Hey! I just started looking at this side of Itch, and I see I can make announcements and dev posts. That's great, I'll start doing that more often!

Right off, though, I just wanted to announce that Super Space Acer for GBA will be released this week. Super Space Acer is a 2d, top-down space shooter that I started in 1989 for the TI-99/4A! Yeah, no kidding! Over the last couple of years I've revamped it and expanded it, and releases for the TI and ColecoVision are coming. (Visit ArcadeShopper.com for the TI port and CollectorVision.com for the ColecoVision port).

For the GBA, I took the F18A enhanced graphics, enhanced the rest of them, and added a nice 3D perspective view to the game. It's working well and I think I'm ready to put it out there!

The game has five stages each with a massage enemy boss ship to destroy. You have three main ships to choose from, with three secret/unlockable modes to increase the difficulty. Each ship has different abilities and so requires a slightly different play style. Generally, each ship has two different weapons with three power up levels each, plus shields.

My Youtube has some of the work in progress videos, particularly of the TI/ColecoVision version, but I'm putting together a new video for the GBA release. Can't wait to share it with you!
