About This Game Scribble Ships is a 2D Arcade shooter with personality. Survive the onslaught of colorless enemies using one of the five playable ships, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. But wait, lets not draw the line there. Don't feel like being restricted? Then go ahead and draw your very own ship using the in-game custom ship maker. The game features eight types of enemies and five challenging bosses. How long will you survive? Don't be a pen pusher, climb the global leaderboards! Did a friend beat your score? Back to the drawing board! This is our very first game, so if you find any bugs, please report them to us, and we will pencil them in. 7aa9394dea Title: Scribble ShipsGenre: ActionDeveloper:Slothzilla GamesPublisher:(none)Release Date: 29 Mar, 2017 Scribble Ships Activation Code [pack] Charming, colorful, fun to kill some time with.Easy to move up the ranks even if you suck at it, like I seem to, because I have the worst coordination ever. lol (Bless The Hake!)Would definitely reccomend this.8\/10--------------Suggestions to creators to make this game even better:- Add a (ctrl+z) undo feature when making custom ships, because missing by a pixel when you've been trying to draw a cool thing for 10 minutes and then having the entire thing get washed out in the wrong color is a huge letdown.- Allow more precise drawing with smaller brushes.- A gallery of custom ships you can trade with other players.- When we reach certain scores or find "rare drops" from kills, let us collect them to pump up custom ships, so they don't all end up the same stats.- Or at the very least, give us some of this customization stuff as a modest DLC. lol. When I first tried this game out, it was completely unplayable because it kept crashing at certain bosses. But my refund didn't go through and the game was fun enough to try again when I saw there was an update. I'm glad I gave it another shot! It's a lot slower-paced than other shoot-'em-ups but still pretty exciting because of the way every shot counts. The bosses that show up every once in a while are also fun and unique for this type of game. It's really a nice change of pace from similar shooters.A few flaws in no particular order though:1. The create-a-ship thing doesn't let you choose your ship's build. It's always a light-weight fast ship that dies in one hit. This is especially important to note because it means the game's main selling point is kind of misleading. 2. It's okay to have a ship that's slower than the other ships for balance, but the Hake is so incredibly slow that certain bosses are basically impossible unless you luck out and pick up enough movement speed boosts that you can take them down. This is compounded by the fact that additional firepower upgrades aren't actually that great on the Hake past level 3; it just gives you a weird spread-shot that's oddly useless in this game.3. When the Leviathan shows up the game slows down to the point of basically stopping completely, for a moment. This has also happened for me against late-game bosses, probably thanks to the number of other enemies around at the same time.4. The game may not crash during play anymore, but it does sometimes crash in the little doodle program where you draw your own ship.5. There's no sound when a power-up appears, and you can sometimes kill off-screen enemies, meaning that essential upgrades can disappear before you even know they ever existed.6. Homing missiles sometimes pass right through enemies.Overall it's a nice little score-chaser, and none of that ruins the game for me so I'll go ahead and give it the thumbs up... But, buyer beware.. So much fun! Easy to pick up, yet challenging. Highly addictive!. I hoped this product would be better than it was. The gameplay is very odd, it starts mind numbingly slow and then becomes very fast paced. The difficulty seems to lie in a manic flurry of enemies and random movements rather than strategy. When I succeeded it felt like luck not accomplishment. Within 15 minutes I had a top 17 in the world score.The game drops you in without any explanation. You get points for killing enemies (I think?) but you can also pick up colored orbs for extra points. There are a handful of powerups but I was again unsure what they did. One with 3 colored balls made me shoot more but was time limited? A shield which lets me take an extra hit and lasts until damaged. Rocket which turns your bullets into rockets, and maybe there was another one? At the top of the screen there is a bar that you fill and as you do your weapon seemingly increases power but its so obtuse I hardly noticed anything happening until I looked for it. You also have a "boost" which powers you through enemies. I seems like the type of attack that would work well for the slower stat ships. I'm not sure why each ship doesnt have a different special power.For no reason what so ever you can draw your own ship. Neat. But you can't customize your ship in any way other than appearance. You have a set of stats for each ship but they are locked even for a custom ship. As one of the other reviews said this feels like a college project. Its seemingly well made (except for not having Steam Overlay and crashing every time I tried to exit.) I just found it lacking any depth and fun. As a proof of concept or an alpha this product is solid enough to show investors and devs to continue work. As a finished game it feels hollow and 1 dimensional.. As of this review, I've spent a little over 10 hours on this, which makes it my #4 most played Steam game. The main reason for that is the simplicity of the controls. It did take me a little bit to get used to, but after a few play throughs (and realizing that different ships had different abilities, like the number of hits the ship can take) it made sense.This is very similar to the old Asteroids game, except with a lot more color, abilities, and enemy types. So if you liked Asteroids, I'd imagine you'd enjoy this one too. While writing this review, I see the game is on sale for less than $1, making this the perfect time to give it a try!. Let's face it, the reason you buy this is to draw willy ships and kill people.
