I wanted to try something a little bit different this time, so deliberately didn't make a puzzle or adventure game. I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I even had time to add in a story at the last minute. Phew.

Post-Jam Changes


Please note that the HTML5 version of the game on itch.io is the post-jam version. I couldn't find a good way to host more than one HTML5 version there, but the Windows and Linux builds are the originals.

Here is a list of things that have been updated so far, based on reviewer feedback:

- Consistent art style (including new scrolling background).
- Reduced player and bullet hit boxes.
- Adjusted firing rate of enemies to increase gaps between bullets.

Keyboard Controls


- Shoot: Space or Left Click
- Cancel: Escape
- Move: WASD

Known Bugs

Tools
