Palmix Wave Ver0.1

Invaders from the Pamix system are attacking the Earth! Clear the menace aboard the Space Fighter!

Palmix Wave is a vertical shmup with a set play time of 2 minutes (A la caravan game mode). In the game you will encounter many types of enemies included a miniboss and a final boss. You will also find powerups that will make the space ship faster and shoot more bullets. These powerups will also give you a brief invencibility time.

This is also like my formally first try (like no sfx or music) of a completed game in Pico8. I began with a shmup tutorial but in midway I wanted to try the ECS game programming pattern. With a quick search this ECS Pico8 ECS engine came up https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30039. After a few tries I finally got the pattern and I liked it very much (code is not that pretty). Hope you like it!

This is really fun! Really like the feel of shooting and movement. If I were you I might slow the ship down a tad but otherwise it's fantastic.

Thanks for the comment, Mikesta. I might update the game with some sfx and music in the near future. And a bit more enemies in some sections because sometimes there's nothing to shoot at.
