Captain Spacebeard in: The Centauri Run

Finished in time for the compo: Captain Spacebeard (play here)

It’s a vertical-scrolling space shooter, but with the option of nonviolence — you can only pick one ship out of your collection, and only one has weapons. But the others have their own useful abilities – use debris as a mobile shield with a tractor beam, or shove everything out of your way with a repulsor beam-equipped ship. Which will you pick?

I’ll write a proper postmortem later on.
