One of my favorite games, congrats to the whole team ! Lots of small details here and there, like make the HUD semi transparent when the player is under it. And challenging as well without being too hard. Great job!
Glad you liked it! Spent a lot of my time with tiny details like that so glad to see it was worth it!
Thanks for your kind comments! And congratulations yourself on winning the jam!
Interesting game, engaging gameplay, interesting spin on that jam's theme. Obviously great polish, but I am not sure if I want to play gradius for too long in 2025 lol
Also, "Mothic"... I am going to take a closer look at that engine, is it your in-house game engine?
Yeah Mothic is my first attempt at an engine. It's moreso just a framework right now as I've only been working on it for 2-3 months. And doing this game jam in Mothic has shown me how inadequate and terrible it is right now haha. Many things to improve before it becomes public (even though this stripped down version is sorta public now lol).
Thanks for your compliments! Gradius is indeed a bit of an old game to play these days, but I enjoy some good retro games.
