First version, submitted for the Basic Shmup Showcase.

Loved it!
Very fun, great palette work, and gameplay worked well, can't wait to see this move forward!

Swarmed is very great game!

Nice short shmup. Compared to other clones, this one uses large sprites and less enemies.

@CrownDeluxe @DRStudio2010 @Bloodbane Thank you all for the feedback and thanks for playing! :)

Nice shoot-em-up. Lovely art style and an interesting twist on shields being used as a weapon.

But a shmup with no score !?!?! What is the world coming to :)

Nice job! Reminds me of a game I used to play as a kid. Action Fighter for SMS!

@phil Thank you, glad you liked it! :) At first, I figured score would be meaningless on a game that short. While working on the game I’ve been thinking more about it and what could make some interesting score rules that would fit the game. Let’s say it’s a candidate feature for future version :)

@Gruber Thank you! I haven’t play that one, looked it up on youtube though, seems like an action-packed game! Also, thank you so much for sharing your awesome music, it really adds a great drive to the game.

love the lowrez aspect
