How does your game fit the theme?
Joined Together - Your ship is comprised of multiple, individual modules that can be attached to your ship at any spot. This means your outermost modules will take the most damage and your innermost modules will be safer, however you can rearrange your modules at any time my jettisoning individual modules and reattaching them to different spots for different configurations. NOTE: Unfortunately there is a critical bug in the jam submission that causes enemies to stop spawning in Sector 6, you cannot progress past this point at this time.

I think it's the most fun space combat game I've seen on this jam ! I have seen a lot of similar concepts, but I think this one works particularly well, with the active pause system and the ability to rebuild your ship as you want. I think it would need enemies a bit bigger, to force the player to focus weak points instead of just spamming the core, and make full use of the cool mechanics.
Graphics are pretty functionnal, Maybe the ship base could stand out a bit more, to show better where to shoot, for many enemies I destroyed what I thought was the core, only to discover that the core was actually right next to it. But that's a really minor complaint.
Excellent feedback, thank you!
Very cool idea and excellent execution! The one thing I'd love to see more is to have a bit more hotkeys for things, instead of having to use Q/E to rotate, maybe rotate by have the ship looking at the mouse. Or have middle mouse button act as a "Target all" hotkey or such. That way I wouldn't have to give up full control of my ship with WASD to rotate or have to finnick with my mouse to get my turrets to target an enemy.
Those are just minor gripes though, your core is really well done! Are you planning to develop it further? I can imagine this kind of game on Steam with some more content and features. The base is very solid! Excellent job!
Thank you for the feedback! We definitely have some plans, and I agree- quality of life improvements would be the most important stuff to get right as we continue to work on this.
Ambitious idea for a 48 game jam but it's executed really well. It has intuitive controls and mechanics that fit the theme really nicely and I could definitely see where this could go if you wanted to expand on it after the jam. Really fun game!
Cool concept that was really well presented :)
It was easy to grasp and fun to play :)
Thank you! Enjoyed your game too!
This game was so fun to play that i think i played it for like 30 minutes. Really nice take on theme.
One problem i faced was that rotation on some point became so slow that my ship did not even move. I'm unsure if this is a bug or intended like this. Anyway a rotational engine module would be nice.
Another thing that would be amazing is binding attack command to a button on keyboard (Like in Starcraft 'A' to attack)
Thanks for the feedback!
became unstoppable space-garbagepile, would recommend
This is a pretty fun game! I like the whole vibe and atmosphere. Killing enemies and stealing their modules until you become a gigantic warship is very satisfying! I also think this is one of the more creative implementations of the theme. Good job!
So satisfying to make your ship larger and larger! Had a lot of fun playing it
thank you for rating and playing it on your stream!
This game is quite underrated. It's a lot of fun to play.
Though I think I noticed a small bug. When I'm really big, pressing only one movement button is really slow, but pressing two (for moving diagonally for example) I move like 5 times as fast.
Thank you for playing! And yeah there is definitely something buggy about movement that we will be taking a look at post-jam.
This might be my favourite game of the jam. I love how you can build an absolute monster of a spaceship. 15/15!
Thank you so much!
Died on sector 5. Loved it ! Everything feels so easy to understand, gameplay is really smooth, it feels like a full fledged game already !
Is there an ending?
There is no ending. It was designed (for the jam) to be an endless roguelike type of game. We will see what it turns into post jam!
I LOVED this game. Everything about it I love, the visual design, and the general gameplay loop were really well made. The way your ship goes from a tiny space truck to a giant mobile mega city with guns. This game was heaps of fun and I hope to see more from you in the future.
Whoa! Thank you so much for the kind words!
This game offers decision making, tight commands + space controls, and plenty of juice.
The content and quality were easily enough to make me play it through to the end.
I had a similar idea of module-joining spaceships. So as a fellow space fan, this game was perfect.
Thank you! Really enjoyed your game too
The game is awesome!
I really enjoyed it, great idea, fun execution I really liked it. Warp effect was especially cool!
I found it great that you could target certain parts of enemies it felt like some real time VATS system from fallout. The presentation aspect could be worked on a little bit more (other that warp, warp is awesome) but it still serves the purpose well. I wish I could see this idea expanded even further in the future. Great game overall.
I have one question though, was I supposed to be able to move out of the first tutorial room with the turret joined? because it felt like I'm squezzing through and felt like I cheated the system, but that's maybe just me patting myself on the back.
Btw. I'm really dumb, because I destroyed my Warp cell in tutorial.
Thank you for the feedback! Regarding leaving the tutorial room, it was designed to encourage you to learn the jettison feature, but we didn't quite hit that design goal as well as we had hoped.
Also, its ok. You're not the only person to do that hehe
Really polished with intuitive controls and mechanics. Had a great time while Playing
Thank you Kartik ;)
Amazing game. Well designed. Definitely should get in top 100.
Thank you so much!!
This is a gem! It seems so polished for 48 hour work time. Definitely reminds me of Faster than Light and the quality of life things like pause and "target all turrets" make it even more fun! The Visuals of the Control Compartment could be improved but thats a thing you wont nitpick on in a game jam submission. I personally love it, the best game i have rated so far!
Thank you so much! Looking forward to checking out your game too.
This is some really hot work, its definitely a contender for top 100! Hope this gets more attention.
I streamed this game, you can catch the vod at http://bit.ly/bean-stream
thank you!!!
Haaa yes, reminds me of "Captain Forever". Very fun. I've made it to the level 7!
I had some weird issue though, I think I could only move in diagonals.
Well done, this is an impressive game to be made in 48 hours!
thank you for playing!
Absolutely amzing! the gameplay was very fun and unique, this has lots of replayability and amazing visuals.
thank you!
