Aliens have invaded, and you’re the last aircraft pilot standing between Earth and destruction.
Shoot, dodge, and master precision!
Controls:
❎ Shoot incoming enemies
🅾️ Activate shield
Main game is OK, if nothing special for a pico8 shmup, but the RECRUIT phase quickly becomes tedious, when the real difficulty starts after it.
If CPU usage is always below 50% (likely unless the stars computation take a lot) you could add "switch game speed" option to the pause menu.
_update,_update60=_update60,_update
so we can speed over the 1st phase, for example.
Shield timing is tricky : late game it's important to crash into multiple enemies with each shield, and there's no audio or visual cue as to when it's going to run out.
The auto restart to the beginning make you feel like you accomplished nothing.
Going back to the title screen with you score, and maybe some statistics/high score might help mitigate that.
@RealShadowCaster. Again, Insightful feedback. thanks a lot! :)
I am experiment with update60. It improved the game a lot 😅
