I'm an aspiring solo-developer who's super passionate about game dev:)
It’s the year 1997, with the recent surge in developing homebrew for the PICO-8 home computer, I've decided to take a crack at it and remake my favorite LX-II game, OVERBOLD, which I have fond memories of playing back in the 80's.
DISCLAIMER: This is a fan-made remake of the UFO 50 game OVERBOLD, I have no association with Mossmouth (the studio that made the game this is based on).
Overview
OVERBOLD FME (fan-made edition) for the PICO-8 is a brutal, topdown shoot-em-up, with strategic planning. You fight various enemies, gaining more rewards the more enemies you choose to fight. Play aggressively to net powerful upgrades- just make sure not to go over bold!

-You get points for destroying a meteor, netting more points the higher up the meteor is on the screen.
-Occasionally, you may spot power-ups. They look like this:
