Great job submitting a game! This is a really unique concept and a great twist on a space shooter. You really thought of everything with the upgrade menu, warning if something would get destroyed, saying in advance if there was no valid place for one. I was impressed.
It was really fun customizing my own ship and sometimes dealing with putting an upgrade I didn't want on it. Bombs were really underwhelming imo. Often they only killed one thing. Maybe the blast could be bigger. The game got a little stale near the end because I just spam fired and couldn't die. I stopped around 6k points.
I continued to be surprised with how many unique enemies still showed up in late levels. I love how the unlockable ships are just optimal builds that you might not get to make in a run with the barebones ships. Also I love all the references to nerd culture haha. Thanks for participating!
