lots of updates
Shmup v0.5 ยป Devlog
I would call this a playable game at this point! All the major pieces are in place.
What remains is lots of polish - there are still barely any particle effects, unforgivable ๐
Major changes:
- The core gameplay loop is now complete, with a title screen, GAME OVER screen and restart.
- The title screen gives you a sort of guide to what's in the game, but without giving EVERYTHING away. This is a tribute to 1980s arcades.
- There's a boss!
- You can score and HI SCORE.
- The SUPERBEAM weapon has a limit now! Thanks to Fernando Lores for the idea.
Smaller changes:
- Some enemies take 2 hits. Some take many more.
- Illusion of depth: there are sparkles on the sea far below and dust flying fast above you.
- Invincibility phase (glowing yellow) after you respawn.
- Cute red stars to show how many 1UPs left.
Let me know what you think!
