I'm a bit confused about the exact rules but it's fun and gets chaotic (in a good way) real fast.

Thank you!

Fun concept and I liked the humor! I think a short guided walkthrough would work better than showing the full help and parts list at the beginning, since I was a little confused about how to actually fire the laser. One of my parts also disappeared during my run, so I may have hit a bug, but the idea itself was really entertaining.

great concept but the tutorial text even after completing tutorial was maybe blocking some button.

Really fun, I love the different reasons. Felt like Darth Vader blowing up Alderaan lol.

it was quite fun, tho it is a bit confusing what the supporting blocks do, that part could be explained better

This is quite cool! I love the laser-building (makes me think a bit of the 'Galaxy Trucker' boardgame)!

I was getting a bit frustrated with not getting the parts I needed when recycling, might be a good idea to tweak the RNG a bit depending on the parts already connected, but overall a very cool game!

That was really fun! I took a little to understand how the connections on the different parts worked and how everything lined up together, but once I got it, it was super satisfying to try and figure out how to build up a super gigantic ship that maintains between the blasts too.

Really nice game! Would love to see a version where you have to manage your resources instead of time, but, alas, with the theme of the jam that will have to wait for the future... Good work!

Lovely game! Super clean visuals, especially love the background planet, Countdown theme fits well enough, and overall the game just feels smooth to play! The only thing is that something it felt more like a gambling simulator but regardless it still feels like an actual full complete game, Great job!
