Lunar Depot 38

Defend the door on this tiny moon with your fish gun!

I've long wanted to try both a circular game world and a game world that wraps, so this was a great exercise! I hope the game is more consistently enjoyable than writing the shader was.

Built with LÖVE atop an engine I'd already written, but everything else was made (mostly by glitchedpuppet, who is some kind of wizard) in the past 72 hours.

Bugs

Full disclosure! I made a bugfix release on Tuesday, April 25, at 09:50 Pacific time.

- The spaceship should not be stopped by hitting you or a fish. Whoops! Slightly game-breaking.
- Jumping on a steep slope should not launch you backwards. This was really annoying and inadvertently inherited from another game.
- The title screen now takes your keyboard layout into account when telling you the controls. The controls are in the same _place_ on any keyboard, but the title screen assumed qwerty when telling you what they are, which could be rather confusing.
- Fixed some typos in the shop menu.
- Kerjiggered some numbers to make the game more fun. We didn't have a lot of time to test, so it was a little unbalanced, which I argue is a bug.

Also, some people see a moon that's _much_ lower-resolution than intended, or a pattern of concentric circles. I don't have access to a machine that has either problem, and the handful of fixes I tried had no effect, so I can't do much about them. Sorry :(
