- v1.0 - it's first version
- v1.1 - patched version
If you want - play old version, but remember, there are a few bugs and until you vote, try patched version (changes isn't too big, but are helpful) ;)
Here it is!
I wanted to my game resembled older games from low-bit consoles and somehow alluded to the species named shmup, I hope I managed to ;)
In YOGOS you are pilot of spaceship.
Your ship has a energy-shield, which is destroying enemies, asteroids and bouncing enemy lasers, but each this action is decreasing your shield's stamina points.
If stamina points will be smaller than 0, you shield will disappear and then you only need to get only one shot to die.
The goal is... grab much points as you can.
You can catch bonuses (3 types), which help you survive long as possible.
This is the game allows you to have some fun, come back to it every now and then to break the record ;)
C++ && SFML2.1;
Working time +- ~30hours;
JAM ENTRY(solo);
***NOTES***
If you have problem with run game, please install vcredist_x86, this is in game folder.
IF GAME IS RUNNING TOO SLOW FOR YOU, SIMPLY RESIZE THE WINDOW TO SMALLER.
***WARNING!***
In XP are sometimes problems with music in game,
I don't know what,so
PLAYING ON XP ISN'T RECOMMENDED.

@Darkcoder - yes, after some time game becomes monotony, but in 30 hours of work it is very difficult to extend the game, however I did everything in my power to do this ;)
My last entry-game was very extended, and wasn't appreciated, so this time I wanted to make some simple game, and I did it ;)
Very thanks for opinions and votes, I always listen opinions and notes from players, and I still working to be better ;)
Cheers! :)
Thanks for comment, I didn't see it before I started coding patch, and when I read it I know the things added/fixed by patch could be helpful. :)
Very thanks for comment!
BTW JAM is based on team, but I wanted to make game alone (I didn't submit it to compo because I late ;))
The boss fight is not satisfactory... I think have seen a little explosion.. Meh.
Wait a minute :D
For me, this is the game allows you to have some fun, come back to it
every now and then to break the record ;)
I like my game as it is, and I'm very happy that I made it in short time.
Thanks for comment! ;)
At any rate, an enjoyable play.
That's a shame, because your music was quite orginal (in an 80's kind of way) and would have fitted the game really well. I played them from the sfx folder.
Hold on! I just listened to loop4 and I think you have to credit other people for some of the music. Loop4 ended with something familiar from a C64 game I think (or did you make that music?)
I loved the bonus effect where your bullits would swirl in all kinds of sinusoid shapes.
The original game was too easy. At some point I tried to create music by shooting enemies in the rhythm of my bullit sounds, because I was never dying.
I also played 1.1 and that was certainly better, with a boss fight and more difficult.
I think problem with sound is in SDL_mixer, I modded this library a bit and maybe somewhere I made a mistake :0
Almost all content is credited in credits.txt, loop4 is here:

I didn't add all credits to game because to deadline I had very short time, and after I basically forgot :/ ;)
Very thanks for playing and feedback! :)
@Orangy Tang - unfortunately no, there isn't any chance for Mac build :)
@dalbinblue - thanks for opinion, and my game doesn't like when any other program/app is running in background and eating RAM (my mistakes in code ;)) :)
@PaulSB - thanks! :)
