Good news, everyone!  Yet another space junkie joins the intergalactic derby.
We gave you some basic parts from scrap yard, you'll build a spaceship from that and show us fascinating battles with other artificial contenders. Sounds good, yes? You'll start weak and broke like this:



And after each battle you'll get some extra parts from defeated contenders. Put them wherever you like, hell, you can even throw them away, just make sure you're building the most destructive and menacing ship there is! Just look at what I'm flying around destroying other junkies:

Here's a few basic tips for you:

  • You can move around parts outside of the battle however you like. They don't even have to be connected, but that'll look weird.
  • Ship can shoot and ram directly into enemy, balance your build around maximising single damage output or go for balancing different parts.
  • All parts have stats, mouse over particular one to see it's numbers and cool description in the box in the left corner.
  • Individual part stats are summed up when calculating a ship's total stats, no fancy formulas here;
  • Share cool builds in the comments!

Made for Bored Pixels Jam 9 by Vivid Turtle and maxwaeper
We fixed a couple of things post-jam to add more variety and replayability:
- Instead of getting random parts players can salvage 1-2 parts from defeated ships
- Tweaked part stats to make early game faster
- Improved late game enemy scaling - now the ships gradually include more and more 'super' parts up to level 50. Past that there's no content - if you get there - congrats, you beat the game
- Changed background color to black and made main menu a bit prettier

I like the concept, but it looks like the game is missing a few essential features. Please add a grappling hook and ship romances to make this project a one-time masterpiece.
