placeHolder by tetra
A shmup where your bullets ricochet off everything and never go away! My first LD. It's called placeHolder because I didn't want to spend ages on a name :D

The audio of the bullets exploding was very harsh however, not sure about the best way to fix it, maybe reducing the enemies that split into two might help or maybe adding some variance in the audio. Also some bullets seemed to randomly gain a massive velocity compared to the other bullets

Thanks for being part of the stream :)
- The walls have places where the spaceship gets stuck, and its frustrating dying because of that.
- In my opinion the bullets that hit enemies shoud disappear, that way you reward the player for being accurate with his shots.
Overall great experience, well done!
Found a winning strategy. It is should to build such barrier walls.
