This is my attempt for LD28. It was meant to be in the comp but I ran overtime, so its now entered into the Jam.

Premise:
Your ship narrowly escapes the destruction of your planet. The last survivors of your race are hastily packed onto the only available ship. It is now your task to survive.

Protect your ship from aliens. Replenish your survivors health from food dropped by aliens. Build new ships from resources gathered from asteroids.

Controls:
WSAD or Arrow keys - Thrusters
Mouse - Movement direction
Mouse Left button - Shoot

Tech:
Unity 4.3
Photoshop

Everything was made by me, Ryan Mazzolini :)

Awesome game. Orientation is a bit hard sometimes, so mostly you'll just fly forwards.

So damn hard! Maybe tweak the balance a bit? Was very hard to avoid shots, I just wasn't fast enough. Cool idea though.

Very strange control scheme.

Weird control scheme!
I think you should also rebalance the game... it's too hard! :)

Impossible until I figured out I had to get metal and make new ships, then still really hard but I started to get it.

After getting used to strafing to evade the shots, I've managed to survive for more than a few seconds. But I got surrounded after a while eventually :]
Nicely done controls and concept, I had fun!

Nice game! Cool graphics, pretty solid mechanics, and good gameplay! I had pretty bad performance issues in online version, but once I downloaded it, it was fine! I feel like the controls could use some work as it took a long time to get used to how to move. Would have liked some sounds! Solid concept, cool take on the theme! Very well executed.

Nice shooter. I found that it controlled better if I just used the mouse to steer and the W key to move forward. It is really punishing once you get more than a few enemy ships shooting at you.
