Being able to build the ship is a really nice idea ! Too bad there is no sound...

That's a really cool lookin' ship you have there! Cheerz!

It took a while for me to realize that I can build my own ship...You should make a default ship for the player!
Nevertheless,this is pretty cool!

Loved the ship building mechanics, and the game play was fun and challenging. Awesome game!

It's a nice idea to have the user build his own ship, and the game works. But besides that one cool feature there is not really something new about...

Still, I had fun playing it! :)

Nice idea with the ship building but don't let the player start without having a ship ;)
A little bit of sound would have helped a ton and are easy to do for example with bfxr.

Also if the player looses and a powerup is on screen the powerup is still there when you restart. Not a major issue but I thought I would mention it.

Otherwise a nice little game!

The ship building was a really nice touch, the weapon with spread was a bit overpowered but you die in one shot so works out well. Sweet looking background and some nice particles in there! Cool game!

I thought my ship was invisible at first; didn't realize how the building goes. Neat idea to add in some creativity to an otherwise ancient game.

weird game but cool.

As @deathray said, I thought there was a bug or something xD.
If one player clicks play is what it happens.

I would do a menu just for creating, and after that enable the play button.

Cool game, but with sould would be so much better.

Good job :)

I liked the game, it seems pretty completed, and I liked feature that your can draw the ship. But where is the theme in this game? :)

Great idea! Yeah it took some time to realize that rectangle under SHIPBUILDER is a paint.. Maybe a small hints on the start screen would be great! But good job!

totally wasn't expecting a color picker, fly a ship thing... mechanics were fun

Nice idea-- I really like the idea of building a space ship and flying it, although it would have been nice if there were some gameplay effects involved with how you draw the ship (maybe limiting the colors and using the proportions to affect speed, fire rate, etc?).

I didn't see the theme, but I also consider the theme optional :) Nice work!

Having the player build a ship is not a bad idea, although it would have been improved by a) having the ship somehow effect gameplay and b) allowing the player to upload an image / use one through a URL, so that it would be possible to jump right in with an arbitrary image as the ship.

Aside from that, gameplay is pretty straightforward - although it would be nice to be able to take more than one hit, because it can be seriously frustrating.

Minor things: if you die and there is a powerup on screen or next level text (e.g. "Level 3") it will not disappear when you restart.
