Write down what effects you used.
Spotlight uses a shader that swaps the colors of sprites under it, so they remain visible. Still only ever 2 colors.

Very clean and well made arcade game! The difficulty ramps up greatly once the ships start spawning all over the place instead of in neat little rows in thirds of the screen. This makes the gameplay much more dynamic than I had thought originally. I kind of wonder how hellish diagonally moving enemies would end up being haha.
I like the idea of the spotlight. I never ended up avoiding it since it spawns a lot of consistent enemies which racks up score a lot easier and safer than the haphazard regular ones. I wonder if the risk vs reward should or could increase as a run progresses with spotlight enemies spawning differently or moving trickier.
Great job overall!

Quest For Balance (Jam Ver.)Quite an interesting single button sh'mup. It's hard to do a single button game well, but I think you got something here. Good job.

敵: Light & Darkness [1-BIT JAM]Original idea and great implementation :)
Was kinda hard at the beginning but i ended up playing a few more rounds, top score 18!

ShadowLight SiblingsThanks! Glad you liked it. It's actually based on a much more difficult game with the same control scheme, Switch 'n' Shoot
Interesting concept. I feel the speed of the ship moving up/down on click is a wee bit too fast, but otherwise it's pretty fun!

Hat HopperVery nice game and you have covered the themes of the 2 game jams perfectly.

CircadreamThis game was made in the span of 2 days covering two different game jams: LOWREZJAM 2023 and 1-BIT JAM.
For LOWREZJAME 2023 the game runs at an internal resolution of 64x64 pixels and the chosen theme is "Invasion" (hence the infinite wave of enemy planes to destroy).
For 1-BIT JAM the game uses only 2 colors: black and white. The theme is "Light & Dark", and is implemented by the use of the spotlight, which you're meant to avoid... or not :)
