Cool Smash TV style =D I had fun fun, but were you supposed to keep powerups through restarting?

the movement feels really nice! I would change the IJKL scheme for the arrows though. I also think its kinda empty without sounds.... an epic action music would fit so nicely here!

@Rowdy: Thanks! We'll keep working on it, stay tuned!

@ Tamik: Thanks! The power-up thing... That's a "feature", we'll get it fixed :)

@João Cheers :)

@pedro.thiers: The movement was just one of those things that required zero tinkering... I've implemented it and it just clicked, I really like dit too :)

Sounds will be added shortly, they were finished I just didn't had the time to add them.

Smash TVVVVV!!! I like this style of games. I feel like it craves a nice music and sound effects. Sound effects on shooters really make a difference.

Can I leave the first room? Wasn't sure if I was just bad, or if that's the whole thing.

Solid SmashTV-type shooter implemented here. Would have loved to see a bit more content, like sound and additional enemy types.

Good fun shooter, but would benefit from sounds!
