Well, I'd suggest the Subset Games forum. My brother plays it on Windows 8 no problem.

Yeah, well I find that it was entirely dependent on how man jumps yielded good things. The game has a high factor of luck. If the crap you need never shows up you might as well restart the game.

So the game was never meant to be beaten with the Type A Kestrel? Maybe the the game is less luck based with other ships, but I could link whether I'm going to get far or not directly to the number of missile using, or Zolton ships (God help you if it's both) you encounter before a cloak or...

So your suggestion is that I should cheat to enjoy the game. :\ Because I generally consider that a failing of the designers'.

After weighing all of the opinions here, I can't shake the feeling that your success or failure is determined by how beneficial or negative those early jump points and sectors are. It's only further compounded by the fact that not every build is able to even have a chance against the final boss...

This is how you make one really good straw-man argument, people, observe what you're not supposed to do. EDIT: Aw! Now I feel bad. Your joke things showed up in the quote. :P Well played, sir, well played. :)

Play enough games, your score will eventually tank. I remember dying on my first jump because it was into a sun and they hit the doors and oxgen. You know what you get if you die on the first jump but manage to take down the ship? Twenty five points. I know this because it happened. I'm...

If you can routinely beat it good for you, play the lottery you've got more luck than I, you could no doubt use a few million dollars. Honestly I felt like something on the last game clicked, but then the final boss is just so beyond the pale of anything reasonably expected (even for a...

That's the worst kind of luck-based. Anyone can make a nigh unbeatable boss if they fly in the face of everything they established. Before anyone says anything, yes I'm sure I could beat him. I was in my second battle with him. However, I noticed too that it is quite possible for the sector to...

Nope I'm done, I can take the luck-driven gameplay, I can take tough battles, but when the final boss is just cheating and OP and pretty much goes against everything else the game established mechanic-wise it's over. Roguelikes play by the rules. The final boss doesn't. I am not however going to...

Someone didn't really read. SHIP COMBAT ISN'T MY PROBLEM. Maybe putting it in big letters will help. If the limited number of sectors don't break your way. No rewards, filler sectors, and the like. It is very easy to end up hilariously underpowered in the later sectors because the early...

I only asked for one thing and that was how to make the sector portion of the game a little less random and you can't do that not really, I don't need help with the ship combat. I've got a very firm grasp on how ship combat works. It's intuitive and very rewarding, where I get absolutely screwed...

Try reading my initial post. I don't advocate running away, because it does make you weaker. If you're too lazy to read two pages of writing then I can't help you Not my point. My point is that it's too random. Your success or failure relies entirely on luck of the draw. It doesn't matter...

What makes yours more valid than mine? Nothing really. I only came here to gauge the reactions of other people to the game when compared to my criticism of it. If you came here hoping to change it just by saying, "Lol, no you're wrong." You're going to need a lot more than what you've offered...

If you can't accept a valid criticism of the game then go somewhere else.
