I like it. The theme mechanic was neat, although as others mentioned, definitely needs clearer indication that it's happening. My one other complaint was that when you hit an enemy that can take more hits (I think?) it feels and looks like your shots are disappearing just before hitting them. Some kind of indication that they're getting hit, or how much health they have left, would help a lot.
This was extremely fun. The art-style is very charming, and the bopping your ship around with the hammer mechanic was clever. The question of how the player wants to grow the ship adds an interesting layer of strategy. It could do with movement instructions, though. It took me a few tries to figure out you had to use WASD to move around on the ship (I'd tried arrow keys and then spent a couple times trying to figure out if there was a different button to hit the left side).
This was fun! It would benefit from instructions or a controls menu, though. I still am not quite sure whether I just failed to figure out how to manually attack or if there's only the projectiles and the dash.
I do like running past enemies while my passive damage abilities destroy them, though! Good job catering to this fantasy that's so poorly supported in most games. :)
