【飛翔盾】Flying Shield [Luftrausers-inspired]

[Davidobot]

Introduction
Hi there, folks! It's been a very very long time since the last time I posted a thread on this board. I have been busy with real life and as such, wasn't able to program much, but I'm back now! Not entirely sure how many people actually care, but whatever...
So, this is my latest project - a mash-up between Luftrausers and magic mushrooms.

Gameplay
In terms of actual gameplay, I am aiming to achieve that awesome feeling you get when you are, well... awesome! I want the game to be over-the-top in terms of action and visuals, as well as in terms of hectic-ism. How this well actual reflect, well, it's a side-view plane-shooter (is that even a term?), like the classic arcade games of yore, with a touch of the aforementioned Luftrausers.

Great job so far! I am a huge fan of Luftrausers and it looks like you are off to a good start

I like the chromatic aberration, but the game currently is pretty hard on the eyes in my opinion. I think it's mostly because of the white background.

In terms of shaders I think teleglitch did a mighty fine job - you should check it out if you haven't already (There is a nice segment starting at 25:32 in this video):

Thank you~!

I changed the colour scheme to the reverse of what it was. Did it ease the eye-strain?

Thank you! And I altered the laser sound, tell me if it helps!
