Description

For those of you that know me from my site, you know this game has been a long-time coming…

Read through the making of process here, where you’ll see things like videos of the characters being drawn and what the game used to look like.

Hope you enjoy it! I know I enjoyed making it!

Summary:
As a “defective” minion ship, you find yourself discarded to a recycling center to be scrapped for parts. Fight your way through wave after wave of enemy ships to get to the three boss’s who sent you away.

Utilize your special ability to transform into enemy ships and use their own attacks against them to get your revenge!

Also, try to find the two upgrades hidden throughout each level to automatically increase things like acceleration, bullet damage, fire-rate, etc…

How to Play

The game allows you to choose between two control schemes, Mouse & Keyboard or Keyboard Only.

Mouse & Keyboard:

  • Accelerate … Up/Down or W/S
  • Rotate ship … Mouse
  • Use weapon … Click
  • Transform … 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • Pause … ESC or P

Keyboard Only:

  • Accelerate … Up/Down or W/S
  • Rotate ship … Left/Right or A/D
  • Use weapon … Space or Z
  • Transform … 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • Pause … ESC or P

Completely and entirely unnecessarily fiddly-arse control scheme. No.

Okay :( (Nah but like I mentioned down below somewhere, the movement should have been tweaked.)

control seem a little touchy for the tight openings you need to get through but ok game 3/5

Yeah, in hindsight, the movement for the ship should have been made a lot easier. After seeing the feedback, that's probably the number one thing that should have been tweaked.

Great game, though endless spawning enemies and endless lives per level make it a little unbalanced. It almost seems enemies spawn faster than you can kill them so it is a more dash to the finish over fight your way through.

Good points. I suppose being that I played this game nonstop during development, I was "good" enough that I was able to completely annihilate any enemy that dare cross my path with ease.

I don't really understand that WASD isn't the movement scheme, and the ship movement has unneeded drift. Could've been a lot better.

The game allows for two different control schemes (technically 3, actually). It allows you to choose when starting a new game and you can switch to a different one in the pause (P) menu. It's mouse to steer and shoot + W/S or Up/Down or keyboard only (either WASD or Arrows + Space to shoot).
