lots of updates


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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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!
