My second PICO-8 game, made possible by the heroic LazyDevs tutorials. I can only dream to become as lazy!

I had an idea for a shooting game where you could take over enemy ships and ram them into each other. It's not perfectly polished, but I think it gets the point across for now!

Please enjoy it.

And let me know if there are any bugs! I just updated my PICO-8, so there may be some bugs here and there.

It took me a bit to get used to the control but once I figured out a strategy it kept me coming back for more! It has the feel of an arcade game at a 90s pizza shop where you can't help but keep putting in a quarter for one more chance!

I dunno, it looks and sounds really good, but perhaps I just don't get it. You die way to quickly. How are you supposed to enter a ship when you only need 4 hits to die? Or perhaps I just suck.

Nope, sorry, I like it, but it's too difficult for me. Combination of the slow controls and quick death. But I have to admit, it's probably about figuring out the pattern of the enemies, but it takes too much time for me to do it all over again when I die.

It is really difficult, isn't it? Thank you for playing my game even though it was tough!
