I suck at this but it is fun. I think?
Reviews for "Escape from the VBP"

Haha, just try to go to Shop and you'll get some bonus money immediately. You can spend them on the speed upgrade and this will make playing easier.
The spaceship's "collision box" is too big, at least I'm getting destroy without actually touching the obstacles.
meinlogin responds:
I guess the issue is in some obstacles' hitboxes, will look into it later today.
this could be so much better.
the limited ammo crap was annoying.. and poorly explained. yes you said "gun is useless without it" but that wasn't exactly clear. why not just call it ammo or "maximum ammo" or something? or better yet why not remove that stupidly annoying mechanic and replace it with a nice solid set of upgrades of the weapon instead.
also.. no indicator of how much health or ammo you have was quite a ridiculous oversight on your part.
why not more enemies? why not a real incentive to buy the weapons?
in short.. why not make a good game instead of a bad one that had the merest semblance of promise?
and having to click use on the weapon after you buy it... that would make more sense if the interface was cleaner.. instead of a mess where you have to click these icons to have a clue what they are.
all in all... i was going to give this 3 stars but writing this review made me realize it was more like a 1.5.
if you wish to respond to my feedback, message me privately. i can't reply to your response here.
meinlogin responds:
There are ammo and health indicators at the bottom of the screen, I will make some different instructions to better explain this. In short, I wanted to make this game more like avoider, and not like shooter, so that's why there is limited ammo. Anyway, thanks for the fair opinion!
in the opening cutscene thing, the ship looks like superman on fire
just thought you'd like to know that

^_^
Not bad. Got me entertained for a while; it's quite addictive. Also, even after beating the game, I played again only to get all achievements, buying weapons worse than the one I had and chasing bonuses just for chasing them.
The teleport was a bit annoying because there wasn't much visual feedback about it (and in the first upgrade levels it's hard to notice it)... dunno, maybe an icon indicating that you are teleporting, or a trail of semi-transparent aircrafts, like >>>>>. Same goes with the weapon; I didn't notice I had bought it because it's not armed by default and you have to click "Use". Other than that, the game was cool.
I don't like that the Top 100 score is divided by countries.
meinlogin responds:
Thanks for your opinion, I'm glad you liked the game. Now I see that some in-game things might have been explained better. About the scoring system: I have no influence on it, I'm just developer:).
