What do you think?

45 minutes of game-play and only reached the second boss so far. Very excited to pick this back up tomorrow and see where the story goes! :3

Defiantly hits me with nostalgia, although my fingers cramp up on the keyboard (though I could just suck at keyboard movement ) definitely has improved with the updates. Also end boss is too easy (took an entire week to get skilled enough to kill boss). A co-op would be cool......

Overview:

Your ship has just been sucked through a wormhole, and your warp core has blown out! Can you make the perilous Ten Lightyear journey back home in this vertical scrolling shooter?

Currently, the game is semi-stable, and I update it relatively often, so check back every now and again to ensure you're not missing any updates or bug fixes!

Features:

  • 75 Levels

  • 15 Boss Battles

  • Keyboard and GamePad Support

  • Upgrades for your ship

Credits:

Made by me, The_Scientist___. I spent a rather long time making everything and, as such, hope you enjoy!

New Update!

I've found time to patch up a couple things:

Nerfed the 5th boss

Added a bonus for no-hitting levels

The core burst makes lasers flicker when used so they don't hurt you.

Another Update:

I've managed to find time after the Total TakeOver release to finish up this update:

Fixed a number of bugs with the upgrades menu

Added a new upgrade that lets you increase the damage your Core Burst ability does.

New Update!

It's just a minor update, but it does change a few things, mainly the third boss.

I just buffed every boss beyond belief, so now begins a period of gradual nerfing all across the board until the game is perfectly balanced, as all things...

Oops! Update...

Well, I found a game-breaking bug and fixed it! Sorry for the inconvenience...

~Fixed the bug where the game would crash if you ran into the Magenta UFO's

The Biggest Update Yet:

It's been a while, and there are too many changes to count! Just know that the game just got very, very difficult.

Note: This update is NOT compatible with previous saves. You will need to start a new game.

Another Patch!

Ten Lightyears 1.1.2 is now out, improving some QoL:

New BugFix Update!

Ten Lightyears 1.1.1 is out now, bringing with it 3 major changes:

New Update Released!

Ten Lightyears 1.1.0 is out! It's mainly bug fixes, but do look at the full list below.
More changes are on the way and the game is in early development, so if you want to request a feature/tweak, visit our site and let us know!

Bug fix in the works...

As I'm sure you noticed, there are several typos in the dialogue texts, so expect (most) of those to be fixed.
The biggest feature to expect is a new tutorial system involving graphics.

Until it's released...

Is this thing on?

I hope I've done everything correctly, as this is my first time using GameJolt. In any case, the first official release is up!
