Nice idea with the ship building but don't let the player start without having a ship ;) A little bit of sound would have helped a ton and are easy to do for example with bfxr.
Also if the player looses and a powerup is on screen the powerup is still there when you restart. Not a major issue but I thought I would mention it.
The ship building was a really nice touch, the weapon with spread was a bit overpowered but you die in one shot so works out well. Sweet looking background and some nice particles in there! Cool game!
Great idea! Yeah it took some time to realize that rectangle under SHIPBUILDER is a paint.. Maybe a small hints on the start screen would be great! But good job!
Nice idea-- I really like the idea of building a space ship and flying it, although it would have been nice if there were some gameplay effects involved with how you draw the ship (maybe limiting the colors and using the proportions to affect speed, fire rate, etc?).
I didn't see the theme, but I also consider the theme optional :) Nice work!
Having the player build a ship is not a bad idea, although it would have been improved by a) having the ship somehow effect gameplay and b) allowing the player to upload an image / use one through a URL, so that it would be possible to jump right in with an arbitrary image as the ship.
Aside from that, gameplay is pretty straightforward - although it would be nice to be able to take more than one hit, because it can be seriously frustrating.
Minor things: if you die and there is a powerup on screen or next level text (e.g. "Level 3") it will not disappear when you restart.

Nevertheless,this is pretty cool!
Still, I had fun playing it! :)

Otherwise a nice little game!
If one player clicks play is what it happens.
I would do a menu just for creating, and after that enable the play button.
Cool game, but with sould would be so much better.
Good job :)
