Working on: Maybe putting my test games in gamejolt, polishing them a bit, but I still don't know when.

Any news on Sonic? He is still participating, right? :D

CrackedP0t, here's some thoughts about your game.. I mean really, these are the things I was thinking when I played it xD

during playing, lcl's brains wrote:...how does the store work..?
...the rotation is too fast for me, I can't control it as precisely as I'd like to...
...oh, now I understand the store...
...I don't like that music always starting over..
...wow, great online highscore table!
..insanely addictive...
..for a game this simple..
...I suck...
...but, NightOfHorror's score.. how he did that..?
...I suck...
..really, insanely addictive...
..for a game this simple..
...I suck...
..simple, but addictive..


:lol: :lol: so, that was literally what I thought about it. XD
And yeah, my brains tend to get stuck on repeating same thoughts over and over again..

To better explain my opinion about this game, I'd like to say some things.

Pros:
- Addictive. Very addictive. Insanely addictive, as my brains said. xD
- The game idea is nice and original, I've never played anything like that before.
- I love the way you have implemented the store to the game. What I mean is that this game actually contains some tactical elements to it, a lot depends on what you buy and when you buy it.
- The online highscore table, gotta love that one!

Cons:
- At first, it was a little confusing, the market especially took me a while to figure out how to use it and what I'm buying.
- The rotation speed was a little too high for me at least. Almost always I rotated a little more than I wanted, because the station was spinning with a speed too fast for me to control.
- Personally, I don't like it when games restart when you click "Try again". It's just simply unprofessional. (I have to admit, my first completed game also does that... XD) In this case the annoyance comes from the excellent soundtrack cutting and starting from the beginning again, I'd prefer listening to it without it restarting.

Are you going to continue working on this game?
I see a lot potential in this one, as it already is a great game. :D

Thanks lcl!
I've made it so that the "Again!" button doesn't restart the game and reuploaded it. Also fixed a bug. By the way, what OS do you use?

schnellboot, in order for you to play the game, you'll have to make your bar autohide. In order to do so, right click on your bar, open "Properties", and check "auto-hide taskbar".

Great! I have to redownload it then.
You have just the right attitude, when a problem is pointed out, you go and fix it right away! :D
I use Windows 7.

I had the same problem when I first tried the game on my laptop's 1366*768 screen.

Found a bug from the new version. When you die and then restart the game, the automated collectors don't work anymore.
Otherwise it's great!

Yay! More games to rate! I hope you can complete your game, but if not, it's ok. I understand that you're busy, because I'm really busy too. xD

Oh shoot, I am blind. I just noticed sonic's post. All this time I thought he was not around in the tournament since I haven't seen a post from him on here for a while. That is cool that you are still in! Can't wait to see your game. :)
Btw, don't worry if it isn't complete, as long as you have something for us to see.

At the beginning of the tournament I didn't feel like entering. I felt like continuing working on Pharaoh's Chamber.

But when it was about 10 days before the deadline and it was only Sonic that was in the tournament, I felt like putting something in too. Just so he wouldn't be the only contestant.
I started working on something back then. But in the mean time I had far less time to work on the game than I had hoped.
That is why I will not enter it.

If you see me posting a game in the near future that has rotation in it, you will know that this tournament was the spark that started it :D

@CrackedP0t:
Great game!
