Controls are... pretty unintuitive. If the control scheme was better somehow, it'd make the game a lot more exciting, and thus, fun.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD11 → Spacbattle is done-ish

"Hooray" for Rapidshare. Holy crap, I have never seen a captcha that annoying. I already hate your game and it hasn't even finished downloading yet!
The windows version didn't include the readme, that I could find. And I'm not going back to rapidshare to get the other one!
Anyway, on to the actual game! I guess what I think is that I like it a lot, except I really hate how it actually plays. Steering the ships is crazy (and when they're heading down, it's very confusing). I got to the second battle (he had a cruiser, I didn't... sad), and it devolved into a whole lot of both of us going offscreen and popping back on for a moment before going away again, until he finally cruisered me away.
So I like the ships and having them battle it out. I wish there was a better way to make them do so.
Hm, never really figured out how to control ships properly. Very slow-paced gameplay, just not my cup of tea.
Fit the theme in terms of minimalistic control-scheme and graphics.
I have a problem with this kind of cat captchas -- I can't read them. Might try later.

Great fun! Controls could be a little better, but overall, awesome. The little lines in the corners add a lot.
I also got the MSVCR71.dll could not be extracted error, but I just ran it with python.
We need some kind of file hosting for the next LD - but not mandatory - rapidshare etc. sites are annoying.
Didn't work for me in Windows, had to play it in Linux. And that captcha is whack.
Anyways, the game is pretty slow paced, and the controls are annoying. It seemed to me like gunships might be overpowered. Not sure about that though, but they just require the least amount of maneuvering. With some better controls the game could be a lot of fun I think.
I get the MSVCR71.dll error (I got this on a few others too, but it still seems to run for them) and then: File "mainuildmainout1.pyz/pygame", line 52, in __getattr__
otImplementedError: surfarray module not available/ I'll try again when there is a v1.2?
the latest win32 exe still didn't work for me. Got that MSVCR71 error others were getting and then a whole bunch of warnings and errors that eventually seemed to end in that __GETATTR error I saw someone else had. I'm on fairly standard winxp.
After installing python and pygame now I get the following errors:
"Fatal Pyhton error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault"
It was a pretty interesting game; however, it was hard to continually have to tweak the movement of all your ships.
I'm getting the "Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault" too...
... I got further, after installing numpy,
now I get this (pasting the end of the traceback)

.. If there are suggestions I'll try them.
Getting similar errors to what others are reporting. Looks kind of interesting on the screenshots though.
Cannot run. :/
Same problems as sgstair. Also seems like you're missing packages from the win32 release since it throws different errors than running from the source.
I got the same error as MrFun. Too bad, it looked neat.
Bit annoying that I couldn't fully play it as I only have a track pad with a single button but looked reasonable
exe no workie
