BOOM BOAT by bryantdrewjones
You are a boat. Blow up other boats. But don't crash into other boats.
Use the arrow keys to move, or the triggers on a game pad.
Hold both arrow keys/triggers down to explode.
Explode near other boats to start chain reactions.
Crashing into another boat or exploding costs a heart. Make long chain reactions to get more hearts.

Good job
Well done!
(hello d'indiemag^^)
Well done!
The control scheme primarily was a substantial bugbear. After I finished turning, there'd be about a second during which I couldn't turn again, which made the controls feel really stiff and unpleasant.
Also, it would've been nice to have a bit more visual feedback on the explosion radius of various ships. Add a shockwave graphic to show how far they reach, maybe.
