In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have to use both ships, so they are almost useless by themselves but strong when combined. You also collect debris and combine them to make items, so they also fit the theme.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the code and made the sprites and sounds. The musics are public domain

So it took me a few tries to figure out the gameplay, but I did really like it. The first playthrough I didn't get I had to/could switch spaceships and still got to the end. But then I checked the tutorial and saw you could switch.. and then after I figured out some more stuff. The Boss fight at the end didn't see to do much? But still, all in all I liked playing the game and it looks good. Fun idea!

Cool game! I really wish I could hear the sound, since the rest of the game is great! Besides sound, the game is well polished graphically and is satisfying to play. 

It has one main issue though that pervades throughout the game which is communicating things to the player. This appeared first when it asked me to choose which route I wanted to go on. It gave me a screen full of symbols which I had no idea what they meant. I also thought the game was broken because I was trying to click on the later nodes in the path since they were lighting up when I moused over them,  but apparently I just had to start at the left side.

This issue also comes up when I get more equipment. There are just icons which I have no idea what they mean. Also, I found it weird that 'more frequent debris' came up as an upgrade, do I want debris? I thought it damaged me?

Overall this game is soo soo close to being a really fun game, the sprites, the gameplay, and the polish are all there! I feel like all the issues I listed above could be fixed with just a few tooltip text boxes.


Edit: Also I feel like the asteroid hitboxes were a little bit too unforgiving

Thanks for the feedback! I couldn't really communicate what you're supposed to do very well because of time issues; the game should be more clear. I would actually reduce the hitboxes or something, even I get hit often by them. The debris are the things you collect to craft the items, so more of them is better; again, it could be more clear.

If you want to replay the with sounds, the download version works, Unity is just bugged for web(I spent 2 hours trying to fix it, nothing worked).

Ok I went back and played with sounds, nice! There's still the issue that I don't entirely know what's going on. Is the debris the little green orbs or the silver metal stuff? I also just learned that you could shoot in this game too lmao
