DIY Airship Bullet Heaven! - Airships: Lost Flotilla [Demo] 

Developer of Lost Flotilla here - Thank you so much for spending all this time with the game, and for your analysis, which will definitely help inform where I'm going with it.

"Just waggle" is called serpentine, it is an actual evasive maneuver.

There's a comment about removing things from the item pool. Having weapons cap out fairly "early" seems like this game is taking that direction. You invest in other things to increase your damage passively while still being able to see whats going on. Really like the idea where a lot of power is gained from simply being able to maneuver. Which fits the theme very well. Overall I think the direction is amazing, better than Brotato and the upgrade system has a crazy amount of potential as well as not being super boring like most VS style games where the upgrades are essentially just weapons.

Do remember that most shot prediction in games go off of your *current* movement - it's really hard to do anything else. So if anything about your movement *changes* - which is mostly 'you turn' or 'you stop turning' - the prediction breaks down.

Developer again here - you may be interested in the new demo version I just released. Based in part on your feedback, there is now an overworld map where you can pick where your fleet travels, who it fights, and who it allies with. That will still get refined before the final release, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

I feel like one thing that can be done is keep the scrap to heal mechanic, but take out the scrap into money, and add a base building element before the main shop where the scrap is your currency, and you can buy things like passive income, more slots for weapons, escorts, and doctrines, free re-rolls, more shops slots, banishes, your weapon upgrades/weapon mods, and other things like that, while having the main shop be all passives, with them being EXP upgrades, and base weapons/escorts using cash

Looks like a fun game!! The music levels need work lol.

Personally the shop differences makes this game look more interesting to me then Brotato. I won't buy Brotato but I might buy this one.

A very, very clear homage to 'Raid on Bungeling Bay'.

Would love to see a video on airships: conquer the skies

I think maybe rolling and locking to save parts is better than buying random stuff?

Still waiting for Bubble Tanks to be made into a full game :D Great video, blown me like a 15 years back, into the flash era. Keep up the good work :3

At 6:44 the things you mentioned that could be a cool game is pretty close to what "starsector" currently is

The game noise was a bit loud was hard to hear ya Wander

Please go back to Airships: Conquer the Skies. It has changed quite a bit since you last played it.

It’s worth noting that since armor works by subtracting damage from every projectile, high-volume, low-damage weapons like the Gatling Gun and especially the Grapeshot Cannon fall off significantly once you start facing armored enemies. During your Battleship run, those gargoyles that killed you were only taking one third of the Gatling’s DPS and no damage at all from your Grapeshot Cannon.

kinda tilted how attached you were to the wurm rifle at the end...

Remind me of paper planet

Cool game but some of your decisions are questionable. You had opportunities to pick up fire rate, xp and speed increases and ignored them. 😅 They're just always good options yet ignored a few times.

I think the assessment of this early build of the game are very good, delivering constructive criticism and valuable feedback to the dev. Will be following this game as the development proceeds!

Why does RU-vid say this game is Swarm Grinder?

I think this would be more fun if the ship customization was more sinilar to conquer the skies. You add a workshop to increase repair speed, different types of propulsion to better control your ship, better floating power, ammo/weapons. It all ties together quite well and would have the game stand apart a bit more from others in the genre
