Just uploaded this. Welding sounds and animations don't work on the site. They do on my machine. Off to fix that. -- Just downloaded the latest version of Pico-8, now I see the same on my machine. Hope it's just the welds. -- I took the game out. Doesn't play proper without welding.
rev5 10 sep 25

fixed many bugs
multiple beam guns are now super fun
rev4 8 sep 25

scraped the token limit, would love some advice.
known bugs: beam guns (not pew lasers) may or may not stifle cpu while charging them up, I have no idea why.
Future updates should involve Gorp

Really good game, i just wish it was less harder to move around the stuff
Space Gorp is wildly creative—building & battling in space is epic!π Love the welding mechanics, though movement could be smoother. Great job, skipperd!πΎSprunki needs this!"
Thank you all for your awesome comments and feedback! Moving parts around is now much easier and was a great idea. This game is supposed to be a little tough but if people are finding it impossible to finish, please let me know, maybe I can write up some tips or make adjustments.
Building is fun! This game allows you to make up for things that don't go as planned with delicate operation, which is one of the ways to enjoy it.
Being able to do as I like without worrying about time is like a bonus after everything is finished.
However, after welding a lot, the parts for the entire ship disappeared.
(With the above equipment: pew-gun:5, solar-panels:4, booster:8, beam-gun:2)

This may be making the difficulty level too low, but there were times when I wished I had a biosensor (part).
You did it! Well done! I posted and deleted a question about this bug earlier and thought it had something to do with distance. I then wrote a bigdistance function but missed the point. Finding the center for 19 parts(pew-gun:5, solar-panels:4, booster:8, beam-gun:2) or 50 points(10 + 12 + 24 + 4) is going to overflow a square 655(32768 / 50) away from {0, 0}. Dividing by 1000 then multiplying by 1000 will not overflow even if you weld every available part together any longer.
Many thanks for reporting this bug!
[Edit] The biosensor is a fantastic idea, I wanted tractor beams and repeaters and funky rocket pods and and and.. Tokens though.
bro i have a request: if possible make the fucking alien like meat monsters to be less aggresive because sometimes im starting and im already being attacked by a weird flesh creature
Hint: You can avoid the Gorp for a while by snacking parts off of the outer edge of the level. When the game starts, your ship is pointed roughly towards the center so turning around ±90 degrees before you head out is going to help. The closer you get to the center, the more resistance you'll meat.
