Hey there sackfolk! This is a top-down space shooter that I've been working on for a long time now, and it's finally playable!

It's a lot like johnee's "Blast Radius", so if you've played that before, you'll see the similarities.

I still need to update the title/ menu screen and make some FX look better, but it's fully playable (and fun!)

Now, like most levels in the creative cosmos, it was designed for 1 player. In other words, don't play it with other players if possible (that is, if you want the best experience).

Of course, it has my music. Another thing to note is that it's HARD. It seems easy at first, but after a minute it gets hard as a diamond encrusted rubix cube. So if you think space shooters tend to be too easy, try this one out.

Enjoy, and please rate, review, and/or comment!

Hey, this was good!

I loved the way the stars were gradually revealed and occluded, it was very atmospheric. I also like how, if you replay, you can skip the intro with "X". I replayed this more times than I do in most other levels!

Some suggestions:
It takes a short while for the action to start, maybe get it going earlier?
It might look even better if the ship rotates to point in the direction it fires?
Spawning in the middle of asteroids and enemies makes sad faces - can this be tweaked?

Overall, I love what you have done - it must have a lot of logic going on and emitters for Africa. Thanks for making a fun level!
