I really like the concept here, had fun trying to find better control schemes. Would be nice if there was some more game play after you have found something that works quite well.

I found wiring up the canon and rotation in a single direction on button down and everything else on off or auto made this quite playable. Neat!

I really think this is one of the smarter LD entries that I've played, despite the (certainly deliberate) cheap gfx and sound. It was a lot of fun trying out the different combinations of 'automation' to get my fish (?) to hold its own against the swarm. I would've loved to see an expansion of the core mechanic, perhaps by introducing different enemy behaviours to force the player to adopt other control combinations. Very clever and a worthy entry.

Interesting game. Fun playing around with the settings to try to optimise your controls, and its cool that you can still optimise the way you play around that. Works with the theme well. Scary as hell when the giant swarm of enemies drops in. Good job!

If your interested in seeing how people play the game: my high score was 40 and my settings were

Neat little game. Finding a control scheme was quite simple, but fun nonetheless.
Pity it has no sound.

This is very interesting, but so far it has not worked so well for me unfortunately :/

Great concept, figuring out the best control scheme through trial and error is good fun.
