A simple yet striking visual style and energetic soundtrack create a captivating atmosphere! I'm a big fan of roguelikes and the connection to fast auto battler seems like an organic blend. The core mechanic of building and upgrading a ship is well-done, and the progression system is satisfying and provides depth and replayability.
Big Ship Energy is a well-polished and enjoyable game that offers a good bag of fun. Its blend of genres, combined with its addictive gameplay and strong visual style, make it a standout entry in the game jam for me. With further development and refinement, it has the potential to become a fully-fledged roguelike release that appeals to a wide range of players, and with the simple control scheme it even has the potential to hit mobile platforms.
I'm interested in potential future development, so gave you a follow on X.
