LÖVE

Pnorar

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.

Also, since this is my first post: Hello community =]

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.

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

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

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

You are welcome!

Nice shmup! I love the responsiveness!

It's done, you can download it here:

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

Looks great !

How did you implement the clouds/fog ?
