A real shoot’em up all in 16 x 9 pixels !

MADE FOR LUDUM DARE JAM 42

A self imposed challenge to follow the "Running out of space" LD42 theme. Working with so little pixels was more fun than I expected.
Only two levels with unique patterns, then it’s a loop to become stronger and see all the weapons and turrets. You can see this as a proof of concept more than a real game. I made more ennemies and patterns but no time to put everything.

I'l keep this game jam version as v0.1
More story and levels to come with new revisions.

Visually a very minimal shoot 'em up. It still has many features that some games of the genre don't always even have here, like power-ups and bosses. Other enemies have some variation too, at least in how they move.

Very simple and with a nice difficulty level. That's what makes it good and entertaining.
