    I am so bad at this game. It would mean a lot to me if someone else would play it and record it. I love the dialogue.

    As fun as it’s hard. Trying to get coins really makes attacking ships impossible and vice versa, I wonder how better it gets when you have the skill to pursue both goals.

    What would definitely improve the experience’s making iteration a little more painless. As it is, you have to pull a hand out of the keyboard, click the game to take focus away from the typing box, press tab and then space. Game this hard, you won’t care about highscores unless you have a decent score, which is almost never, so the typing stuff should only appear when you openly call for it.

      thanks for the feedback. i could have sworn it wouldn’t keep focusing the text field automatically, not sure why it’s doing that now. i’ll have to unearth the project and fix that sometime.

        The text field focus does indeed feel very random, sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. It’s fair to say though that the game’s fun enough that I eventually don’t care how many keystrokes it takes to start again.

        It also reminded me of Missile Walker, you should check it out I guess.

    Fun game but the controls are really weak. Someone must really love the missile level of Contra 3.
