Fun⭐⭐⭐
Interesting, took me a second to figure out what was happening. I feel like I needed some more feedback around what my attacks were doing, as it seems like the small ship just didnt do anything but stun?

Theme⭐⭐⭐⭐
Worked in the theme pretty well. I'm inspired to make my own scale-based shooter! Definitely worth exploring the concept.

Style⭐⭐⭐
Good. Nothing too remarkable but it's clean.

Thanks for playing! I had tried making the small ship quick to control with weak attacks that froze enemies to encourage swapping over to another ship. Feedback on the attacks, or a tutorial, is something that I could have improved.

I will say that the name "Shump Looper" has really been stuck in my head for the past few days, for what its worth lol

I like how the gameplay ramps up from being a regular space shooter to now being a huge ship firing giant balls of energy! I like the Atari style feel of the game and sound effects, overall good job!

A very unique system here whereby your attack type and size are intertwined. It adds an interesting risk / reward mechanic, especially when you have to also wrap around the screen to switch between them. Good stuff!
