i finally got around to trying this! this is clearly a very polished and tight knit experience. the level design really reminds me of those classic arcade shoot em ups, but the aesthetics and gameplay are very much their own. a lot of fun; great work!
Thanks! It's been a lot of fun to work on this project, and I'm glad you enjoy it. The little perfectionist inside me spent lots of time searching for bugs and adjusting little details to try and create my dream experience. Even still, I think the game is pretty mean in some places with tricky enemy formations and sudden boss attacks; I'm learning what I can from this project and will strive for a better difficulty balance in my upcoming games.
I'll be pushing out one last update for this game sometime in the future, as an original soundtrack and a potential sound effect overhaul are currently in the works. I'm really looking forward to adding the music and having a full video game experience!
