Interesting mechanic rotating the ships, though it was kinda tough for me to switch to the shield guy to use it in time to help out a whole lot. Works fine on my Windows 7 machine btw

I won! The mechanic is just the right kind of unusual, but the control scheme is too unusual! My little finger does not want to play games, garrrrrgh.
This was weird but it was good x3
Oh man installing Pygame on Windows is such a pain. All I have currently is Pyglet. Please make a ready to run executable if you can.
Needs a windows executable, rather than making everyone download pygame.
could not run... I guess I don't have pygame..? not sure
It difficult and confusing, but I somehow won.
I like the concept of having the specialized ships rotate out though.
Kind of cool having different ships to switch on-the-fly. Even though it kind of goes against the "you only get one" theme. Controls are definitely odd, but I still managed to win the game, but I only used the starting ship.
I have python 3.3 and pygame installed but couldn't get it to work. Is this written in python 2?
I wanted to try this but I can't seem to install pygame on OS X.
Since I do not have Python installed I cannot play. Shame. :(
pwnedu46, Ok it works in python3 now (a couple of one liners, I think it counts as porting)
Nice little game, interesting mechanic. A bit too easy, won on my first try. Graphics could definitely use quite a bit of work.
Remember sound is always a bonus, even if it's just a few sound effects.
Good luck and keep at it!
A bit short and confusing, it's hard to immerse in the game without music. =/
Don't understood how to kill the fat mobs, but the fact you've got several specialized ships is pretty cool. =)
Not playable on a mac.
I actually developed in on a Mac, so it is playable, you just need to install pygame. Frankly, I've never managed to get py2exe or pyinstaller to work on a Mac and I'm not madly inclined to have another go. If you really want to play it, install pygame. If you don't, I can live with it.
Little weird but I like it! :)
Funny little shmup, but not sure to understand why i had win Oo
Interesting game, but the controls were, honestly, very difficult to grab... and then there was the mysterious "I won?" Not sure how that happened. :P
Challenging. Default controls made it difficult, though interesting.
Decent game. Man... the controls were awful. In the end I just used the shield ship to block everything by tapping space repeatedly and won.
Rotating between weapons is an interesting idea. It takes time to get used to the controls. Maybe a control where you immediately switch between the 3 weapons would be better. Before I knew it, it said "you won".
Well, all you promised was an awful shmup so I'm not disappointed :P
It's not so awful, switching weapons happened too slowly to be more than a gimmick though. Also, I'm against button mashing. I'm not against inexplicably winning though (Was I the alien horde all along?)
