made by nik184 for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

SporeShield - an addictive physics-based arcade game of deep space survival.

Build a living fortress out of geometric shapes: connect them to create armor, heal, power your defenses, and repel endless waves of enemies.

Enjoy the tactile feel of connecting and experiment with structures in the heat of battle. Each link is a step toward a growing fortress - or total chaos. How long can you survive in this symbiosis of form and strategy?

Solid gameplay loop and an interesting concept. Some basic control instructions or descriptions of what certain things do would be helpful. Adding background sound could also enhance the experience. Good job overall!

I had big doubts for the "addictive game", but it really is ! Really satisfiying game. Having the controls at the start more than at the end could be better.
I died in wave 8, but I was really happy to have my base totally square.

I liked the mood and the graphics!

It wasn't entirely clear how the game was supposed to be played at first -- maybe you could just put a little bit of instructions on this page here? And I had a lot of issues trying to get stuff to connect to my shell. Sometimes it would look like it worked and then if I moved in a different direction it would just fall off.

Is there supposed to be audio? I didn't hear anything from the Linux build...
