Nice shmup, great work! I scored a 103
Nice game! Since the reload time is a bit long, accuracy is important. I find it easier to hit enemies by shooting a little to the left.
This is rad! It's really cool how you've used mechanics (firing on a timer) in addition to tiny code to squeeze this in!
Thank you! I just wish I could have squeezed in a boss-if I find a way I'll update this :)
When I Install and Launch in the itch.io App I get the following error:
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! In an effort to fit the whole code in one of the screenshot I added a newline that broke the code. It should work again.
Wow that was fast! This is why I leave it up to the professionals. :)
