So adorable, absolutely love your aesthetic :)

Love the artwork, gameplay is pretty fun (although it could use some work). Great job!

This is a neat racing game. I love the art esthetic. The music fits super well. I really appreciate all the little details you put in like little gears fly out when you scrap and the race bar icons at the bottom. Great job with the ship AI. Some things for future expansion: I wasn't quite sure why some items had a white x through them and I wish the ship parts had different pictures to go with their description. Great job!

This game is amazing! I loved watching the robots just meander their way across the level with the wacky music in the background. There is something just so satisfying about that. My only concern is that I couldn't figure out what button to click when I first started the game up, and I accidentally pressed the spacebar, causing me to start a race without upgrades. Beyond that (which could have been user error), this is a fantastic game!

Cool art, the racing was pretty interesting, the competitiveness main it fun. Nice Game :)

Love the concept of having 10 seconds to scavenge and cheering on the AI from the sidelines! Picking the certain types was a small curve but great once I figured it out! Good job on the game and art :video_game:

Artwork is fantastic! Gameplay is also very interesting. Sold all around!

Nice art, nice sound, like the concept and the gameplay progression of the game.

I liked the art style, very fun and wacky :) building your ships was great, I enjoyed tinkering until I started having the only ships that could make it to the end of the run

Oh my god this is my favorite one so far. So fun!!!!! Literally shouting at my screen for my ships to go faster LKJDSFJHJHKJKFDS

Really fun game! I played way longer than I had to just to watch my mighty fleet of two cut down my enemies- I mean win more races. I had equal enjoyment with the scavenging gameplay, tearing my hair out as I tried to get the best of the best for my team (as they deserve). I think I'm gonna return to this one whenever I need a pick-me-up!

This game was really fun and addicting! It's surprisingly entertaining just watching the AI ships bump around. I'm really impressed by the overall polish and the amount of powerup variations!

Ha, awesome :space_invader:

fadrikalexander 2022-10-06 04:25

loved the game, I wish we had more input on the race and not stuck there watching or maybe a way to upgrade the AI

Racing auto-battler for life! <3

This was awesome, what a great spin on simulation management games! The art was awesome! I was a little confused by what to do at the start of the game but got really sucked in after a little while and ended up playing for ages! Could imagine this being a full game, adding in things like piolets with their own funny quirks!

mhorth 2022-10-06 22:20

I went through a mental roller coaster on this one: - These controls don't work very well, I can barely steer. - Oh I don't steer! - These upgrades are too cheap, I can keep just buying them all. - Oh I'm replacing parts, not upgrading them!

In the end I really liked it and am very curious how you pulled of the AI. Sometimes it made silly decisions, but for the most part it was pretty smart. Once I stopped being dumb and realized how the game actually worked, I got really into it, nice job!

bassilij 2022-10-07 09:42

An interesting idea of the game! I really liked it!)

snappypath 2022-10-07 10:37

The art in the game is beautiful, everything is kept in its own style. The concept is interesting too. Good job!

tsunscreen 2022-10-07 15:47

Pretty cool game, really like all the different ships and components!

adriangray 2022-10-08 18:35

Actually pretty exciting game, really like the AI feels like they're doing their best but still loose ) losers )) Art looks good and really like the music! Good job!

itskdog 2022-10-09 01:22

Love the music and art work. It was fun watching them race. Wish there were some sound effects.

eeperdeheap 2022-10-09 07:03

Interesting idea. Pretty nicely executed. Love the art.

triggthediscovery 2022-10-09 07:32

Fun game! The art & music all fit together really well, I liked all the little incidental animations in the UI. I wish it was a little harder, it would have been cool if upgrades rest upon the ship blowing up.

hawkin 2022-10-09 20:46

This was a surprise! Definitely a fun one, I could keep playing and playing, trying to min-max my ships. I liked so many aspects of it ... multiple ships, automated racing, the peaceful scavenging and build screen. The fact that this was just one person -- incredible!

It was a little frustrating when teamshots depleted my shields ... but oh well, part of the challenge ;)

@hawkin Glad you liked our game! It was made by four people though, we just have a team account (I can't even imagine making something this big alone haha).

hawkin 2022-10-10 01:59

@boxedmeatrevolution in that case I take back my rating!

Jk jk, great job to everyone!

akkara 2022-10-11 17:23

Cool game, I like the idea and the visuals. Controlling both spaceships at the same time is tricky but I arrived first and second most of the time. The upgrade part of it is useful at first, but once two ships are at max level on every pieces, it becomes pretty useless. but still, Good job!

dodgergram 2022-10-16 14:29

Control are difficult but the game is pretty fun.

Weelll, my team are not clever guys, ha-ah
