Run contraband through a dangerous asteroid field as the infamous Captain Spacebeard! Although you have amassed a collection of numerous stolen spaceships over your years as a pirate, you don't have anybody but yourself to fly them. Choose between the fighter with the laser gun, a utility ship with a tractor beam, or that one with a repulsor field, and smuggle some contraband!
- Vertical scrolling shoot-em-up with the option of nonviolence (use debris as a shield and sneak past the enemies) - Three ships to pick from, each with one unique ability - Multiple paths to level completion
Controls: WASD or arrows to move Space to use your ship's ability
Neat game. i like the theme a lot - space pirates! it was difficult to figure out what to do with the movable asteroids. i thought i could move them (tractor beam?) or shoot them into place. the nonviolent option is really interesting and worth exploring
Awesome game. But I really didn't understand where the theme "you only get one" came in. Would have liked to see a lot more of that.
Other then that the graphics were awesomely retro. Gameplay with the non violent options (using the tractor beam to hold the asteroid in as a shield and steer it) was something I haven't seen before. Great idea.
Felt like far too often i was shooting at enemies i couldn't see yet to prevent them shooting at me. Some music would have really helped. Weapon (or non-weapon) differences helped keep it fresh but it was still not particularly replayable imo.
nice! i really wanted to make a game like this. reminds me of overkill and tyrian. i really liked the different ships the idea of moving astroids is great. it was too hard for me - it restarted me on the second level after i took one hit, and i couldn't avoid taking one hit (because i'm old and slow) but nicely done.
I love the hand-drawn look of the rocks and debris, the starry background has a nice look to it as well. I think this game could be better if it was a little faster paced, and the explosions weren't so loud.
Liked the ship gfx and the minimal layouts that made you have to use patience and tactics to get around the off screen bad guys. Nice work, the huge ships that just poured laser death were evil. :p

You Only Get One ability/weapon on your ship - seemed to me like that fit the theme pretty well.
