This is my first ever attempt at making a Pico-8 game. It was made mainly by following&nbsp;@Krystman's epic <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=47630">Shmup Tutorial</a>, although there were some bonus concepts I was really keen on experimenting with which led to some wild tangents.</p> <p>Specifically the inclusion of &quot;gravity&quot; and basic Newtonian physics for the movement in an effort to give the entire orbital shootout a more space-y feel.</p> <p>As for the music, I was saved by the legendary @Gruber and his <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33675">Pico-8 Tunes Vol.2</a> that featured a kick ass tune to slot into my cart, because honestly... <em>I&nbsp;can't put two notes together</em>.</p> <p>And finally, please feel free to give Outrider a try and drop your feedback in the comments.</p> <p>Over and out!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52689 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52689 Wed, 10 May 2023 21:45:31 UTC
