really good advice for a horror game but also fits the submachine games well due to how desolate they are. Played the flash games recently and decided to buy the entire collection as it was on sale, to support the dev.

Happy to help! :)

Developer, I'd like to correct you on something.
Re-entering the room the gorilla boss fight takes place after beating it will respawn the required item. I've no idea why or how this works, but it did for me.

If this doesn't work, feel free to call me a liar. It worked for me, and I hope it works for you too, other players.

Have fun!

Update: I have just now finished the game, and man, am I excited for the possible sequel teased in the ending.
