Nice idea! Love the blocky artstyle :)

motty 2013-08-26 10:32

Unity :(

Works everywhere except Linux :(

gnecro1 2013-08-26 10:39

It is so fun too play i love it :D :D :D

studioarmix 2013-08-26 10:43

The art style and pretty everything in this game is hectic. Awesome job for something created in such a short amount of time. Nice work, please keep it up. :)

nicotuason 2013-08-26 12:52

I love the pixel physics and the fact that useful parts of your ship can get blown off. Great look and feel too!

tacospice 2013-08-26 13:15

Cool!
Awesome art style.
A little slow paced - especially the construction, and it didn't have much noticable effect on my ship.. Or so I thought at least.

ezolotko 2013-08-26 15:26

Great game. The concept, the details, and the transition between 2d and 3d.

joxno 2013-08-26 15:33

Building your own spaceship to destroy other spaceships? All I have to say is, Hell Yes! The degrading aspect is awesome as well.

The only thing that's a bit wonky is the lasers since in order to properly make them go where you want you have to move and shoot.

cwkx 2013-08-26 16:19

Thanks for your comments! I'm glad people are enjoying it :)

Brilliant game. Rather enjoyed it. Seems I got carried away with it actually. After an hour though, it became clear quite quickly that there was no way to lose once I'd got my solid laser ship. Even on my quad core machine, things started to get a bit flaky dealing with all the particles when I fired.

sgehlich 2013-08-26 16:37

I like the idea and the graphics, the controls felt weird though :/

comrad_gremlin 2013-08-26 18:09

Very cool to play :) (although not too close to the theme, that would be my only remark). Other than that, A+. Keep up the good work, man.

zappi 2013-08-26 18:13

That's actually really fun! Turned the whole ship into a laser and it still was fun, great :)

jishenaz 2013-08-26 18:14

The art-style is great, but I think the laser you shoot should disappear once it hits an enemy. The laser just floats around. Otherwise, good game.

khopa 2013-08-26 18:19

It's really great. Very fun and addicting to make the ship evolve :)

infin8 2013-08-26 18:21

Really fun. Terrible strain on my machine though. Esp when i fired mass lasers at a large enemy. The lasers are more like bombs u have to swing at your enemy though, since they start with your ships' momentum

someguy22 2013-08-26 18:22

Fantastic! I loved it all the way through!! :D

eggplant891 2013-08-26 18:23

Nice concept, lacked any real objective however. :(

cwkx 2013-08-26 19:10

Thanks all for your comments - I may fork it to improve the physics, polish it, but will leave this LD48 entry as it is. Was just going for a fun "get in and shoot/build stuff" game :)

jmaggard62 2013-08-26 19:31

Great Idea. It was a lot of fun to play!

recursor 2013-08-26 20:30

Interesting Idea. I like the pixelated art style, but I'm not a fan of the auto-generated music.

necmelt2006 2013-08-26 21:05

Excellent concept, really promising. the mix between Cube World and starship is a good idea ;)

mesene 2013-08-26 21:16

At the moment the most impresive entry I have played :D
Reminds me building spaceships on Kindom hearts or Captain comando. Nice use of cubes :)

kaype 2013-08-27 15:19

I love how it has a sort of Fez-like feel. The 2D to 3D jump is very innovative. All in all 5/5.

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 20:20

THIS...IS...AWEEESOOOME!

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 20:21

THIS...IS...AWEEESOOOME! i think i spent about twenty minutes just farming lasers, it lagged me out but it was worth the epic pwnage xD

heres a thumbs up!

Nice idea! Ship building was pretty swell. Surprisingly fun to rip something off enemy and then put it on yourself.

Is there anything else to do in the game? Just collecting parts for ship can get boring.

raoz 2013-08-28 08:32

Fun game, a bit easy, may be a bit tedious, but all in all I had great fun playing it. 9.5/10 Would recommend.

Spotline 2013-08-29 15:44

Amazing idea ! I would play the whole commercial game and its sequels :D

porglezomp 2013-08-30 13:37

I like this game, although the title is not very fitting. Your physics are no startship physics, so much as tank physics. Good nonetheless!

gvmakesgames 2013-08-30 18:30

Nice, I like the graphics and the idea, but it could have been done better. But it's done in 42 hours!

savethejets1 2013-08-31 05:15

Intresting Idea!

cornedor 2013-08-31 16:43

Nice, had quite a lot of lazers on my ship after some time :)

ratalaika 2013-09-01 17:44

Cool music and sounds. Great work!

mrspeaker 2013-09-02 15:51

Oh man - this could be sooo cool - you gotta keep working on it post-compo!

christinaneofotistou 2013-09-03 19:31

VERY innovative (I know it's like that other game where you scavenge for spaceship parts, and like Flow, but still!)
and great fun!

Top marks

jwolf 2013-09-05 03:46

Wow, this is really, really neat. I'd be interested in seeing what you make of it, if you're considering developing it further.

unitycoder_com 2013-09-07 20:39

Best game here so far.

towanime 2013-09-11 22:23

Love the idea, its kinda like a tower defense game but not at the same time :D

I had a little trouble choosing where to shot and distinguishing some blocks over others but overall I liked it.

canvapps 2013-09-16 23:56

nice retro art work! It's nice to play, the most important thing in a game!
excelent!!

shawnfeatherly 2013-09-27 10:53

Awesome game!

For me the ultimate space ship was a straight line, a single cube high horizontal line. The left half thrusters, the right half lasers. It's easy to evade attacks, easy to collect, only spawns the little guys, and tosses some nasty javelins.
