Thank you! Yes, pico-8 is tough but very rewarding. The freedom and control you get are really good. I gave up on Unity after the controversy and picked Godot, but because I loved Lua with pico-8, I'm thinking of going with Love 2d as it uses Lua.
You should give PICO-8 a shot! There's an education version which is free I think.
In the current setup, the game uses WASD for movement and the arrow keys for shooting bullets.
For me, it's a bit difficult to manage both at the same time. I think it would be simpler if the game used the arrow keys for movement. Then, when the other key (let's say 'X' for now) is held down, pressing the arrow keys would launch bullets in the direction of the arrow pressed. This would make the controls easier and more intuitive for me.
Was I able to explain it well now?
The controls felt a bit confusing. I don't know what the norm is but I would have loved to hold one key and then use the same movement keys to attack!
Now that's out of the way, I'm a sucker for retro games, especially 1 bit, and you've done a really good job with every single aspect of the game! Amazing!!
