I started this game following a tutorial for pico-8 that was in the Magpi magazine 6 years ago. My daughter then aged 3 helped me to design the space ship. I figured I should finish this and inspire her as she has recently taken an interest in gaming. The nemesis in the game is a monster from my good friend Jon Hillman's book "The Vile Realm".
It's a classic side scrolling space shooter. The game features a ship with rechargable shields, energy bombs, timed missiles, and lasers. The player has to stop the big bad "Xotolo" from reaching Earth during the final wave of the game cycle. I hope you have fun, I plan to use what I have learned and push pico-8 to its limits!
