they honestly didn't stand a chance with me at the helm

Love the variety of ships to choose from, was really fun trying to come up with strategies to take out the enemy ship. Could see this expanded into a full fledged game.

i like the big one

Really creative! Love the concept. I felt like doing a single line was more efficient since the player wouldn't move as much and therefore easier to hit :)

Cool idea, nice art style but I think it lacks a bit of flare and purpose, I'm a bit confused on whose side am I playing, am I supposed to make the enemies win or the player :P

Hey. I liked the idea. Great concept, presentation and if you develop it you can have a great game.

I played on stream

Nice bit of fun, ship E seemed to be the best!

The heavy enemy spaceship was MVP for me :D

It would be really cool to see a version of this game where you could place your ships in real time!

I can also imagine this working as a zachtronics style game where you could optimize different factors: cost, speed, number of ships, etc.

I really like the idea, and the more I played the game, the more strategies I ended up coming up with. Also, the game's look and feel is very coherent with 8-bit vibe. Nice work!

I enjoyed trying to come up with clever or minimal ways to win; I like the core idea here a lot. The first time I accidentally left the game unpaused and got tons of points before I switched back to to the tab, without realizing.

Nice! I'm normally not too fond of strategic games, but it was satisfying to protect the heavy-hitting ships using smaller, more disposable ships in the front. Ultimately, it lead to an economic victory, albeit a little morally questionable one at that. Guess that's a space war for ya!

I don't find a reason to just not spam the big ship on the player direction
