LÖVE

Finally finished PolyShot with not much time to spare, glad to have finally "finished" something at all. It's a (mildly) difficult bullet-hell where you have to kill specialized enemies that each have their own role. Second Ludum Dare entry, made in 48 hours, tell me what you think!

Dude this game is sweet.

You forgot to normalize player speed :

(you have to normalize the player speed, everyone will just keep moving in diagonals if you don't)

You're right I didn't catch that, although I don't think it really matters in this game because its not so much about speed as it is about dodging bullets and I think a speed to high would actually be a detriment.

wooow, difficult but fun game! i like the color abberation effect

can you make it non-fullscreen by default please?
also, using the highest available screen mode causes the game to span over my 2 monitors on Linux => not good.
