Here is how to win:

* Play my game on Steam Workshop
* Find the hidden easteregg

Thats it. First one to comment with a screenshot on the Workshop Page of my game with a link to a screenshot of the easteregg wins a free copy of fortix.

Here is how you play it:

* Download GameMaker
* Subscribe to my game
* Launch GameMaker
* Select Play
* Select the game and press Download or Play

I am giving hints if nobody found it after a certain amount of time.

Steam Workshop
IndieDB (has nothing to do with the eastergg)


Hint 1

It has nothing to do with the score


Hint 2

Oh lord thy sea is so big and my ship so small..


Hint 3

Time is of the essence. Use your mouse and hunt down the cat.

I seriously doubt anyone wants to go through the trouble of that for a $1 game.

I mean yeah, I kinda want it for my sis who really wants it, but I doubt I would be able to download a GameMaker program from Steam and find a single easter egg in your game.

(sorry for hijacking, just making a point)

If playing a game is trouble, then I keep my Fortix :). Having 2 is even more fun!

On a more serious note, this is a puzzle and it is not really that hard to find it :)

Never said it wasn't a good idea.... But downloading something I will never use and playing a single game just to get a game I already have isn't something I'm interested in doing!

Cool, so why post if it's something you're not interested in? Plus you didn't say that, you said that you seriously doubt "anyone" wants to do it. I'm sure some people will do it, no point in putting down his idea.

Tried it, the highest score I could get before I just couldn't play anymore was 70 points... o_O

You should enable auto fire by holding the space bar. Clicking like mad isn't fun.

It is deliberate. If you miss your enemy, you lose a multiplier. If you hit you gain one.
So having some sort of autofire would contradict that. BUT there is a second weapon to unlock.

The game looks cool, but

  1. It's way to easy: The base has way to much enegery, and it heals to fast. It was always nearly at 100%.
    Is it the point of the streak-counter to stay at 300? all the time? It is harder to miss then hit something.
    The boss is a joke. It never hit me once after 9 waves.

  2. It gets boring way to fast:
    All the waves feel the same. Same enemies, same bosses, same gun... It is very repetitive.
    I don't like that your spaceship is locked in one dimension.

Score: 206434 - Still no easteregg :P

I agree, for seasoned shmup players it is too easy atm. I am currently trying around different ideas to improve that. The boss is getting an overhaul atm, so he has a more streamlined and interesting behavior. Also, that teleporting bug is annoying when he reaches the right side.

The game also needs some more perks. But this is only a preview version, so I limited the perks.
But thanks for the hint with the base. I play my game intensivly, but at some point you lose the eye for some things and just think it is fine.
That's why criticism like yours is very valuable.
So thanks for playing :).

Hint: The easteregg has nothing to do with score :).

edit:
I just checked, you lose multiplier if you miss if you have 300. Yeah, it is not hard to miss, but that mechanic exists to discourage from spamming shots without resorting to some energy based mechanic.

When you launch GameMaker, it shows you a big square where it says "Play" or "Make".
Press Play...

Nope, sorry that is a central part of the game :D.

That you start out with one perk point is actually a bug. Forgot to remove a developer cheat when I uploaded it. Happens. But the perk points are (normally) awarded each 4 levels.

But the easteregg is something that looks totally different when it pops up and it is in fact a secret.
Read the OP again for hints.
