In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player upgrades by merging with other ships so that they're stronger together

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Using Unity as an engine, vast majority of scripts written by me but I did use an open source sprite destruction library which is credited in the game description.
Art assets are free assets from Kenney and sound is made by a teammate on the project. Both are credited in game description.

I like that the player got bigger when you would get powerups because it added just a bit more difficulty to it

If you have the time please consider rating my game and leaving a review

Very fun game! I like you're interpretation of the theme, its clever that you get stronger while also becoming bigger which subtly makes the game harder. The sound design was great too.

I didn't read your In what does your game fit the theme comment before I played the game. So at first I was like "how does this fit the theme?" and then I got the power ups. My ship got stronger (and bigger) and I was hooked (just like the other ship on my initial ship)! I had choice if I wanted extra life or I wanted bombs. Of course I went with the bombs and it made the game so much better. It is easy to get into it, but it gets more advanced when you get more power ups. 

Great game and good job. Everything from art to gameplay were fantastic! =D

High quality,  metching theme well.

Love bullet hells so of course I love this! Frantic and fun, love the upgrade system (also taking damage also acts as a kind of bomb?! cool!), and the glow effects for enemies/projectiles make the screen look so cool, like fireworks. Love the card motif, just a really solid and good time. Awesome!

This game is really fun, even tho im not that good at it! Gameplay wise i really like it, but  the art style could have used a little more polishing i think. It looks a little bit bland.

But overall a really solid jam submission!
