I really loved the merging mechanic! It was pretty fun just seeing how big and crazy looking I could get. I only wish the shooting was just a tad faster. Awesome work!

I got so big that my browser couldn't even handle it anymore, this was a lot of fun :)

I'd suggest re-centering the polygon when you merge, this way it would avoid rotating the whole body if you started on one side.

I like the pixel style of this game, the controls are fine. I feel like the shooting could be a bit faster but it was fun to merge and have the biggest "ship" ! :D

It's fun to see the shapes of other players! As JSTR mentioned, the game can get pretty laggy when colliding with enemies in the late game. But it's not a big issue, good stuff !
