%20 Shooter by carrier_signal

[raw]
made by carrier_signal for LD30 (COMPO)
This is my 2nd LD, and I struggled with this theme. After 2 hours of thinking, I decided the easiest thing would be to make a 2D space shooter with 3 levels. The 3 levels being different worlds.

On Saturday, I decided to make all those levels "connected" in that the space ship will fly between them and land on each world. It worked out nice, and I'm happy with the result.

I suck at art, but I did the best I could. I'm proud of the music.

Pleasant shoot'em'up, great music.

Vertical movement is waaay too fast tho!

I agree that the vertical movement is extremely fast.

Enjoyable shooter. Movement is a little fast, but I imagine its a matter of choice.

Thanks for the feedback about the movement. The vertical movement is the same as the horizontal movement, so I'll probably change that a bit.

And yes I noticed they looked like red sperm also after attaching the engine fire. YOLO :)

Didn't think I was going to enjoy it looking at the screenshots, but I did! Music was great, controls were tight and I really liked the level transitions. Graphics like you said aren't your forte, but apart from that it was really good!

I dig it. Nice music and I liked the setting change a lot. Kept me interested. The round enemy should be more pixellated to match the rest of the art :) Keep going on it.

Keyboard movement controls on web didn't work for me... I could only shoot :/

Yeah, the movement could stand to be a little more precise, especially given the large hitboxes. The transitions were neat, though, and yes, very nice music.

Hi there. Great music indeed, very reminiscent of Wipeout for me. I'd say your graphics are pretty good, especially the FX for explosions etc, very good job!

The music is excellent and the art style has a charm all of its own! Had a lot of fun with this. =)

I am a sucker for flashing particles and good music. A bit too punishing on the death (checkpoints would've helped) but awesome entry regardless.
