First shot at a game, modifying jelpi collision code into a bullet hell vertical shooter
Help and fixes from Mike Meyers



An interesting shooter. Your enemies are all quiet and then BLAMMO ! They shoot a salvo of shots and it's up to you to avoid the bullet hell.
Legendary Wings was a great topview shooter for its time, a nice tribute, Pusscat !

I used to play this game while I was waiting for my lunch-to-go was being made. At the time I had a job in security. At a quarter a pop, I would usually put in 3-4 games while waiting before my order was up.
I remember the majestic and triumphant music very clearly.
Seeing a topview shooter as a winged warrior brings back those great memories. :)



You might need to tweak the min/max random values for the bullet velocities a bit. Sometimes the bullets move so fast that they are nigh-impossible to dodge. I do like that some bullets go so slow that they linger for a while, though. I think you might offend some bullet-hell purists, though, because the bullets are random and don't follow a recognizable pattern. Not a bad thing--I'm curious to see where it goes.
