Good learning curve! Maybe too much simplistic, some sort of shield, or more uses for the clank would have been great.

One thing that I wanted to add but couldn't due to time was a 3rd component, like a shield or a turret or something, that you could grab with the claw and upgrade. I do want more uses for the Claw, but none of my ideas really fit with the ShapeShift theme. I think maybe using it to grab asteroids to smack enemies or stealing components off of multiple component shipts, etc.

Nice entry. Really good use of shape shift and the space theme is really cool

This really reminds me of those old Windows 95/98 games. Nice!

Hey - If you could along with your comment post your top score, that would be awesome! Just curious to see how people do :)

Fun game! I really liked the variety of weapons!

I had a lot of fun playing, the claw was the best part. A little barebones but a great entry!

Nicely done. Congratulations on getting your first one in.

Great compo entry!

It is an interesting game but if you can't shoot while you are moving then it is really hard to achieve all the objectives, besides that, with a shot of the enemy you are removed, you should try to add a shield or more life or a defense to the ship.

Davalcordub - It should be possible to move and shoot at the same time. Can you please elaborate on the problem you're seeing? Also, shifting into other ship types can help increase your health, making it a bit easier to survive. Cheers!

I liked the take on the theme

Really enjoyed the claw action. Getting hit is pretty brutal though! Well done :-)

Great game!

Sorry I only read you'd like to know the score after I left the game. I can tell you I was able to finish by my second attempt.

Solid controls and gameplay, everything works as expected.
Nice sfx.

I wasn't able to download the source. When I click the link, I get a dropbox login page.

Kudos

Good mechanism, but the game feel very empty. Maybe some landmarks (like nebulae or planets) will help
