Story
Most of the journey to planet Xylitol has been spent in uneventful hyper-sleep, but the last few parsecs are going to be rough. Your puny ship needs to survive wave after wave of Xylian armada ships, all while gathering Power-Ups and avoiding space debris. In order to escape some truly impossible situations, Sacrifices Must Be Made.
Controls
* Arrow Keys: Move
* Z: Fire
* X: Sacrifice a Power-Up
Theme & LD Stuff
* For the player: You will need to sacrifice your Power-Ups to beat the game.
* For me: I sacrificed all but 16 colors by using the PICO-8 fantasy computer. It's a pretty neat engine!
* I also forced myself to make my own music this time, as music is something I've never been good at.
Tactics
* Some things can only be destroyed via sacrifice
* More Power-Ups make you stronger, but slower (and also a bigger target)
* All enemies have fixed patterns; there's very little randomness in this game
Help!
* If you're stuck on Level 1: https://pastebin.com/raw/qZCbgAte
* If you're stuck on Level 2: https://pastebin.com/raw/vniJb7C7
* If you're stuck on Level 3: https://pastebin.com/raw/TymK4R05
Bugs
* Hit boxes are off a tiny bit in some cases
* The last boss sometimes freezes the game (unsure why)
* Fullscreen doesn't work on some systems
