Hi all :)
Here's a small arcade-y thing I've made using a couple of weeks of after-work-hours time. It started as just "Oh hey, I wanna make sprites with better shading than I usually do, and in a green/orange style like ZeroRanger" - then I made something vaguely in the direction of Gunbarich/The Lost Shield/Ghox/etc...
Basic premise: you're a typical shmup ship, but you've used up all your ammunition. So what do you do? Eject chemically-volatile Fuel Cores from your engine and use the thicc end of your ship as a paddle. Obviously.
