Indie Games I'm Addicted To: Captain Forever



So some how i have come across the best online game in existence. It is called Captain Forever and it is made by a man named Farbs. You start out as a small ship and you are quickly given 4 modular boxes, 2 lasers, and 2 thrusters. Now it's up to you to build your ship however you like!



Use your mouse to put your ship together. It takes awhile to get used to putting it on the right side, but once you get the hang of it you can change your ship in seconds.




When your ship is done use WASD and QE on the keyboard to move and Space Bar to shoot. Also it is useful to zoom out and in using R and F so you can see the surrounding enemys.


This game is all about progression so you start out with the low level green parts and attack green ships to get more parts for your ship. Once you build a good enough ship you will be able to take on a orange ship which will leave orange ship parts. Then once you got a stronger orange ship you can take on red.

What sets this apart from lets say other games where you have this "big fish, little fish" mechanic is if the ship is a way higher level than you, but you see a weak point where there are no guns you can take it out strategically. I highly recommend this game!

PLAY HERE


here is some pictures showing the progression



Above I am green which is what you start as and below I am purple which is about midway through the game.



Here you can see that I'm purple and on the left there is a higher level blue. He has hella guns so it would be suicide to try to attack him! Also there is a smaller orange ship which i could take out easily as a purple guy.



VERDICT? APPROVED. YOU GOTTA TRY IT!
