    This is DEFINITELY one hell of a free game! Thanks for this, devs! I feel like a moron because until my last play session I've been avoiding the weapon drop things because I thought they were trying to kill me at first lmao. It's a whole new ballgame now!

    2,326m is my best now. The shotgun owns. 'Nuff said.

    Cheers!

    I really like the game! Can you explain why the laser isn't always powerful enough to destroy the missiles?

    Makes sure you HOLD the right side to charge up the laser ;)

    (each weapon works a little bit differently)

    Thanks so much for the kind words! Also nice to hear you would have paid for it. We're currently trying to figure out how to fund our next game (we can't make all our games for free!)

    Well, you're ahead of the competition, because you already have our attention! In version 2 I'd like to be able to actually reach that last spaceship and leave the Earth - and the game needn't end there!
    Thanks for one of the few really free games on any platform that are actually worth playing! I'll buy your next one, good luck, guys!

    I don't like dying in one hit, one mistake. :eek:
    So this just isn't my thing.
    The rest of it seems to be pretty good, but I can't stand that one thing.

    Cool game, but also not a fan of the instant kills. Problem is they come quick and early with little to no warning. Then you have to suffer through the slow mo death. Would suggest you pace it better so the player can enjoy a little more of the game first. Maybe slower running that ramps up. Also, some early warning system like how Jetpack Joyride tells you about oncoming missiles would be more fair. And finally, let us skip or turn off the slow mo.

    Still, I appreciate the work that went into this!

    Agreed, the single hit, single slip, single mistake deaths suck. Would be better with some other system implemented. Love the game graphically but the randomness of dying not attributed to skill or lack there of is well, lackluster. Don't see this having much longevity on my devices. Sad, rlly.

    Lastronaut is the only game in the game of the week poll currently without a vote. For shame. :( If Lastronaut was your favourite game from last week you still have time to vote! ^^^

    Thats awesome Darrin and Steph! I'm glad you can get that kind of feeling! You made a gem and you made it for FREE to us gamers. That's appreciated for sure. I hope your next game isn't free so we can hopefully pay you for your troubles and time you two have spent.

    Thank you
