Redesigned of an older #pico8 #shmup before making a better game based on the graphics.

The Demo2 version just adds extra-life every 50 points.

The Demo3 version add the auto-fire : just let you finger on the action button.

More healthy for the keyboard or the joypad.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm a bit lazy now about the music now but the last version adds the auto-fire.

Excellent space shooter! Here is some personal feedback:

POSITIVE

NEGATIVE

All enemies have the same mechanic
Having to keep pressing the fire button over and over gets annoying after a while, especially on a gamepad
Music loop of... like... 1 second? :-)

IMPROVEMENT IDEAS

Very cool. Is this a redesign of Juneb?

yes. It's the same game with other graphics.
