Great Patch by Kobrar
Land on Earth has long been claimed by nations of old. When political order of the world crumbles while ecosystem degrades, some people take to the oceans on great recycling ships in search of a new way of life.
Also a game in need of a Great Patch.
Why did I think I could finish this in 3 days?

That said, great idea, really unique and nice take on the theme!
The game could be rather fun, but the mechanics inside of the game were, unfortunately, a bit lacking. The shipbuilding was nice, but having to choose the turret I want to place each time grew rather annoying after a while. The 'meat' itself was a bit too slow paced too - the ship takes forever to turn, there's no much indication of the range of your weapons, lack of feedback for the player.
This could prove to be a fun game if you worked on it post jam! Congratulations on getting what you had in 3 days still. ;)

I also was shot at from offscreen a lot, and never saw any enemies. My turrets couldn't target them, so mostly I slowly floated around and lost hp. It would be cool for this part to get more attention in the future, adding more enemies, polishing the controls, and adding objectives. :blush:
Could you also provide more specific system information? Which surface pro model? Os? Resolution?
Possible workaround: make sure the project executable is marked as **DPI-aware**; right-click it, then go to **Properties**, choose the **Compatibility** tab then force the display scaling mode to **Application**.
