Had a lot of fun with the original game on Pico8. I must say i was not 100% convinced by what i originally saw on kickstarter. But now that i see the current game status, i could not resist and pre-ordered it. Can't wait to play this awesome shmup, It takes me back to my Galaxian/Galaga/Defender days on Arcade :)
Thank you for your comment and for your pre order! :)
I must say it was my first kickstarter and I think I made the mistake of showing the idea too early (among others) . I think that now that we are approaching the end, what was in my head is finally beginning to be seen as it should ;P
Galaga/Galaxian/Defender are big influences for this game! In fact, everything started thinking how Galaga would work in horizontal... and adding some power ups as in R-type/Gradius ;)
I think we will have a worthy successor to the original Galactic Wars, l'm looking forward to release the game and have your impressions!
THANKS!
That's exactly what i was thinking. On your kickstarter, the videos are far from reflecting the videos which are here on itchio. And i told myself "wow, this is not the same game !". Whatever, you obviously know how to capture the essence of Old 8 bits shooters, And yes you've made it. You're true impressive game dev ! I do not play AAA games anymore. I prefer to buy Indie Games made by Coders having the passion inside. Many thanks for bringing all this fun to us ;)
