Down with the Ship! by Yellowscope
You are a captain of a space shuttle only equipped with basic defenses when suddenly you are overwhelmed by a large fleet of space pirates. Your Engines are not functional. It is only a matter of time until you are destroyed. Can you hold them off long enough to save your crew?
Made for Ludem Dare 50 - Extra
I didn't have the time to dedicate a whole weekend to this project. However, I gave myself the same number of hours, just split up throughout the week.

As a whole it was a fun game, and I really appreciate you giving us lore. @gardenovena If you're still here, I think it is now fixed, and worth giving a try :)
I also made a windows build while I was at it. just for fun.
Thank you for letting me know of your issues.
I did however push out another small patch just fixing the Crew Counting bug that was pointed out.

Okay thoughts about the game... music is very fitting and sets the mood. I'd like to see it either longer or switch between a couple of similar tracks. With the current length I find it repeats too often.
The graphics are good and appropriate... adding more ship detail in the future would give more interest. Also for some reason I did not catch on that the objects firing out the bottom were escape pods until later in the game when I had time to look around (in full screen). Not sure if a sound or something would clarify that, or maybe a countdown to the next escape pod.
The ships and missiles scaled well to the different monitor sizes.
As someone else mentioned the enemy patterns are quickly learned... maybe this is a good thing since it is balanced with the slow speed of the turret and the limited number of missiles... and typical games are likely short due to the number of enemy ships and incoming missiles. I'd consider randomizing the entry of the enemy ships a bit though.
Overall... a good game that I enjoyed playing. Would like to see it expanded beyond the game jam and more features added.
