This was a blast! I really love the simple aesthetic with the little details like the spaceships movement, when going up and down! Sends me back in the days.
I like this. It's dynamic and fun!
I like this 8bit style, it feels like I’m playing a game from my childhood, and it makes me happy. Besides, the music is nice, just like the graphics. The only thing I have trouble with is the slow motion when a chain explosion occurs. I don’t know if it’s intentional, or if it’s my navigator who is struggling, but it frustrates me a little to find myself at such a slow pace, when I have to keep dodging a projectile. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful game, I hope to be able to play your future creations.
Fun, high octane gaming with cool chain reaction explosions. Killing enemies feels satisfying, the art is good and the SFX are good too.
A fun, challenging and addictive game.
Not as good as Gradius but remains fun !
Notes:
The mapping is made for US keyboard.
Game controller work in game but not on the game over (no R key).
Enemies can go above where you can't reach them, they don't remain.
The visual style is very cool, the game is very beautiful. There's a bug where enemy ships fly up or down, and you can't shoot at them. It's also a shame there's no web version of the game.
Thank you for playing! I am aware that the enemy ships sometimes go too far up or down but they all eventually come back. I also added a browser version of the game.
