Great game! It was difficult but not too hard. The only complaint I have is that the background moves a bit fast, so it can hurt your eyes after a while. Other than that, great game!

Good game but at around 80/90 points one has accumulated enough damage power ups so that it is enough to just stand in the corner and keep on shooting. Definitely had some fun playing it
Very nice game. I dont know why but these Pico-8 games always look and feel so good. I have to try pico 8 for myself now i think.
But of course its not the engine that makes a great game. Its you ;).
Well i did a little Research and found Out that Pico 8 uses Lua as its programming language and im not really down to learning Lua(Languages where the first entry of an array has the Index 1 creep me out lol). I thought, since its basically an emulator or virtual machine of a non existing console, that it would use a simple Assembler or something C like. That would have been way more interesting for me personally. But hey, you enjoyed it and thats what matters.
Brilliant take on a classic arcade game!! Loved the opening music, and such a shame it didn't carry on into the main game! Loved how the difficulty really ramped up as you went through, yet I think the bullets could have had a little cooldown to them as I found myself just standing there and spaming shoot and winning most battles! However the art style and music are both brilliant and the sound effects in the main game were awesome too! Good submission!
It's one awesome retro game from the gameplay to the graphics! Only thing I don't understand is why not use WASD for the player 2 controls?
There is definitely a lot of love in this retro-style game! It was easy to get into, and my only complain is that it's very challenging to beat, which for some players is just how they like it!
Great job!
Really well made game! I really love the retro art-style, game play is simple and enjoyable. Great job!
