Production values are great. I get that this is a gametrope but the gameplay would benefit dramatically from another gun or bombs or anything else u can do other than tap/hold. I went till lvl 4 but that was where my interest diminished cause the firing was the same everytime and only got slower. Speaking of tap/hold....is holding supposed to be a punishment? Cause I was holding whenever I just had to spam, out of laziness, and for accuracy's sake moving with the enemy it benfited me. U can tap fire just as fast as holding and not have the movement inhibition, but I found the inhibition mostly beneficial. This kinda defeats the point of both modes though. Woulda liked for holding to do a different type of ammo than tappinig to fit the needs of the player etc. I didn't enjoy the main weapon I guess is only my grip.
nice work i think you have a nice core game going on and you you wonted you could make more lvl's, modes and set this game on steam or do a delux edition. nice work
Awesome ! Remind me old hard Megadrive shoot that I played a lot which are looping like Tastujin, Twin hawk etc... Here's my score after one morning training !
Also I didn't notice the bombs in the beginning and I thought it was maybe the most difficult shoot I ever played, I reached to the boss of level 7 without using any bombs !
Fantastic game! It just seems so impossible to beat the level 10 boss. There's literally no space without bullets and it's so quick that I can't spawn bombs. Could someone, without spoiling anything, tell me if this has to do with me not having leveled up enough yet? (lvl 15 right now)
I think that this game was the first time that I saw such a great bullet-hell game made in PICO-8! It had a lovely arcade-y vibe in it and the whole aesthetics - not just the pixel art itself, but especially the color choices - really got to me. :) Thanks for this neat little game, of which I wrote a short article and also uploaded a gameplay video. <3 I hope it drived some more players to you. :)
Thanks a lot for your comments, review and video, Sebastian! It all helps to get more people to play it for sure! Also, check out my other games as well, hopefully you'll find them as interesting as this one. Cheers!
I like the game you add some nice twists in by gaining more ships as you level up and boost your firing range. something I noticed though is the bullets don't seem to hurt you if your special attack is charged. Is that intentional?
Thanks for your feedback, Keero! The player has a really small hit box, which might be what you're experiencing. Either that or that your side-kick ships don't really get damaged unless they become the main ship (effectively acting as lives stock). Hope that makes sense. Thanks for playing the game and I'm glad you're enjoying it!
The particles flying by make it hard to read what things you have to keep track of, if that makes and sense. It makes visual noise and it's a bit harder to see enemies and bullets coming at you.
yeah, I see your point... the pico-8 palette is very limited so there's not a whole lot I can do... I think that once you know that only pink and green can hurt you it should be fine

random bullet speed on level 10 is dumb, when you are near to a monster that shot lightspeed bullet, you know you are going to reset
need a quick reset key, when you hit bullet on start of a level, you know you already lose (because low fire rate and can't heal)
Is there any chance of a Windows Executable please? This game is great!

This is now my new favorite shoot 'em up.
Glad you liked it so much, Stavros! :)
This is my new favorite shoot 'em too! Happy my progress is saved too ;)

Oh okay I see. Well keep up the good work ^
Awesome game! It was fun to play!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing it!
this game is awsome
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
I cant get past the 4th boss for the life of me, great game btw!
keep at it... eventually you'll have enough fire power to overcome it :)
Thanks for playing!
Why is there no download link?
Also it might be cool to make your ship a little bit procedural as well.
yeah, that was my plan but I ran out of space in the pico-8 cart.
Ah
hello
is it me you're looking for?
i love the variety of enemy designs, are they randomly generated or did you design all of them?
They're randomly generated at the start of each level. I'm glad you like it!
Rather well made but out of intrest is it an applet or a html game?
it's made using pico-8
It gets a bit repetitive after a bit, but it's a very well-made shooter.
thank you for your feedback... just curious, how far did you get?
I should've played farther than I did...I didn't finish the second level. I'll go back to it and see what comes up in later sections of the game.
Cool! I wanna PICO-8! :D You inspire me!
excellent, pico-8 is awesome!
