Eyeboss is designed to be a short, yet well-polished, tough-as-nails bullet hell boss shooter. It features 2 play modes, Survive and Destroy, each of which can be played on Normal or Hard difficulty, and 10 levels to clear. The music and background will become progressively more intense as you proceed through the levels.
In Hard mode, enemies will bungee back and forth while firing their patterns faster than on Normal mode. In Destroy mode, you can fire back at enemies, and have 3 lives to complete the game. In Survive mode, you have one life, and surviving for 15 seconds clears the level.
Thanks for playing! I appreciate any feedback. This is my first game using Pico-8, so if you are running into problems such as performance issues, glitches, etc., please let me know.
Just reworked the sfx a little. It still sounds a bit more crummy than the downloaded cart, but it's better than before.
The bullets are very sneaky! Having delayed movement for blues and greens makes Eyeboss feel very special. I made it to level 7 on Normal, will play more later. The syncopation of shot sound effects with the Asteroids-y heartbeat bass was nice.
AGH I've been playing this for tooooo long, I can get to level 10 now but can't beat it, lovely shmup.
I got to level 7 in Survive mode by sitting in the top left corner.
It seems that BlueCandle hass basically abandoned his pico 8 account, but if you see this, I made a mod of this! It's on my profile if you want to check it out. Cheers!
