Sweet graphics and camera work, good challenge, a custom font would've been cool to complete the mood.

The music is perfect to calm the nerves after 500 doors rammed :D

40 well trained rams later... great game! Controls are very smooth, which is essential for a game like this.

Really nice look. Ramming though a corridor of firing turrets is quite satisfying.

I like the game. It gets really hard really fast though XD.

(to be fair, I'm not very good at reaction or timing -based games)

I want to buy DLC with ability to ram everything on my way. Because I giveup on second level. Sorry. After losing all my nerves on making my own game, I've nothing to keep patience in other games.

This is great. I love the camera panning at the beginning, and the controls are perfect. Lots of fun, music was great, and the level design was really well done.

But I need to admit, that graphic, music and game mechanics on high level.

Music and sound effects cracked me up. Very nicely done. Love the high tech (ha) maps with X marks the spot. Ok I need to go make another run at that level...

Wow. Best one so far. Or at least the most polished one. Only one I have rated 5 stars!

Very cool game. I liked the graphics especially. The crude thruster sound does not fit well with the nice music. The Level design is the greatest weakness. The first level is already far too hard. Overall really well made.

I love the pun in the title! Really great game, controls well, looks good and has a nice tune in the background. After the first two levels it starts to get really challenging. Overall really fantastic!

I have killed many many rams, and I am only on the second level. Really well made game

Great game. My mouse skills kind of suck tho. Would be cool if you allowed for WASD or a gamepad analog stick instead of the mouse.

Good stuff, the gameplay was addictive and simple. This was the first game I've been playing for a longer time!

Ship controls nicely, and is fun to fly around.
Third level first door though... claimed too many rams =)

Fun but pretty tricky! Since a lot of the doors close at different rates it might be nice to have some kind of anticipation so the player knows when it's opening / closing. The music and art seemed very fitting. Great work!

I really liked the graphics. The way the player is maneuvered works quite well as well. Nice work!

The ram fighter pilots are hilarious and I found myself unintentionally echoing their cry of "aaaahh" when I would crash into something. The music is nice and light and the graphics are lovely.

Great game! I failed @ level 1 about 5 times and made may way through the other levels at first try :D. Super cool stuff here!

Did you manual put together the levels? Good job!

I really enjoyed this game. Really liked the hand drawn graphics and music, added a lovely homemade feel. The game play was fun as well, really solid game mechanic. Good work!

Only 56 rams! Nice level design.

24 well trained rams later...

Really slick graphics and camera work -- overall just great production value for a compo entry!

If you could figure out a good control scheme for mobile, these games are really popular right now (see Mr Jump)

Freaking hysterical! Looks nice too, awesome!

Fun! I'd say it was worth 87 well trained rams. Those turrents on the outside of the Death Moon weren't very nice, though...
