The screen shake and the background were so good. It's cool that your ship can destroy other possible hosts uncontrollably and make things difficult for you.

But i have to say,

Dude!! My game is also set in a spaceship set to explode but has totally different mechanics. That's such a cool coincidence!

Thanks! I checked out your game and it was really cool too, but I only managed to get a score of 400 haha!

That was really fun, i especially liked the concept of hijaking other spaceships to continue on the game. Really well done. And the gameplay was very good. Very gooood

One of my favourite games so far. I loved the chaos of switching ships.

The idea for this game is super fun. The presentation and music bring out a nice space atmosphere, while the SFX's create great feedback. It took me a single second to figure out what I had to do, and that alone is perfect. Great game!

That's exactly what I was going for with the sound effects! Thanks so much for the feedback!

Wow, this is great! Fun concept and very well-scoped for a jam game. The only thing I can think to add would be a high-score function. Great twist on a space shooter to fit the theme :)

Glad you liked it! I thought about adding a high score feature but ran out of time unfortunately.

I like it! An interesting take on the theme and pretty fun too. Maybe add an in-game tutorial to explain the basics?

Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it!
