You are a salvage robot. You have been sent by your corporate overlords to the mysterious Dust Nebula in search of salvage. Unfortunately, it looks like all the salvage is tied up in rival salvage bots. Easily fixed...

The goal of this game is to destroy other salvage bots and add their pieces to yourself to grow larger. Use the WASD keys or the arrow keys to move, the mouse to aim and left click to fire. The mouse wheel or the 1/2 keys zoom in and out. Fly into loose salvage to install it.

Part types:
Silver.......................Armor
Red/Cyan.....................Weapons
Purple.......................Command center
Yellow.......................Reactor, brighter glow means more power stored
Dark gray with cyan flames...Engine/thruster

Overall I really liked, but here are a few things that kind of stuck out.
I am not sure if I played to far enough into it, but it would have really helped if the enemies scaled. Maybe I didn't play enough and it actually does, but it eventually just became my ship is bigger than yours so I win the chicken fight.

I really liked the aesthetic style though, it was very atmospheric.

What a great idea. I love trying to pilot a heavily wounded ship that doesn't steer straight. Very well done. My only criticism is that it is a bit too hard to attach floating pieces onto your ship. They usually just bounce away.

Very good concept! The ship had the right feel to it, really heavy.
The only downside is that it is hard to attach the loose parts, most of the time I just dragged them with me.
Well done!

Controls are a little slow... and then the game crashed with some DOM error, sorry, the error did not stay up long enough for me to copy it

The ship felt a little weird to control, but overall it was a nice game with a neat mechanic. Good job!

Pretty awesome use of the theme, reminded me a lot of Captain Forever :)

SFX were really good, but the game could have used some background music as well IMO. All in all pretty fun and a cool entry, good luck!

Interesting! I love the way your body is actually built out of the stuff you collect, and that disabling enemies involves shooting out their... well, important bits. The physics are kind of wonky, but it feels like there's a lot of potential here - I'd love to see this idea taken further.

This is awesome, albeit quite hard. I'd like the idea of this driven further

Haha, this is extremely similar to our game!
Crashes quite quickly for me though...
