This is really cool. There were more attack options than I initially assumed, it was hard to stop playing. My favourite attack was definitely shooting enemies back at each other, but using them as a weapon was a novel thought.
My only gripe was the Slow-Motion bonus, which was more annoying than anything else. I just wanted it to go away so I could keep grappling ships.
Great game!
This game seems to never end!
Since I liked G-Darius, I give this a thumbs-up. Very nice, hope you flesh it out.
I do agree that the slo-mo powerup just seemed pointless.
This is pretty visually slick for a Ludum Dare game! It's pretty fun too.
I think I'd like it a bit more if the ships felt more distinct. Some of the smaller ones (the little one with blue stripes and one of the jetlike ships) both have very similar weapons.
Good job, though! Congratulations on finishing.
Fun game. Mechanics work well.
Nice idea, I like taking ships captive and then using their weapons. However, the one main flaw is that its too easy, for two reasons;
1) you are incredibly tough
2) your shields recharge
These issues could be fixed if the game was maintained post-competition of course.
It would be nice if your shield didnt recharge, and you instead had to collect health; as it is, I managed to play for 10 minutes without dying and stopped because gameplay hadnt changed.
I liked having the choice between a light ship with weak sheilds vs. a bigger, heavier ship which slowed me down.
Only 2 stars for audio since no music; 3 stars for community because you did several blog entries.
What a perfectly literal use of the theme! Good effort here on this one. The graphics are pretty decent and the game is fun. I played on difficulty 1 to get acquainted and then 3 for some challenge. Nice job!
