Time constraints are serious and I think I spent too long on the audio >.<\r\r@Sanka.X - I honestly hadn't thought of that! Was going for something more infinite play \/ score challenge.. but boss spawns or massive waves could be really cool. I made the music using an LSDJ cartridge with my old Gameboy ((http:\/\/www.littlesounddj.com\/lsd\/) It was relaxing to take a break from coding by holding a DMG in my hands :)\r\r@Infininete - Had a few other mechanics happening to increase the difficulty, but scrapped them for simplicity's sake in the end. Thanks for the bug spotting, I noticed that issue a few times during development, it seems hard to reproduce. I thought I fixed it but will look into it! By the way, grabbing missiles is an amazing idea dude... I was thinking of ways of giving the player a way of fighting back and that just might work perfectly!
