About
"Blockships" is a local multi-player shooter game for up to 2 players, described as the "illegitimate love child of Space Invaders and Tetris." Players build and customize their ships on-the-go using blocks dropped by defeated enemies, and can choose from various weapons, engines, and power cells to create a unique and strategic configuration. The goal is to protect your ship's core while blasting your opponents and scavenging for supplies to build a bigger and badder vessel. The game emphasizes rapid reconfiguration and experimentation to overcome enemies and emerge victorious in battle.
