great game.
few suggestions:
1. don't reset us when we die. give us something so that our progress wasn't for nothing
2. zoom out as our ship becomes bigger
3. let us sell components. if you just fill out your starting slots you're screwed.
4. get rid of the extenders that just eat up one slot and give you one slot. they are completely pointless.
5. add the tag: shmupgrade. that describes this genre perfectly and is a term i invented.
edit: thanks for responding. love this game
Thanks for the suggestions!
1. Meta progression would be really cool for a game like this. Within the constraints of only having 4 hours per person to work on this, we had to cut some corners, but for a full release, that would be the way to go for sure!
2. This is actually the case already. The camera zooms out when you add size modules.
3. This is a much requested feature and I think you're right. That, with some tradeoff, would make the game better.
4. I agree that they feel a bit useless in most cases right now. I think we should have added a slot on the corners / in the middle of the pipes.
5. I have added the tag! :D
eh. very first road, the second lane with the red cars is unpassable. how dumb.
do you really think I'd make it unpassable? 😂 try getting between the car's wheels
fun, good art and sound. music is meh.
gameplay loop is bland.
overall, if you added upgrades and cleaned up the story a bit it could be awesome
Thanks for the feedback, I plan on continuing to fix and add things.
the circlejerk side of NG is so cringey. but i recognize it needs to persist so that the website doesn't die so.. i guess proceed.
This is literally a joke game for someones birthday, they basically brought down the concept of NFTs to what it really is. A huge joke.
stay mad forever
ok👍
lets see if this is true or rubbish

"circlejerk"
im sorry you don't have friends you enjoy doing things with/making things for.
I worked hard on that image of a person simping over Levi, don't piss all over my lovely creation
sharp nova
ratio
"My intellect - the story of sharpova"
A tragic tale of a person who wound up in a cringe compilation by making such a rancid take on a humble birthday game, all in an attempt to compensate for their lack of intelligence. Truly a sad story and one that will be read for generations to warn children about the dangers of making ill-informed takes online.
not a fan of the controls. either adopt a z/x control scheme or don't. don't have part of your controls (firing) be tied to a z/x design and another intimately related part (jumping) be completely different (space bar)
i don't even get what you were thinking with that.
re author: waifu jokes. check. mcdonald's physique. check.
Sorry I was busy eating a Mcdonald's meal. Yeah yeah z/x is more common and better, and sure I might add it. Now if you will excuse me I will go and do the nae nae to senpai fnf week 6
just because you developed this on a 640x480 resolution monitor doesn't mean you need to make it everyone else's problem.
i agree the ratio _is_ retarded. also fuck off and die.
It has been described to me as twinkie-esque, but if I had to say, I think of it more as.. twinkie-adjacent.
You might not have noticed, but right under the controls there is a short note saying:
"MAYDAY MAYDAY, ENGINE'S BUSTED, WE CAN'T IMPLEMENT DYNAMIC GAME RESOLUTION!
-- DROP IT BEFORE YOU SINK US ALL WITH IT!
BUT CAP'N! HOW WILL OUR PLAYERS INCREASE THE GAME SIZE IF IT IS TOO SMALL FOR THEM?!
-- THEY CAN PRESS TWO BUTTONS TO ZOOM IN ON THE WEBSITE THEMSELVES PRIVATE, THEY AREN'T HALF AS STUPID AS YOU, NOW DO IT AND STEER US FOR THAT 1.5 ALPHA AT FULL SPEED!
AYE AYE CAP'N!"*
*:Dramatic reenactment.
I couldn't implement it as it broke the game so just zoom in, you silly thing.
without any way to see where your portal is going to appear before you release the mouse, this is a very frustrating game and an extremely bad implementation of your core idea.
re author/artist who responded: git gud at game dev. because you aren't. and i didn't say it was too hard. i said it was badly designed and frustrating. difficulty is something else entirely. it's something a good game dev (which you aren't) would understand.
lmao. rekt.
You blocked this from working externally... so now it won't be preserved by NG's external player?
That is absolute greed and disgustingness.
re: author:
The error literally says:
"UNAUTHORIZED GAME! tHIS SITE BLOCKED OUTGOING LINKS IN THIS GAME... ETC. and then tells you to visit gamedistribution.com"
So yes. You blocked this from working externally. And you did so by allowing this site locking to be part of your game's engine.
Even if that wasn't your explicit intent, you still did it.
Hello, dev here. This is ridiculous and false. I wrote an answer to this absurd claim, you can read it in the description now.
edit: You didn't even read or understand what I wrote, did you? Do you send this kind of messages to website owners when google shows you a message when you have no connection, too?
Also here is Tom Fulp's message about this, owner of Newgrounds, confirming what I wrote above:

i think this would benefit from the 'idle' or 'incremental' tags
great effort. there are some issues (it's very hard to drag wizards into the crystal. you click and drag and they go with the cursor for a tiny bit and then drop off your cursor) there's no mute button.
but overall a great effort and fun
Thank you :) I thought the "incremental" tag could be misleading for the fans of that genre, since those games usually go on for a looong time and this one is so short.
