Got 6250 pts on the first mission... Not sure if good or bad, but what I know is that the atmosphere in the game is very pleasant.

It's a shame you can't fly low, closer to the ships and do some cool stunts/check out the fleet from a closer perspective.


I really want another season or two of the anime, there's just so much they could expand on!

That's really high. I only got 4,250 and that's because I didn't get perfect a couple times.

That's what I was thinking. Not being able to fly closer made the free flight mode somewhat boring, but I guess they didn't want to bother with all that collision physics for a small game.

I'm not a gamer, but watching these videos made me want to rewatch Gargantia. =D

Dang, I missed too many and got a 0 score.


Also, anyone else having a problem where inverting the Y-axis doesn't work? I want up to push me up and down to push me down, and neither option worked for that.

Can't test the options now, but my default controls allowed me to point up when I pushed up...

Funny how laggy this is on all browsers for me even tho I can run games like BF4 at max settings with 100+ FPS. Tis the fate of browser games , I guess. Only when I speed up tho so my score is limited by going slow

Man, I have a laggy 7-8 year old laptop that plays this game without lay in the newest version of Firefox - weird.

Couldn't play the game part at all in IE. It was a lagging, stuttering mess that was maxing out my CPU, something most modern games don't do at max settings, and completely unplayable. In Chrome the gameplay was nice and smooth, but occasionally stalls on loading screens.

English dialogue is pretty funny, there are a lot of places where it gets way, way too wordy compared to what's being spoken. For a guy that speaks in short, broken sentences Ledo sure can ramble in this game.

That was pretty fun! Though it took me three tries to figure out what the heck my mission was. It played very smoothly for me. But then, I wasn't using IE Wink

That's actually the default option. Invert Y-axis will make the control more inline with flight sim control (S-down to point the nose up/ W-up to point nose down).

Got 6160 on the mission; 7xGreat, 13xPerfect and with 33 seconds to spare.

Mine was glitched, then, because it started out like that, and inverting did nothing.
