while I am still working on my package of ten first-generation shoot em ups (4 out of 10 finished so far), I decided to tackle a little side-project. This game here is the result. Contrary to my other games, this one is more of a second-generation style shoot em up with scrolling levels and a boss at the end of each level. The game is rather short. It has a total of 3 levels and can be beaten in little more than 10 minutes. That is, if you can beat it. The game is brutally hard, and even in Easy-Difficulty it is still a solid challenge. The game was created using Löve version 9.0.
Here is what it looks like:
The game can be downloaded from the attachment to this post. I'm also planning to release it on itch.io, but if you download it from this post, you can get it earlier.
The controls are as following:
Keyboard: "z" or "y" to fire, directional buttons to move, "p" to pause
the game
Mouse: left mousebutton down to fire, right mousebutton down to make
your spaceship follow the mousepointer - it's best to keep the
right mousebutton pressed, so you can drag your spaceship around
Gamepad: "a","b","x" or "y" to fire, Dpad to move your spaceship,
"start" to pause the game
All inputs work simultaneously. Note that you can also use each input to select a difficulty on the title screen. With the mouse, you simply move the mouse cursor over the difficulty setting you wish to select, with the other controls press up and down to select your difficulty. Then you press fire to start the game.
More info about the game can be found in the readme.txt that comes with the download. Now all there is left to say is: Thank you for playing "Mono Warp".
