Behind the scenes

Hey guys, I am an architect, not a programmer. I made this game to capture some nostalgia from my teenage years when games like Galaga were available to play at the back of your convenience store.

Credits

This game exists as an artifact of the shmup tutorial by Lazy Devs Academy. Thanks Krystman for allowing me to pretend I was a game developer in the late 1970's!

A lot of fun! The enemy designs and square looking bullets are charming! Very well balanced game!
