Here's the small shooter I made with the early version of pico-8.
- fire with Z
- launch all missiles with X
- missiles recover with time
- missile deal double damage on non-shielded targets
With the waves attacking from the screen bottom it seemed too difficult,.
then I realized there is vertical movement!
Very nice ;)
This thing's got some awesome sprites. And it actually has music in it, unlike my games. Good job.
Love it!
If you crank up the rate of fire (line 140) and missile recovery (line 128) then it is still super fun and gets crazy looking :)
In addition to josh9999's suggestions, increasing the movement speed (line 132) can help the game feel hectic in a good way. ;)
What does P.A.T. stand for?
Nice job btw; the game is a little hard for my taste (or skill?), but pretty!
Well It stand for nothing. Actually I was hoping nobody will ask.
( I fixed a bug on the starfield which was happening only on web player )
I love the vector grid at the start - I can't think of any games or demos back in the day that did THAT effect, which, considering how simple it is... I can't think of WHY I haven't seen it before.
The game itself is one of my favorite Pico-8 games, and I keep playing it (:
Huh, I wonder why I never found this game before? It's freakin' AWESOME!
This title screen music. YES.
If a trailer was made for PICO-8, that small bit of music should be a part of it.
Favorited game.
i just figured out you go faster if you go on a diagonal, but thats good coz this games super hard
Great fun! When the screen starts filling up with enemies it becomes wonderfully chaotic. Love the missile effect- it reminds me of missile volleys from anime.
Damn, this game is fun! and the music is so good. Agree with DatanOde re. missile effects - very satisfying!
I really suck though - I need SHIELDS!!!
Fun and challenging experience! Really fun arcade shooter!
