it's definitely better with music! i intentionally left this without music so that a user could have their own playing along with it if they wish. this was just a little experiment that seemed fun. fractals would definitely be cool! i'm just starting out with coding, so i will have to see if it's as easy as you say! :)

GREAT GAME! tons of retro jump-and-shoot goodness! great soundtrack and well designed levels and bosses!
