Alternate title: How I learned to stop worrying and embrace space piracy. I completely missed the option to switch to hull mode on the first playthrough, and while it was completely do-able I was only just barely breaking even. Second playthrough I found the space piracy button and discovered the perks of sending a flaming hunk of my own ship at my enemies, and suddenly I was making bank. Needless to say, I eventually blew myself up alongside my vast wealth.
Great use of the limitation! It was a refreshing take on the space side-scrolling shooter style of games. The graphics and sprites were very well done, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice main menu in a Jam game! I did have some bad luck getting some repeated enemy patterns in my first run, and I would've liked a smoother transition between the Main menu and the game, but that's just nitpicking.
Overall it's a well crafted game, and I had a fun time playing it. Good work!
