Summary

Players experienced significant technical issues with the game, including crashes, errors, and unclear gameplay mechanics. Many found the game buggy and difficult to play, with some unable to run it at all. While the concept of the dummy ship was noted as interesting, the overall execution was seen as incomplete and frustrating. A few players expressed hope for a fixed version but generally abstained from rating due to the problems.

    Not much I can really add.. it's incredibly buggy. :/

    This game is broken beyond repair, not even an exe, and even when you compile it it's still incredibly buggy, game crashes if you move too much, and there's no real purpose.

    I like the idea of the dummy ship tho, could've been fun if you developed it further and fixed the crashes.

    Interesting game! I included it in my GM48: Sacrifice compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/MxThB7fKjVE

    I can compile it and play it but I'm not exactly sure what's supposed to be happening. I seem to be controlling two different ships, the laser always comes from the same place regardless of the ships' positions, and sometimes I get an error when the ship crashes. It might be too late submit it here, but hopefully you can create a fixed executable version to share somewhere.

      Hi,thank you for the feedback. The controlling of the two ships,is intentional. I did that on purpose, LOL, because one is a dummy ship,hence you sacrifice your main player,to keep playing the game. The random lasers wasnt intentional,but I kept in there because I thought it looked cool. I had no idea whats supposed to be happening either,other than, to just have fun playing the game. I apologize for the crashes. It was the best I could do in 48 hours. If you want feel free to vote for the game, even if you think its terrible lol. If you made a game too, let me know, Ill vote for it. I am also working on the game fixing it,yes I want to share it with everyone. I want to make sure its playable as possible.

    Unfortunately I can't play, because when I try moving I get this error:


    FATAL ERROR in action number 5 of Step Eventobj_ufo for object obj_player:

    global variable <unknown built-in variable>(-1610512736, -2147483648) not set before reading it. at gml_Object_obj_player_CollisionEvent_10_5 (line 2) - b = action_if_variable( global.ufotime, 100, 2 );


    Don't worry, I wont give you a bad rating. I'll just abstain. Shame your game doesn't work :(

      Hi,thank you, I appreciate the feedback,I didnt know the game wasnt going to load, I loaded it and made sure it would and that it would be somewhat playable. I guess its not working,Im going to see what I did wrong. I think its the ufotime that is the problem causing some kind of conflict with other code. From what I understand messing with it,the drag and drop conflicted with some of the code I put in the game,and I had to delete some of it,just so I get it to work. Im going to look at it again. thank you again.

    Somehow, when I tried to open this, Game Maker crashed and to my surprise, I got two desktop folders. Please make an executable file. It makes things easier for everyone.

    Event though you shared the project files and not the game I tried playing it but... it just does not work. The player seems to die in the corner, and the dummy ship can only move up or down. And if you crash it at the start it makes an error because a variable wasn't defined.
