Original Compo version requires Xbox controller Left Stick: aim your ship Left Trigger: Throttle Right Bumper: Shoot Right Trigger: Tractor Beam
Post-Compo version is available with keyboard controls if you're interested.
Destroy enemy ships and bring their cargo to the rebels before the Unificator shows up to do battle! You'll control more ships in the boss battle for each planet you make happy. So do your best!
Well done for finishing! :D I remember my first and it is a great feeling of accomplishment. Great work! and don't be too hard on yourself, it looks great.
One negative note, I really dislike respawning enemies. I died because of them. Q_Q
I actually have a 360 controller and was able to play using it! The graphics are cute and the idea of playing delivery person is clever. Who knows what those planets are going to do with the poor pets though.
Good thing I have a whole bunch of controllers, and in this bunch also xbox controller as well. But how many users have keyboard on theirs desktops and laptops - I'd gestimate around 100%. Controller support for PC should be complimentary, not mandatory. Cool game othervice - nice grabbing mechanic, funny pictures. Congratulations. First LD game is a nice experience for you. Keep up good job.
That was great fun! It was a bit weird at the end when I seemed to be controlling 10ish ships all bunched together. Is that number of ships dependent on how many planets you satisfied?
Love the Keyboard version! I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/02vIiZyi3-c
The constant popping of projectiles was annoying. Maybe the mouse control would work better if you would use some other button than the right one on the mouse, because it opened up the context menu.
However its a nice little game. I like the hand drawn style of it.
Great mechanic. The controls (mainly the way the ship moves) and the identification of the supply icons are not easy to master. But the idea of building your fleet for the boss fight is really fun.

@darkshadow: Yes, the number of ships at the end will depend on the number of planets you satisfied.
@Nooner Bear: Yeah, the sound effects were all me. Mostly just making stupid sounds with my mouth.
