Ranked from 14 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
In this game, you control three ships at the same time. When you hold the Space key, the ships group together and attacks deal more damage - they're stronger together.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and sprites, yes. The sound effects, music, title screen background and the keyboard key icons are from asset packs (I've added links in the Credits section of the page)

Neat concept, but I think you need to make the decision between keeping the ships together and apart more weighty.  Maybe some enemies are easy and spread out and some are harder and require you to be together.  Also there might need to be something to protect forcing you to split up to clear smaller enemy waves.  You nailed the atmosphere with the music, sound, and art.  Great job.

Totally agree - it would definitely be better if you were forced to spread out now and then. Thanks for the feedback!

Loved the game, full stop.  Great mechanic that you have to draw the ships together to defeat the bigger baddies!

Solid game, the gameplay is very fun and the power ups are a great addition, though there does not seem much reason to let your ships be apart. The difficulty goes up gradually at not a too slow or a too fast pace, good job!

Nice game! Love the feel of it. Music and graphics fit really well and the mechanics are fun. 
It is a bit hard to dodge enemy bullets when the ships are apart. Seems like the ships are stronger together.

Loved the use of merging them together to get stronger.. especially because I went with a similar theme! Nice job!
