Save the Earth

Wanna save the earth? And save some power while you're at it?

In this game, a bullet hell vertical shooter, you need to multitask!

First you need to defeat the enemy: dodge their bullets, while shooting yours at the waves of enemies. Unfortunately, you have only one generator left, so you need to choose wisely where to direct its power: recharge either your cannon, rockets or shield.

The game is written in PICO-8. All art, music, sfx and code by me. PICO-8 is a fantasy console, it only exists in the emulator. The console has 128x128 pixels, a fixed 16 color palette, and a 32k cardridge (which you write).

Some have commented that it is a bit hard: it is supposed to, to resemble the really hard retro arcade games. Who can make it past Wave 6? :innocent:
