I love it. I appreciate everything in 1 executable, it makes it simple to run. I also enjoyed the purple and gray border to emulate the PDP-1 console. Very good re-creation of a seminal game from (ancient) history.

"Someone died" made me laugh. Also I'm curious as to why you chose not to use the arrow keys.
The graphics were nice and the game played well. Overall, the game was simple, but fun.
The game is simple, fun to play and is easily understood, but quickly gets boring (you know, it's basically the same every fight - moving and shooting. Idk - maybe I'm missing the point). There's nothing much to say besides that. The game being a Jam entry and not a Compo entry is a little disappointment, because I don't think 72 hours are required for this.
But, besides the criticism, when first played, it is fun! Could be better, but still fun!
@skreeb, I chose not to use the arrow keys to keep with the original Spacewar controls scheme.
Simple game, but fun and it triggered a bunch of Google searches for the PDP-1, so I learned something today too. I'll have to play against the girls at some point.
