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 ?

- 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 ?

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.
Thanks Panda <3
I think that I should credit you for the name of the game too !
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
