Today I present to you my arcade-style spaceshooter. It has some tiny bits of roguelike gameplay like permadeath and randomized upgrades. It is pretty fast-paced and entirely focussed on action.

Looks great so far! And welcome to the community!

This looks really nice!
I love how the ship can turn, and even better: how the enemy ships turn when hit. This makes the game so much more alive!

Great time-slowing effect as well.

It seems incredibly difficult though...

Also, the player ship is kinda small. But I was watching the movie in the small window, maybe that's it.

I agree. Looks cool. I love the enemy-knock-back.

looks pretty cool. I'm not a bullet-hell kinda guy, so I don't know if this is unreasonable feedback or not, but

This might help players cheat death, or just sit back and watch their inevitable death. Since you already have collision detection and a slow-down effect after death, I assume this would be within your scope to do.

Though again, this is feedback coming from someone who's not generally into the genre.

Thanks for the feedback

Actually, the playership only turns when it gets hit right now. But your post got me thinking; Maybe there should be an upgrade for it. Even though I somehow think that most people would be too busy to use it.

Also, the player ship is kinda small.

Yeah, I guess everything is somewhat small. That's the way I prefer it.

> if you made the player red, and the enemies white, the bullets may be easier to see.

Interesting thought. But I hope that won't be necessary.

> could you add a feature where, when the player was just about to take a bullet, you prematurely cut dt in half to slow time? This might help players cheat death, or just sit back and watch their inevitable death.

That would make a cool upgrade. I'll certainly think about it.

If it was made with Löve then why do I get an "install wiz"-setup?

Looks great !

How did you implement the clouds/fog ?
