Galactic Garbage Gladiator

This game was made for ScoreSpace Jam #20, with the theme of "Absorb." We weren't able to get started until a bit late in the jam, but we still think we came up with something fun - hope you enjoy!

Pick up space trash and absorb it into your barrier, upping your defense and effective amo count. Defeat enemies by shooting them with your collected trash or by knocking asteroids into them!

High scores can get submitted to the LootLocker leaderboard at the end, so do your best and show off your top scores!

Controls:

• Move with mouse - player space ship will auto-move to your cursor position
• Absorb trash into your barrier with LMB
• Fire absorbed trash out of your barrier with 'SPACE'
• Destroy enemy ships with trash-shots or by knocking asteroids into them!
