MECHANICS

Each time you hit an enemy or block a bullet, your special attack charge increases. When the bar starts flashing you can right click to shoot a super-powered special attack! Once the bar fills you may then only use your special attack. Killing certain enemies with the special attack will allow you to pick up their gun and use it.

Hey there!

Nice game, but I found it super hard. Even with the shield, I could barely survive a few seconds.

Are you still working on it? Maybe I haven't reached ta part where I could upgrade my ship and make it stronger?

Hi, and thanks! It’s definitely very challenging. We do intend to continue developing it, perhaps once Mini Jam 111 is over.

The game doesn’t have any objective upgrades, but hitting enemies and absorbing shots with your shield will charge the bar in the bottom-right corner. When that starts flashing, you can right click to use its “special shot”. Killing some enemies with the special shot allows you to pick up their weapons, which have different behaviours. I suppose it’s more of a horizontal-grade than an upgrade

That's great! I'd love to try it again when the update comes, please keep me posted!
