Over all pretty interesting. The crafting mechanic at the start with your ship tetris sorta thing is super neat. It kinda reminds me of Asteroids, but with bullets and explosions and other ships, XD

Pretty fun all the same, nice entry, :3

This would be such a fun little multiplayer game with friends! Add some level variants and maybe some power ups and you could probably sell it on a game system like the Switch for a good buck. (At least I know I'd buy it for my Switch) Expertly crafted!

Wow, that's impressive. With a multiplayer, this would be an awesome game! Well done!

I had tons of fun playing this! The tagging mechanic was super fun and very well polished!

Very enjoyable little game/mini-game-type-thingy! The AI was challenging enough to keep things interesting, while not being entirely focused on the player the whole time.

The 'Tetris piece' crafting of your ship was absolutely brilliant. Despite having this comment/review-type-thingy typed out, I actually just went back for another round!


My only complaints:

  • The music doesn't loop. Things got quite desolate after the first few minutes.
  • The AI seems a little too focused on acquiring the power-ups? Time-boosters? Shields? I noticed many times I could catch one of them out by simply sitting near a power-up and waiting.

Highly recommended game!

Thank you so much for your review Liam!

Cool game! The idea of making up your ship is neat. The battle itself is quite fun, it's nice to see an AI in a jam game :). Sometimes the coins appear right on top of a player though. Controlling the ship isn't eazy, but it might just be my bad ship crafting :). The tagging is an interesting mechanic in the way that it pushes you back. I wonder how the game would play if you could use that "shooting" even when you're not tagged :). Nice entry!

This is fun! The tetris/bingo board crafting mechanic is really nifty and the tag gameplay is fun (mad props for making computer players that can navigate/pathfind around the moving obstacles you have in the play area). Would love to play a version of this with local multiplayer!

Hey, glad you liked it! Local multiplayer was definitely in the back of our minds while making this, so maybe we'll add it later!
