having an action game where sprites are locked on a grid is quite the deterrent for me. I don't suffer from epilepsy but I find it quite painful.
also there's a bug where the ship disappears at times.
nicely done otherwise, 60hz and pixel precision and I would dig it!
There's quite a visible evolution if we compare this game with your previous ones. It looks good, although it's just another shoot 'em up from the many we have here in PICO-8, but I like it and it's fun! What I don't like is the ship's movement and the gameplay transition, the land pieces approach really slow and that makes me mad.
I agree with ultrabrite.
I am building the same little idea but I aim to do it without the grid (here's current pre pre pre alpha status to get, if you find anything useful, ideas):
