That does work, thank you ! I hadn't thought to check the option. Also if I may suggest something else, I think a difficulty setting would be nice. By default, runs can last for a while, being able to make the game harder or easier would be helpful.

This is a wonderful game !
The pixel art and visual effects are beautiful, and the extra gameplay mechanics make the levels much more interesting and varied than traditional Pac-Man. The references to other Namco games are also great. This has become one of my favourite classic Pac-Man games.

I do have some complaints :
- The menus look a little basic and could use some extra polish. 
- This game really needs gamepad controls. I'd love to try the multiplayer modes, but having to rely on keyboard controls makes this difficult.

Hi everyone !

I've released a playable demo (15-20 minutes) of a game I'm working on : Galactic Busters.

Play it here : https://flytrapdev.itch.io/galactic-busters-demo

It's a single-screen platformer (similar to Bubble Bobble and Parasol Stars) for 1 or 2 players. There's also small shoot-em-up sections between each world.

Stun enemies with your hammer, then throw them at other enemies for more points ! You can also collect fruit and power-ups.

The game is presented in a "high-res" (640x360) pixel art style with detailed animations.

The music and sound effects are mostly royalty-free assets.

The demo includes :

• 15 platforming levels 
• 1 boss level
• 1 shmup section

Amounting to roughly 15-20 minutes of playtime.
You have unlimited credits, so no Game Over ! You can keep going after you die.

The demo is playable in the browser, or on PC (Windows and Linux).
Keyboard + gamepad both supported.

I'm still working on the game, development is not finished (I'd say about 25-30% of the game is done right now).
The demo is free but I intend to release the finished game commercially on itch, for a small price.

Please give it a try and tell me what you think !

Thank you !

Hi ! Thanks for playing the game.

The original iircade version should crash if you try to access the leaderboards.
The new version (available here) fixes this problem.

If it crashes somewhere else, I'm not sure what could be causing the problem...
Unfortunately I don't have an iircade cabinet to test this.

If there is a way to fix the original iircade release, I'm not aware of it...

Thank you ! I've sent you a friend request on Discord, my handle there is matthieulegallic

Hi !
I've built a new APK for the game, however I don't have an iircade cabinet to test it on.

It works in Bluestacks but I'd like to be sure it works on the actual machine before I release it.

Would you be willing to test the APK on your iircade cabinet ?
(If you have one, of course)

Hi !
I've tested the game, and it freezes when you try and access the leaderboards screen...

It's easy to fix, but I'll have to rebuild a new APK, which will take some time since I don't have the original development environment on hand anymore.

I'll rebuild the APK and upload it when I have some free time, I'll let you know when it's done ! :)

Hi, thanks for getting in touch !
That sounds great, I'm OK with releasing the original APK.
I'm not sure iiRcade would approve of this, but they're no longer in business anyway, so I doubt there will be any objections.

That being said, I'd like to test the APK on an emulator before I upload it here.
I want to make sure the game doesn't crash if it doesn't find the leaderboards.

When I'm done I'll upload the APK on here, I'll let you know when it's ready.

Hi !
Easy mode is normal mode with a few spikes and obstacles removed.
I think the most noticable difference is in the volcano area.
I don't remember all of the changes honestly, but indeed it's not very different from normal. Only slightly easier. ^^

The game was updated, there is a score system now

Hi, thanks for the feedback ! 

I'm working on an update which will add a score system :)

Hi !
If you are having performance issues you can try to play the game on the Lexaloffle website here :
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30643

I will put up an executable version if the game still runs slowly there.

I also updated the game to version 1.1
It now has an "easy" option, hopefully making the game less frustrating.
