I made a reskin, using an asset pack from itch!

P#119957 2022-11-01 15:40

whoa, this is neat!
I started working on my next cart but I may be able to squeeze the token count a bit more and add some scrapped ideas I had :)

P#121337 2022-11-24 17:55

Quite the good shooter, @SerialBull.

Gold Star to put with your Galactic Credits. :)

P#121362 2022-11-25 01:17

Very fun ! I love the wave system

P#121371 2022-11-25 08:55

new update :)

P#121506 2022-11-28 02:06

YESS

P#124435 2023-01-17 00:03

idea: 4(or 5?) items to choose from at the end of a level, but random items give you 2 choices

also, alabaster is broken

P#124474 2023-01-17 21:05 ( Edited 2023-01-18 00:14)

another update

P#125267 2023-02-04 00:38

great game! love the variety and difficulty

bug report: I got this error, in the shop right after buying tequila

P#125301 2023-02-04 11:48

thanks for making such a good game!

no pressure, but here are some content ideas:
a few more waves, (minibosses?)
more ally items,
more cool item gimmicks
maybe more characters?

I can go into more detail if you want to hear more specifics

oooh items unlocked by winning as each character!

thanks for all the feedback <3

I've been at the token limit since the game originally came out and I had to take a lot of time lowering the token count to add anything new in. It's getting to a point where it is hard to find places to optimize, so I think I am done with updating this.

If I were to change stuff about the game at this point, it would be core gameplay features, which are probably not in budget with PICO-8's limitations. So my plan is to make an entirely new iteration of the game or a completely different game. Not sure what I'll work on next, but you'll hear from me.

P#125902 2023-02-15 18:43

I am excited for picotron, I think there could be some cool remakes with that

P#125909 2023-02-15 19:26

Hi @SerialBull:

Could you please add a SAVE GAME option between levels ? It might not be anything greater than saving a single BYTE of data to cartdata()

Thanks !

P#125922 2023-02-16 01:48

by the way, I think that you could compress the items into a single string to save many tokens
