Congrats for your first jam! This is a cool idea for the theme, and the separation mechanic is a great implementation of risk & reward. The look and feel is very cohesive, it's fast-paced and very responsive. Great job!

It was so fun to play. I like how spliting-up affects the player's speed and points. And the minimalistic graphics looks cool. Great job!

Get Some GasolineVery pretty, very smooth, very well made. Well done!
To improve the game I'd make the splitting more meaningful. As it stands the splitting is just an invincibility mechanic! :P
How did you make it all look so clean and polished?
Check out my entry if you want something more puzzle and less action oriented :)

HomebaseGreat concept. Slightly mind bending, or mind-expanding, and that's really cool. You know what would be awesome? an ability to align your copies, so you can use them as a big one-direction great-ship, imagine how many cool strategies that introduces! Or your copies could be like an automated wingmen, which have their own ai. That's inspiring. Probably in one of my planned games I am going to use that splitting/ aligning/or automated ship mechanic, it really has some creative potential. I wonder if different kind of steering could be better, absolute controls, or mouse controls...just wondering... Oh and graphics and style is very cool as well.

QBotsNice game idea. I just split many parts and destroy the enemy first and and slowly get the scores.

Separate MatterReally innovative and nostalgic game :) Kinda difficult because the ship (is that a ship?) moves pretty fast, but when I got used to it, it becomes really fun. Keep up the good work!

Black Orb on Ladderit took me a moment to realize what I was controlling on screen but its a fun game! It's got quite a steep learning curve when you start separating/doubling up your ship BUT thats where the real fun is too. And I like the whole pro/cons of "double the lives, half the points" concept in general.

BOOTY TOSSVery fun mechanic that is a great use of the theme! Risk vs reward on when to split up and its fun to control multiple on the screen at once
