Assume it’s on rails? If anyone checks it out, would love some impressions. Might grab it anyway later. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #3 vectorarchitekt, Dec 14, 2022 Seems like an interesting Star Fox take just different enough to not infringe on anything. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,971 721 113 England #4 psj3809, Dec 14, 2022 Searched on YouTube and saw a long trailer for it.

Jackaluk Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 401 94 28 #10 Jackaluk, Dec 21, 2022 Thanks, how does it play? squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #11 squarezero, Dec 21, 2022 If you like on rails space shooters like Star Fox, you’ll enjoy this. The conceit is that these are training simulation missions, which takes away a bit of the stakes. I’m also not crazy about how the campaign is parsed out, with each mission disconnected from the previous one. The game could use a stronger narrative thread. But the action is solid and both touch and controller controls are good. sraptor likes this. Jackaluk Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 401 94 28 #12 Jackaluk, Dec 23, 2022 Thanks, yeah I did like starfox back in the day, there was another arcade shooter, starblade that was similar from back then, loved that as well! sraptor Member Mar 31, 2015 15 3 3 Game Developer Spain #13 sraptor, Dec 31, 2022 I just came to let you know that in the latest update we have also added support for game controllers to the game UI. Also now the touch buttons vanish when a gamepad is detected. Glad to see that you like the action! We are taking note of all comments to improve the game as much as we can. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #14 squarezero, Dec 31, 2022 That’s great to hear. For the campaign, I think all you need to do is set it up so that you can go from one mission to the next, rather than return to the main menu. It would make the campaign feel more connected. Some story beats might help, too — the characters look cool, but we don’t get to learn much about them. Nice game, though. Good luck with it! sraptor likes this. sraptor Member Mar 31, 2015 15 3 3 Game Developer Spain #15 sraptor, Dec 31, 2022 Thank you very much! Totally understandable. The game has been developed on an extremely tight budget, and several things have had to be left out. One of them was the briefings between levels. That could have mitigated that apparent disconnect in the story. Although all the relevant parts have been explained in the in-game dialogues. As a small sample of all that discarded content, I posted on Twitter some more insight into the 3 protagonists, Blaze, Kiro and Axel. I take good note of what you say about continuing directly to the next level. I'm hopeful that the game will perform good enough that I can give it another general review sooner than later, or even a sequel in which the characters and their universe could be addressed properly.

I just keep dodging and shooting and dying sraptor likes this. sraptor Member Mar 31, 2015 15 3 3 Game Developer Spain #17 sraptor, Jan 29, 2023 Just keep shooting a bit more. It has a limited amount of life, the life bar is just hidden on this battle. As a hint, you'll see that the bug changes its color from green to yellow during the battle. Keep shooting until is fully yellow. After that, the game is basically over. Just keep your cool and try again, it is easier than the previous encounter! A tip: Keep your ship away and high and only face him after his attack. His attacks are mostly down horizontal or vertical. If you feel confident enough, a well timed roll will make you invulnerable during the exact time of his attack (it is very hard, but he can be defeated in speed-run time without moving away and using just rolls). But I do not recommend you to try it now. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #18 Brightsiderus, Jan 29, 2023 It’s just that I don’t have much health after previous battles.
