I like it! Nice style, but is it really allowed to use pre-made / public domain music in a compo entry? Any way, good work on this game! :)

Really fun idea, made me laugh while playing :)

Fun! Old-school crunchy noises are always pleasing.

I liked this a lot. The hijack mechanic is very interesting and made me wonder why there were even normal guns in the game. Would be cool if the different ships had different strengths/weaknesses so there were different reasons to pick them.

@chardish
yeah, I'm thinking about that too, but in the end, what make them different just amount of ammo they hold, if you notice a number in left down corner, that's show how much ammo your ship has

Good and lovely game but I fail to find a connection to the theme.

Nice art style and very fun, and it's always refreshing to see a space shooter with something different. Good work!

Nice art, and nice music. Fun too!

Old School feel. good job

While this doesn't seem to clearly match the theme, grabbing new ships like this is a pretty interesting and fun mechanic, and the gameplay pacing seems good. One thing to note: when I die by reaching the bottom of the screen, at least for me, I am still able to grab new ships, even after the game over message appears. Good job!

a nice little shmup. the ship switching is working good and adds something different to the genre. well done!

The hook is a really nice idea.

michail 2013-12-20 01:14

Really cool and fresh idea. The slowdown also works very well and makes it easier to effectively use the hook. But the connection with the theme seems a bit loose.

glovecat 2013-12-20 11:09

Nice game. The hook makes this space shooter better than the others :D

catonmars 2013-12-20 11:12

Really nice music! I like the grapple design too!.

Nice gameplay. I liked the concept of hooking onto new ships to proceed, but it was hard to figure out how to use the hook. My best score was 5092.

This game is fun to play.
4/5 for fun.
