Overview
Marcianitos tries to recreate the experience to play a shmup from an 80s arcade video game room, where you wasted a little amount of coins in an addictive game. Difficult to play, but worth it if you were willing to spend some time shooting enemies and looking for strategies to defeat the final boss. You wanted to play again and again because you knew you could do it better next time.
Controls
- Arrow keys for moving the ship
- Z normal shot
- X bomb shot (high damage)
Rules
Kill all the enemies you can before they kill you!
You can collect bombs to have a special multi-shot or you can keep them till you reach 8 bombs and gain an extra life.
Behind the scenes
This is my first game. I am really a composer trying to learn how to code, but from my childhood I wished I could make video games, like the ones I played all day with my Spectrum or in the arcade saloons, so I am very excited to share this with you.
