Ranked from 6 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your submission match the theme?
- Boosting your ship also fires your weapon;

- Your Ship's boost charge also acts as a 1-hit shield against other bullets (getting depleted in the process);

- Shooting the Bases' Weak Spots damages the Base and gives the player an extra 3 boost charge.

- Destroying a Base replenishes the player's charge at the same time.

Great stuff!  Reminds me of this old game by Namco called Bosconian Star Destroyer!  I like the floaty feel of the ship and the way you can only fire from behind so you have to orbit the base, turn, then fire.  I just wish the charges regenerated faster and the gravity fields weren't so strong.  Other than that good game!

Thank you very much! :D

I'll be sure to adjust the gravity and the boost regen as you suggested after the jam is over.

I play it on my phone, works really well. Tight controls. Haas potential to be a great game, adding power-ups, more base designs, and a bit of juice. Congrats.

Glad you liked it!

Yea, I focused a lot on making it feel good and realized a bit to late that there wasn't enough content... (oops =D) I then tried to make the bases spawn in different locations, but as it was late at night it sort of fell apart and I decided to upload it as it is.

After the jam is over I'll be sure to add more content to the game.

Easy to understand. Hard to master. :-)
