This is a shmup created by me and only me (while using the Lazy Devs Basic Shmup Tutorial...).


You are controlling a ship, and you have to dodge the countless barrage of enemies to get to the lords of them all. It's like a shmup, except that it's not. It's SO COOOLL!!!! RADICAL!!!! GNARLY!!!! A fun-filled, action-packed game for the whole family! (Or yourself, since it's singleplayer)


Many features, such as power-ups, bosses, explosions GALORE and a ranking system, free of charge. No need to thank me ',:]

Now the real question: Are you ready? Are you prepared? We know you aren't, but you never will.



A lil backstory

A man on a mission. In space. He is trying to fend off the HORDE (where have I heard this before...) Yet, he knows there's an end to the madness.

So he sets off, to find the source.

Thank you Lazy Devs for the tutorial on Basic Shmups!!! It was a really big help on creating this project. And thank you to the Pico-8 community and resources for helping me find those very specific problems. I don't think I could've gotten this far :L


(There's also some secrets to find. Think you can get them all?)

After playing a round of dodge mode, it prints

BEST DOUGE TIME: 2.2117:12

What does this time format mean?

(+1)

It's supposed to be Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds but seconds look like that for some reason. I will try to fix it. Just needs to be looked over and tested :]

I managed to get a higher score after the update, however now prints

2.2761:16:-1100

V1.1.2 is printed in the upper left corner, which is indeed the updated version.

Maybe I need to clear the storage and retry the round to see if it does anything

You don't need to reset anything. the time displayed can be changed without affecting your actual score. I guess I have to keep fixing it. Ughhhhhhhhh

Thank you for finding these bugs. I'm not a very good bug finder. So I thank you for doing all this
