These are somewhat rebindable using controls.txt. You can also go to audio.txt to tweak audio volumes.
----------- Platforms
This uses Monogame, so it should run in Windows, some OS/X, and Linux. (Although there seems to be an issue with high-DPI displays on OS/X that causes mouse input to be wrong, making the game unplayable.)
On OS/X and Linux, you need a recent version of Mono to play the game! In a terminal, "cd" to the directory and run "mono LD35.exe". I haven't had test machines handy, so no guarantee it'll work.
The savegames go in your application data folder, so wherever "Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData" leads. On windows, for example, this could be "C:\Users\31\AppData\Roaming\LD35-Scrapshaper\save.json".
If it crashes (there are a few things that I didn't get a chance to track down) don't worry too much: your amount of scrap is always saved as soon as you pick it up, and you will start from the last hut you visited.

I spent most of my time struggling to implement things in Monogame plus a library I've been working on. There should be a full, playable game here, though.
The sparse sound effects are because there's no sound in space--all you can hear are impacts and engine noise. (Or, at least, that's my excuse!)
Hey, I enjoyed it! It's one of the more complete games I've played, and it has some neat stuff! I didn't immediately recognize what the huts were, but I'm glad I could use my dead enemies to restore my armor. It's a bit simple, but I enjoyed the combat--the enemies get pretty aggressive when there are squads of them camping out for you. I wish I could shoot a little faster, but it was neat! I liked the sound effects, though the mixing/leveling between them all is a bit off. Really nice work!
Cool! I like how you can bounce your bullets off of walls, you can do some cool trick shots :D I would've liked some more upgrades, some possible ones: fire rate, shoot more bullets at once, more bounces off walls, more speed, maybe even seeking bullets. The boss could've been a bit harder. Anyway, I liked it, good job :D
Cool stuff. This looks like a good candidate for a post-compo game. I did notice going back to a previous hut and then going forward again triggers the same enemies again.
I like the graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/ly5GDw3HErI
I am victorious! This was a fun game, I want to make one just like it.
There should be a small hit noise when the player hits an enemy though, or at least when an enemy dies. Otherwise I can't tell if I'm on target or not.
Feature-wise it was pretty well polished. It worked smoothly on both Windows and Linux (with the basic Mono and OpenAL package installed). The auto-saving function and zoom by mouse wheel was pretty convenient too.

The crashes are okay for a jam game, really (I only experienced them when dying). My only nitpick would be the lack of screenshake and particles!

My issues are there was no real penalty to dying, and only one upgrade.
Got a cool post-apocalyptic russian vibe somehow :D Nice shooter - some extra effects & enemies would be nice to spruce it up a bit.
Thanks for the comments, everyone, by the way. Really good to get feedback!
