Nice short shmup. Compared to other clones, this one uses large sprites and less enemies.

Nice shoot-em-up. Lovely art style and an interesting twist on shields being used as a weapon.

But a shmup with no score !?!?! What is the world coming to :)

Nice job! Reminds me of a game I used to play as a kid. Action Fighter for SMS!

@phil Thank you, glad you liked it! :) At first, I figured score would be meaningless on a game that short. While working on the game I’ve been thinking more about it and what could make some interesting score rules that would fit the game. Let’s say it’s a candidate feature for future version :)

@Gruber Thank you! I haven’t play that one, looked it up on youtube though, seems like an action-packed game! Also, thank you so much for sharing your awesome music, it really adds a great drive to the game.
