Hey ! 

This project is here to gather early feedback !

What is it ?

It aims to be a fun mix between an early single screen shooter (think galaxian) and a hack'n slash. The focus is on building your death machine and deftly maneuvering. 

As the names suggests, the game is built entirely with particles. 

Feedback ?

  • Does it run well on your machine ? 
  • Is it readable ? 
  • Is it fun ?

  • Meta-progression
  • Completely rework the crappy mine effect
  • Volume control for effects and music
  • Graphical changes as the game progresses. Not sure yet how to do this one
  • Detect language at startup
  • Remap buttons
  • Display current level
  • Bonus : Extra ship
  • Bonus : Clear all enemies on level up, but you only have 1 hp
  • Bonus : Projectiles bounce to the nearest enemy after hitting the first
  • Bonus : The longer you hold fire, the more damage your next shot does
  • Bonus : Taking damage launches a burst of projectiles outward
  • Bonus : Upon killed an enemy you get a temporary damage boost, that stacks. With a damage booster meter ?
  • Bonus  : Triple firerate but slower reload
  • Bonus : Chances to get an extra shot when killed an enemy

Thanks for the controller support!

As mentioned in my feedback on Discord, this is a really beautiful and well-made game. More importantly, it's also a lot of fun.

I'll keep playing the game, and can't wait to see how it evolves.

Would it be possible to do a Play in browser version?

Hey thanks for your interest !

Possible ? yes that's technically doable, however that would require some time to pull of and to maintain.
As the browser is not my target I prefer to  invest time elsewhere, sorry :(

I can upload a mac port tough
