1k Defender
1k Defender is a little shmup made with 957 compressed bytes inside PICO-8!
This project was born from a failed submission to 1k jam 2022 and continuing it for the 2023 edition. Since I didn't felt it was eligible for the jam, I never uploaded it to it. A while ago I remembered it, so I spiced it up with a label and some sfx, but only those so it is a tad more enjoyable to play. We got a gameplay loop as well!
You can also check it out the raw one on GistHub:

Gameplay:
Shoot the invading forces down to protect your planet. You need to restock on bullets from time to time in the depot (the up icon on the bottom left)
Controls:
⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️ to move, ❎ to shoot

Looks like alot of work, I love the animations. The shipfire is cool too. It took me some time to figure out the ammo system, but i liked it. I could not play with sound now, but i will definitely in the future. I do find it sad you didnt submit your game to the jam. Great job :)
