Early access Alpha Version


I've added a ton more scenes.  This is now the official "alpha version 0.5",  Worked really hard on this.  I've learned a lot about level design.  Its not as easy as people think.  Its an endless shooter.  So chase the high score,  But I still had to ramp up thee difficulty accordingly... gradually over time, by increasing the speed of the forced scrolling etc.   I had to add more power ups for the sake of getting the player out of tricky situations.  I had to change bits that were too hard.  Bits that were too easy.  As the scenes occur randomly you have to check that every scene works in conjunction with every other scene.  So a lot of play testing is on order.

If there's no challenge then there's no fun.  But equally if there's impossible situations where the player dies unfairly, then there's no fun.  Its a really fine balancing act.  I learn more and more about level design by the day.... sometimes it can be fun.  Other times it can be frustrating.  Its just getting that fine balance.  I have added more space coins and diamonds to allow the player to upgrade to better ships.  Or even buy extra power-ups on the  pause screen.  Its all in game currency.  There are zero in-app purchases required.    And zero advertising in this version.

Please like, comment, subscribe, review, share via itch, twitter, facebook, email or whatever.  Feel free to chat to me about what is right with the game so far, and what is not quite there yet.  Your input would be most helpful.
