Pretty cool! I like how the ships follow you wherever you go and cluster on the screen. It makes it more challenging than the typical shooter which would have the ships move in a preset pattern. Could be fun to mess around with the delay time that the ships follow the player. Could randomize the delay time for each ship, so some follow the player faster than others. As I said, pretty cool for your first game! Keep at it!

Thanks, I will need to sit this game down for a bit and then implement some more tweaks. I am really surprised what can be done with this little game engine.

Yeah. I'm just trying pico-8 out for myself for the first time. Pretty cool how quick you can get a prototype up and running with it. I hope to share something soon myself.
