A downloadable asset pack

Uploading my old LD entries as they're not available anywhere (except the Android play store), I was very happy with this one!



You fly THE CLAW in this shoot 'em up, the slight problem is THE CLAW doesn't have any guns!, that's OK though, you got a CLAW!
Click and hold with the left mouse button to fly around, right click (or press any key on the web version) to launch THE CLAW, capturing a ship will co-opt it's weapons for your own purposes, it'll also serve as a shield should you take any damage to the front. 

Right clicking while holding a ship will consume the ship, adding whatever health it has remaining to yours, and freeing THE CLAW for more CLAWING action.
It's all mouse controlled because it's designed for android touch screens, this is a phone game! I may add joypad/key controls later.
Sadly there's no sound, and no attack patterns, and no starfield and no shaders for engine glow, but it's fun!
written in Java using LibGDX, models created in blender, additional art in Gimp.
Embedded web version has problems with keys so try the link or better yet download the JAR :)
