LudumData

Framework by Infin8

[raw]
made by Infin8 for LD26 (COMPO)
A ship-building top-down arena shooter.

You are an RGB ship. Assemble components as you see fit and blast your way through a monochrome arena.

The idea isn't the epitome of minimalism, but the attempt at minimalistic art sure did the trick for style!

======================
WASD for strafing
Mouse to aim
Hold Left click to fire

Enter/escape to get past the tutorial screens. Escape will quit the game as well, so watch out.

Cool, I like the idea to customize the ship for the gameplay. The way you did it was very simple and effective. I wish just a full screen mode. Several times I missed because I clicked outside the game area. Other than that, cool game :).

Cool Game, really like the idea and the gameplay, but its a lil bit hard!

Oh and FYI, the Highscores on my game is working, there is a submit score button on the GameOver screen!

Hi tiffi, thanks! So some dudes really scored that high! The submit button seemed to lag for me though, so didnt noe if it worked.

The weapon attachment is a really interesting idea - it'd be cool to see it developed so that you could attach things like moving arms that had slots to attach other weapons.

Really good concept, i think it run a little away from the theme, but whatever, the game is pretty cool man! =D

Good game, but the control was a big issue for me - the ship should move in it's direction (rotation). However, I really enjoyed this game and the idea of customizable weapons is really cool! :)

Nice game, very creative :)

Had a similar idea for a past idea and I have to say I really like your implementation.

It's very nice. Kinda like Tilt to Live. It would be nice to have sound. Overall, great job!

very fun game! I found myself screaming like a little girl way too often.
Only problem I found with it was that there were to many particle effects that made the game laggy at times. You could save some in the enemy trails.
Other than that it was very good! Loved the all the different enemies. The last guys who shot barriers were awesome xD

This has a lot of potential. See the game "Captain Forever", which has similar game mechanics.
The assembly part could be enhanced, I'd say. Some times I would attach a part in the wrong angle, without any way to undo (except for restarting the level).
Difficulty ramps up exponentially! Second level was already impossible.
Frantic shooter music is missing, sadly.
Nice work, all in all.

Nice! Captain Forever is an awesome game. Helps me to think through my UI problems as well. Thanks.
