Instructions
This is a basic shmup with a parry gimmick. You can choose to shoot your one bullet at a time with Z or you can bite an aphid with X. Press X again after biting an aphid to spit it out. Aphids will not damage you if you spit them out and touch them again. Your score is multiplied by the number of aphids that you have spit out active on screen. New waves of aphids spawn after destroying every aphid from the previous wave.
This is my first game with Pico-8 and I like how it helps me focus on just working on basic mechanics rather than getting overwhelmed with everything else.
