Seam of the Vultures by ohsqueezy
Like in Qix, capture the screen without touching enemies.
* Windows: unzip and run the OPEN-GAME exe
* Source: if you have Pygame, run OPEN-GAME
----------------------------
Use spacebar to mark territory. Hold spacebar to expand the territory beam. If you die without lasting 99 seconds, your score drops to zero, so avoid the triangles! If you last the whole round, the amount you captured gets recorded on the high scores list.
----------------------------
This started out as a story about helping a skeleton find its organs, and it wasn't going to be on one screen. I started thinking about Qix, Jezzball and games where you reveal pictures, and I realized using one screen is already the conventional style for this kind of game.
BUGS/THINGS I WANT TO CHANGE:
- checkered background is ugly
- ships should be invincible after getting hit
- extra hearts should be available
- ships sometimes get ambushed at start
- pressing buttons repeatedly after ending causes bugs

At first, I was confused about what counts as a hit and where were my life points, but, after some trial and error, I got it.
Also, the gameplay would fit two players perfectly well. Good job!
