I have never seen anything like it, as a concept, it is really good.
Without sounds, it is quite underwhelming and kind of boring, but the visual effects are smooth and look good. It was a bit annoying that I couldn't choose from which part of my ship will I fire. Maybe if it fired as close to the mouse as possible.

Damn those homming projectiles were hard. Super cool concept though!

I absolutely love it! The ending boss was such a shock to me, very cool. At least I assume it was the ending boss, he's too hard for me right now :S

I love shooters and would massively enjoy something like this took even further :D

I'll say that the beginning is a bit slow, after a death. Or perhaps the curve is too jarring, the sniper field of Flyers was crazy.

Overall: I love it! 5 stars

Pretty innovative game! Difficult, too, seeing as sometimes the ship fails to shoot. Maybe I'll beat that boss sometime...

ghen 2015-12-14 04:50

wow, this quite innovative and fun,i like how you shoot the debris that you taken as part of you
and i doesnt recall any game like it
great job dude!

borodar 2015-12-14 04:54

Amazing concept, innovative and funny game!

merrak 2015-12-14 04:54

Intriguing concept!

fervir 2015-12-14 05:04

got the boss down to like 20 blocks left
pretty neat

Wow this is intense. I was really curious when you posted screenshots on the blog, I didn't expect it to be this cool. Amazing concept.

zarkith 2015-12-14 16:23

Daaaamn that's a brilliant mechanic! :O

I'd love to see more be done with it.

atollett100 2015-12-14 19:58

Really took the theme and ran with it. This is such a good concept! The difficulty curve could use some work

oxysoft 2015-12-14 20:01

Very innovative, could be expanded to something bigger

aranhase 2015-12-14 20:01

Nice use of the theme! Simple but really cool idea! Congratulations :)

madjackmcmad 2015-12-14 20:01

Tumiki Fighters Forever!!! What a great LD game, well done.

yamzho 2015-12-14 20:33

I love the concept and the minimal look of the game ! Only music missing and that would be perfect !

rjhelms 2015-12-15 02:41

Nice job! Really cool take on the theme, and a good visual style.

zaniarm 2015-12-15 07:52

Great game. Loved the concept.

Interesting game concept, the game was quite fun for a while. After the boss appeared I was quite overwhelmed on the shots needed to kill it. (if one block disappears at time)

zebi24 2015-12-15 18:09

Really something new, nice thinking. And perfectly executed.

roseninja 2015-12-16 04:17

like the concept of the game and gameplay. good job

vascof 2015-12-16 23:32

Thanks for all the comments everybody, I really appreciate it.

Since there seems to be interest, I will try to expand on this somehow. I'm undecided between a bigger & better Flash version, or an even bigger & even better Windows/Mac/Linux Steam version. If anyone has a preference let me know :)

To honest, it made me think: "wow, I wish I would think up something like this". I can't recall playing an obvious spiritual successor (the only that comes to mind is Pixelships, and there the mechanics were actually very different).

Seems almost Zen-like. Great submission!

gmatsura 2015-12-17 02:31

I like the mechanic, it was easy to pick up and play. Fun game.

dustyroom 2015-12-17 09:31

Very creative. Add more powerups, increase the speed a bit and you have a great game. Had a pleasure to play.

littlethor 2015-12-17 12:36

Awesome take on the theme!The concept is very interesting and the game looks very polished. I really enjoyed this minimalist art style.
Try to take some time to add music or at least few SFXs next time.
Great job!

simon-parzer 2015-12-17 14:09

Nice concept. Kind of reminds me of cellular automata. Its a bit hard because attaching a block can change your shooting position.

aaants 2015-12-17 14:20

Great concept, really smooth gameplay too. Awesome work.

noradzero 2015-12-17 23:30

Very nice game! Loved the growing of the ship.

lawendt 2015-12-18 00:26

Pretty well done, mister!

eduardo 2015-12-20 13:20

That's fun!

mahalis 2015-12-25 05:32

Great entry. Incredibly simple concept, extremely well executed. Nice subtle difficulty ramp too. Well done!
