I really liked it! Assembling your mega-super-incredible-spaceship was nice :D

I like the highscore, and "assimilation" mechanics. Just think that you should make it less "easy" to pick up every single ship, and maybe make it so that some ships are like "virus" and shouldn't be picked up. Otherwise it's a really nice game and pretty fun.

Submitted

Great game, really addictive. It took me a while to get why sometimes the ships i collected where dying, but once I got it, it was incredibly fun.
The integrated highscore is a great addition.

Submitted

Pretty neat concept! it was not clear from the start what to do, but once i got it, it was super fun!

Submitted

Really cool concept, the idea can definitely be expand upon! I see lots of cool possibilities for this game in my play thru. Well done! 

Submitted

That's a good concept.
It is kindda difficult at the start, but them I get invincible with a lot of bombs and shoots.

Submitted

First playthrough i didn't got the idea until I accendentally bumped in an enemy. But it was my fault because I didn't read the isntructions. Nice idea to turn your enemies into you allies but dont get too much to get a high score.

funny game - thx

Very smooth! I only missed some in-game explanations of how this works but I created a monstrous spaceship anyway :P. Submitting scores was a great idea.

There is a help popup you can open with H but I guess the message in the bottom right that told you that blends in too much with the background.

First rule of game design: no one ever reads anything lol. Great game though!

Submitted

You’re right! The game started so fast I did not even notice. Thanks for telling me :)

Submitted

Feels good to move the ship with the mouse, smooth controls. It takes me a min to understand that you can cath other ship to use them as a new weapon, very clever!

Developer

Well, at the start it says "Press H for Help" but I guess that isn't eye-catching enough.

Submitted

Looks really nice, good job.

Is it just me, or the SFX sound like music when there are many? :))

Developer

Maybe because the pitch is slightly randomized for every sound. (:

Submitted

It sounds cool in my opinion, so it could be considered a feature. :D

Submitted

I loved the balance of adding to your ship vs getting points- plus it was just awesome seeing a swarm of bullets fly across the screen- nice work!

Submitted

Haha I see we settled on similar ideas yet took it in very different directions, enjoyed my time flying around creating a huge stacked monstrosity of a ship! Nice job!

Cool concept, the visuals aren't my cup of tea, but I certainly appreciate the time you put into this.  Turning enemy ships into firepower was fun and it is an interesting idea.  Keep it up!
