Just saw your devlog page and I must say this : Your dedication to this project is just unreal.

Hello, I discovered another edition of QB64(??!!) and was very surprised. Strange. Perhaps the user community of QB64 was also split into two groups.

I am quite curious. Is Scrapship being developed with QB64 or QB64 Phoenix Edition? Anyway, the development of Scrapship looks awesome!

I put the links of both editions of QB64 on the following webpage. I hope that people can select the most suitable edition for their uses.

I played your game a little and i liked it Very nice game! cool gamedesign and the random forces

i liked you could change weapon  at the start. i will probly check it out again

Damn, I missed one version and A LOT has changed! The game looks fantastic! The new model for the boss is great and destroying enemy ships piece by piece is super satisfying. I also really like the laser beams and the strategic choice of destroying my own wings so I can get closer to the beam and shoot the enemy. 

The only thing I noticed was the toggle fullscreen button wanst very responsive. I had to press it a few times befor it worked.

Really awesome progress, congratulations man!

Played the new version!

The planet down the bottom looked way better.

I also loved the 3d effect, the whole game looked quite nice in general!

Did you take out the shield breaker item?

This is getting better!

I try it :)

Very good game ,

I've always sucked at arcade games, and here's the proof:

Nice to see the project progressing. Point counter immediately adds new goals; I couldn't quite grasp the point logic, but I assume it's still under construction. And as I previously proposed multiplayer mode: local multiplayer would do just fine. This could be a great co-op hassle with players shooting each other by accident while trying to survive.

Ideas for minor improvements:
- Control scheme is mentioned only during startup screen. It should probably be visible from main menu also.
- In game over screen, 'y' should restart the battle immediately without going through the main menu ('n' could take to menu). This would greatly enhance the trial-error flow. 
- I faced a bug, where ships no longer appeared, and the point counter just kept rolling until I quit the game (see the image above).
- F (full screen) and C (weapon change) are pretty close each other. And clumsy as I am...

Great job! Looking forward to new versions. I try to find the time to play some more and give additional feedback.

I've been playing the new demo for a while now and for some reason it feels a lot harder than last time. I had to play it a lot of times before I win it on normal mode, I think the boss should have less HP.

The new 3d model looks great, I love the light that turns on depending on the weapon you are using. I also like that the hud is the ship itself, that is really clever. 

What I liked the most of this version was that the enemy can destroy your secondary weapons and you cant use them anymore, that gives the game a lot more depth. I really, really like this feature a lot. That being said, the secondary weapons feel more like abilities than weapons. Using the weapon that freezes enemies and then swaping to the main weapon felt a little weird. 

The fullscreen was a life-saver for me and my laptop Im super greatfull that you added it. I cant seem to go back to windowed mode with G though (not that I wanted to, just testing it)

Another little thing is, on the settings menu, I dont get to press the "back" button, I just press the down arrow and it goes back instantly. Its not a big deal by any means.

Anyway, I will play the game some more, I really like how its turning out. Can't wait for the next one!

Very comfortable and pleasing to both eyes and ears; almost soothing experience, peculiar for a space shooter. Movement speed is pretty much there, which is usually a problem in games like this. To me, vertical aspect ratio brings a nice, old-school arcade feeling. Extra bonus for being the first game I've seen to have separate settings for sound and audio :)

Suggestions:
- I'm so used to WASD-controls, that it would be nice to have them supported in addition to arrow keys.
- In game over -screen, I'd expect "no" to bring me back to main menu and "yes" to restart immediately. Also, menu could save my previous selections (now they are always reset to "arcade" and "normal").
- I couldn't find any difference between story and arcade mode.

And tips:
- Add an enemy ship that blows into smaller pieces in Asteroids-style.
- This one is screaming for multiplayer mode (cooperative or against each other).
- Point counter would be nice incentive for continuous retries.

Looking forward to see the next version!

Hey. I played your game. I think that the game is very friendly and balanced. It would be nice to have a fullscreen feature. It would also be a much bigger experience if the ship would be able to turn 360 degrees and explore the world. Anyway, it is very engaging even now. I recorded a video about your game. If you want me to delete it, let me know.

Ok I just played the game. 

First of all I love the new title's 3d model, it looks great. I think the main menu music is also new? I really, really like it! I couldn't tell the difference between story mode and arcade to be honest, but the difficulty levels felt great. I'm still unable to beat the hard difficulty but I WILL god dammit! The only thing about the main menu I found rather weird is the lack of a 'start' button. I know I have to press enter while choosing the game mode, but when I'm selecting the difficulty I also try to start the game with enter by intuition, I think a start button would solve that: you choose the game mode, then the difficulty and then you hit start. The game tips are also a nice addition.

 About the gameplay itself. You added new voice acting lines? I love them, they sound great. I also really like the new repair and slow time power-ups, but that makes the weapon upgrades less common and I kind of miss the old weapon upgrade system. The life hub next to the ship turned out great and now I can't imagine not having it. The fact that the boss can escape now makes it a little too difficult, especially on hard mode in my opinion.

I don't know what you did, but the game feels a lot faster and responsive. The only way i can describe it would be "PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW KAPOOOW" if you know what I mean. I really like all the pew-pews! 

Anyway, GREAT progress as always and I'll be waiting eagerly for the next update.

Played through the new demo!  :)

Big improvement, I ended up playing it for a lot longer then I intended to!

Love how you can now progressively get stronger through the power ups.

The variety in enemies is now quite good as well.

I did find the hit box a bit frustrating, i would hit an enemy with my ship and explode when I didn't think i was that close.

Also, that big ship that shoots from left to right in a spray is maybe a bit too difficult.

The bullets hit the top of the screen and disappear rather than moving off the screen, not sure if this is on purpose or an oversight.

I did get to the end I think, no more enemies spawned after a while, and I couldn't find anymore scrap.

Overall, a major improvement from the last demo I played, the game is starting to feel like a real game and is quite enjoyable.  Good job!  :)

Very good game! I enjoyed the fast paced gameplay and good sound effects. Keep up the good work and im looking forward to the next demo!

I really liked the game.

Mechanics are well made.
Enemy designs are good and gameplay feels great.
Also this game is made without a game engine so i appreciate that.
I think you can make the gameplay faster also you should upgrade art.
Other than that game is pretty good. well done.
