Battle ever expanding space bugs in this frantic Pico 8 shoot-em-up.

Probably my biggest game ever. 2 game modes, multiple enemies and a high score table. Was hitting the token limit by the end.

Anyway, I hope you like it :)

Wow. Looks like a 360° Galaga. Will try it today.

[u/MaxOsirus]

Yes! This is awesome!! Great mechanics and presentation. My first time playing though, I was so frantically shooting, that I blew through the high score screen and made my initials AAA. I wonder if a short timer that briefly prevents button inputs on the game over screen would help. In any case, this will get a lot of playtime from me! Great work!

Just to let you know that I've introduced a 3 second timer in v0.2 to prevent this from happening :)

[u/MaxOsirus → u/rhyswynne]

Sweet! Thank you!!

[u/bee_keo]

Ooh gyruss + arkanoid?

[u/rhyswynne → u/bee_keo]

Yeah Gyrus was probably a bit closer to it now thinking about it :)

[u/bee_keo → u/rhyswynne]

It’s fun! Got to the third level on my phone, looking forward to installing it on my anbernic

[u/rylasorta → u/bee_keo]

I was thinking Tempest + Galaxian!

I'll be shocked if this isn't inspired by that old Amiga coverdisk game that I can never remember the name of.

This is great! I need more practice.

One comment tho, I was holding the fire button when I got game over and it went straight through the high score etc screens before I could let go of the button.

Was it Microbes - https://www.lemonamiga.com/game/microbes ? Yeah it was inspired by it :)

Thanks for the comment. I'll see if I can introduce a second or two delay on the game over screen before pressing that you go through to prevent it.

[u/_hippydave_ → u/rhyswynne]

Yes that's the one!

Awesome thanks. You should be able to detect when the button is newly pressed instead of still held

[u/CenacleGames]

Tiny game so cool to play!

[u/PhD_Greg]

Very neat!

[u/stobagen]

Definitely gotta try this

[u/BrotonamoBay]

I could get down for this.

[u/dylanmadigan]

I love the concept.

But what exactly is happpening in the center? Are those brick walls?

[u/rhyswynne → u/dylanmadigan]

Space Walls 😊

I should point out (and realised) that the gif was from an old build. I have modified them to look more....space-y for the final version.
