Graphell by ZomBuster
Had a lot of fun with the theme, hope you enjoy the game too. No sounds sadly, but a lot of explosions.
Written in Java.
--Game Info--
Lost in outer space, no defenses but your trusty mining hook.
Grab enemy ships using the mouse and launch them back at their friends.
Enemy types:
Red dwarfs: tiny red drone ships, spawned by mother drones. Harmless for you but when used right they can be useful.
Plain drones: red-white, and suicidal. Don't get them too close or they will bash your hull apart.
Shooter drones: With a blue core these spit out plasma bolts like crazy.
Shield drones: A blue shield gives these units some extra bit.
Elite drones: blue-white, and out to get you. Can't outrun these babies.
Mother drones: Slow and bulky, these ships spawn red dwarfs all around. Grab one if you need some good old firepower.
Bomb drones: The pulsating ones make big badaboom.
All drone types (except dwarfs) can be combined.
Make crazy combo's to get lot's of points.

- java freezes firefox completely for 10 seconds while loading the game :( (it does that all the time apparently, not just for your game)
- wasd is not okay with an azerty keymap :-
- big input lag
Great minds think alike. :]
I think this could be a really cool game if polished up a bit.
Needs work. I'd like to play a future version of this game.
Obviously it would be nice to some (explosion) sounds and maybe some levels with different enemies... The graphics are simple but have a nice retro look.
Ran very slowly on my Mac, worked just fine on Windows though.
