The emperor has requested a very important cargo be delivered personally to his palace. His detractors will try to prevent it and seize that it contains such an important shipment. As a defense drone pilot it's your job to get the cargo to its destination

A classic style side-scroller shooter that has a variant, you must protect a defenseless cargo ship and achieve the best score at the end of your delivery. What will that cargo have that is so important? You will know only if you reach the end of the level.

Controls

- Arrow Keys - Move the drone
- Space - Shoot
- 1,2,3 - Activate obtained Powerups

Pretty standard SHMUP. Good graphics and sound. Do wish on the sound front power up pickups had some type of sound when you got them. Good entry

Audio is a bit loud, but I love the art style.

Brings back some distant memories of playing STG at my friend's house 10,000 years ago!

Cool idea. I Love the background graphics.

Nice work. I didn't quite get what to do with the big vehicle, (if I could do anything.)

Cool game! At first, I thought the goal was to protect the mothership by ramming your own ship into the obstacles. That's a pretty cool idea, I'll have to hold onto it for later use.
Either way, it's a fun game. Maybe a little easy, but with game jams, it's probably better to keep the difficulty down. The graphics were fun! I especially loved the scrolling background, and the spaceship designs.

Congrats I won!

Well done! I like the graphics a lot and the sfx are nice too. The powerups are a nice touch as well. I like that you have to defend the thing that's delivering and the multiple lives is also a fun mechanic with the ship respawns!
Overall it's a pretty decent entry.
