Space pirates!! What a fun game! I really liked how unique this boss-battle mechanic was. Such a great idea to dodge your own bullets - especially for the boomerang theme. It took me until level 7 or 8 to realize I was supposed to be shooting a TON of bullets so that I could kill the kraken behind me. Overall, really fun stuff. Had a great time with this one.

Piraaaates !! Yes, I deliberately chose a very small scope to make sure I could deliver something. There simply wasn’t enough time to start working on level design with enemy waves and all that, so I kept it as a pure progressive asteroid experience, with the kraken being a bit hidden and more implied than fully present. I’m not really sure about the game’s balance but I think that’s normal.
I think adding a few bonus shooting pattern variations could make it even better :)
Thanks again for the test and your feedback! <3
