Bit Ship

How to play

Overview

Tap down to fire your weapons. Drag to move your ship and avoid enemy attacks. Release to absorb bits of destroyed ships.
Absorbing other ships will restore your shield and energy, but your ship will take on the shape of the ships you absorb - including the strength and number of weapons

Scoring

You get 100 points for blowing up enemy ships, and picking up powerups.
You also get 1 point for every ship bit you absorb.
Bosses are worth 1,000 points.
For maximum points, try to destroy every enemy, and absorb as many of the bits as you can between attacks.
This may make your ship worse if the enemies have weak weapons.

Tips

• Brandon's Pro-Tip: take advantage of lulls between waves of enemies to absorb any ship bits in the area, and restore your health. Avoid absorbing enemies with fewer weapons than you have currently, unless you really need the health.
• Tyrler Says: Fire too often and you will run out of ammunition and need to absorb more, or wait fo rit to replenish on its own. Using an elemental power up will also restore your ammunition.
• Steve's words of wisdom: Trade off between firing and absorbing to keep your shields up, and to make powerups last longer.
• Advice from Blazermax: If you manage to obtain a powerful weapon, change your assimilation rate to 0% so you won't lose it.
