Hyperlink
Hyperlink is a small roguelike arcade shooter made in a little under one day for the GMTK Game Jam 2021. (It's a two-day jam but life got in the way.)
If you're on keyboard, it's standard Pico-8 controls: arrows to move and Z to shoot.
You control a tiny pilot module, which has no weapons. In order to defeat the boss at the end of the run, you will need to join together with any weapon modules that drift past.
Armour modules also drift past. Any modules that get hit will detach from your ship, and so will any modules that are no longer connected to the pilot module.

very fun little game. all my ship parts fell off from an ill-timed spike right before the boss so i wasn't able to attack lol. anyway the gameplay does get a bit repetitive after a while but i really like the concept and it could probably be expanded upon with more development time.
yeah, it's a genre that really needs a lot of assets and elements to stay interesting for long but that doesn't lend itself to a jam. thinking of making a 'full' version in the future though
Decent little retro game_like Galaga and 1942 mixed with a hint of Tetris. Cool 3d star background. Accurate for old school arcades, down to the font. Feels like I should put in a quarter.
