Deep Space Miner
ABOUT
Through the use of a portal, shoot boulders to get ores! Be careful, as there are enemies waiting in the outskirts of space. If you want to fight back, you'll have to upgrade your ship--- and those ores can definitely be sold in the shop. This game was made in 5 days for the Vimjam Game Jam. NOTE: Make sure not to camp the portal area, as nothing will spawn if you stay there (this was on purpose)

Pizza ships are hard. good game.
It's a cool concept of the game. It would be nice to have soundtracks and some sounds though. I like the pace of the ship and what not. The menu is very confusing so it takes sometime processing of what is going on. The ship is easy to control. Since is a ship vehicle, it should go faster and a little more difficult in handling.
Thanks for the feedback! We ran out of time before we could add sounds and music, so we'll definitely add it if we revisit this. As for the menu comment-- I agree with you, I'll try to make that a bit easier to digest.
I actually quite like the look of this, specifically the background objects, the jet fuel particles and the menu/shopkeeper. The AI was too good, so you can’t really run and then turn to fight fast enough. There was no sound, so I can’t really comment on how it was. The idea was decent!
Thanks for the kind words! I definitely have to tone down the AI, it's a bit too smart LMAO
