Yes, just coppy over the contents of the saves and fallback folders from your itch install over to the new steam install and you should be good.

To clarify:  Half of the vfx are by me, but not originally made for the jam. The other part is from packs and had to be adapted to the artstyle. Everything else was made during the jam, but I wasn't sure whether all this counts as the "majority of assets".

Yes.

I don't do the music myself and I rely on soundpacks as the basis for the SFX, everything else is by me. So there is no larger team, no.

Yes.

Do you have some specific communities in mind?

This is a bug I'm still investigating. Likely this is connected to the game not fully preventing you from going into pause directly after an unlock triggered. You can recover your profile if you go into your fallback folder, copy the latest prof_save_crypt_fallback (the one that has been changed most recently before the loss) into the saves older. Rename it to prof_save_crypt and the game should accept it as your current profile.

Hi Antifect, thanks for taking the time to put this together, I'll take it into account if I make another patch. Some of this isn't possible due to the way the game was set up early on. The pause menu can't sufficiently communicate with the main game etc but I'll see what I can do regarding the bugs.

#96 (eciN) of 5810!

Thanks to everyone who voted, you are the best!

Redux version is on the  way, but it'll still take a few days.

Thanks for all your kind words! Post-jam version is making progress.

I found the art tickbox a bit limited. I made all the art myself, but lots of it was made for other projects way back. I still had to adjust everything to fit the palette and artstyle during the jam, that took a ton of time. So I ticked that yes, but if there where boxes for "all art by myself", "used preexisting assets" and "used own art made beforehand" I would have ticked all three. 

I tried camera angling with player a couple times on other things and I find that way harder to aim with, since you need to adjust not only to cam movement but also angle. On my main release I added a mouse aim option where your jet rotates towards the mouse, but that wouldn't really fit here either since you need to be able to free aim. But it's definitely not ideal as it is here. Giving additional indicators for where your ship is facing might be an option. I don't really want take away your engines since that would limit the level design a whole lot and would still lead to a lot of dead end scenarios unless new systems are added to compensate. I think being stranded because of a wrong move would be punishing in a real frustrating way. Ultimately the goal was to make you feel powerful when tethered and somewhat helpless but not totally screwed when not.

In relation to that, making the game play faster is is definitely something I want to address, mostly with more area denial enemies in later waves to force you even more into quick movement. There will also be a lock on system that lets you tether things more easy while on the move. But yeah, the game has to start slower to allow you to adjust. In a full game I would add difficulty options that allow you to start more intense runs from the get go once you feel like you got the hang of it.

I also absolutely agree on the tutorial, I put that there in the last 20 minutes and it could definitely be improved.

Post jam WIP stuff.

Thx, glad you got something out of it! Redux version is in the works, it will feature all that you asked for and more. Will take a week or two though.

Yo the visual style and colors are just *cheffkiss*!

Thanks, so little time for actually play testing, seems like I some minor adjustments would have gone a long way.

For that background style you need to get yourself a dust brush set/space nebula brush set/space cloud brush set from somewhere like deviant art (check that the pack is really free to use). Oil spill brushes are also great but I didn't use those here. Now you just paint these brushes down in Photoshop/Gimp and you should get some nice, premade, fairly transparent dust/nebula/oil clouds with a plausible texture/composition and since these are brush sets you'll get at least 20 of them. Thats good, you need those for variance.

Something like this:

I usually make them all white so I can easily recolor them in-engine. Which basically means I assign them colors from the palette I'm using. Then you plop them down in semi regular/semi random intervals in the background, randomizing their x,y scale, angle, sprite mirroring etc. If you are worried that you are using too many objects just use fewer, bigger ones. In RT I reposition them if the player moves to far away so they basically continue forever (I also randomize them, so if you where to return to a far off point it would likely have changed, major continuity error, don't tell anyone.) But you can do much  more with them. Like changing the background and their color on the fly, or have them move and parallax if you got a system for that. For an example with slightly more elaborate usage you can check out my last jam game: https://sleeper-games.itch.io/swirl-watch Peace.

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into that.
