I do want more uses for the Claw, but none of my ideas really fit with the ShapeShift theme.  I think maybe using it to grab asteroids to smack enemies or stealing components off of multiple component shipts, etc."},{"author_name":"marmpa","author_uid":"56456","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 10:24pm","epoch":1461363540,"text":"Nice entry.

Can you please elaborate on the problem you're seeing?  Also, shifting into other ship types can help increase your health, making it a bit easier to survive.

Simple WASD movement and aiming with the mouse.  You can grab disabled enemies or their guns with your Claw (right click) and shapeshift.  Some types of enemies have more health, so you can shapeshift into them to get the increased health.  Or shift your gun into theirs.  Simple scoring mechanic with a little summary when you die or when you win.  My first attempt, but not bad for 48 hours (minus the time I wasted on my first idea).","title":"King Of The Claw"}
