The game is a pretty standard shoot'em up vertical scolling game like Galaxians from 1979. There are WAVES of aliens attacking for sure. The first level was easy but then the difficulty level ramps up quickly. Unfortunately there is no sound.

Nice entry, it reminded me a bit of Tyrian from the 90s.

I restarted the first time because I had the audio muted by accident, but I'm glad because the music was very nice!

I found the slow pace/enemy hp and shooting patterns in the beginning stages to be pretty frustrating.

I enjoyed the character following the mouse, good work!

Great game! Felt good to have an arcade style experience, and the gameplay was substantial with the different movement patterns, arrays, bosses, etc. If only there was some sound but I can understand as it seems there's already been a lot of effort put in to this. 


I got to 3-1 after dying two times and stopped there because of time constraints. I would have played further if some of the waves were a bit shorter. Awesome job!

Made it to 3-1 on 1 credit! This is totally my kind of game <3 The bullet and enemies patterns were nice, bosses (or large enemies) were fun and challenging, and the player weapons were fun, diverse and felt good to upgrade! More bullets for vulcan, larger laser, more lock-on. Perfect! Will def add to my collection and come back later!
