Nice! I'm a picky gamer, but a good oldschool game always makes me happy. This makes me think of rRootage mixed with Robotron, and I love both of those games. Damn I'd love to see this ported to OpenDingux and my RG350!!
Hey, this was really fun! I found it via the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. I actually just started a youtube channel for playing through all those games and this was the second one we picked. It was really cool! Here's the video:
Is this game still in development or is it not getting any more updates? My thoughts:
Fork is fascinating, probably the most interesting side power that I've seen in a roguelite shooter as of late!
Null Pulse is awkward to have only one sound effect for its four shots
The first boss's remains should show a tutorial popup telling you you can pick up the items; I completely missed them because the popup only shows when you stop moving (and I thought they were loot so that they'd auto-pick-up). Alternatively, the popup text could be configured to show when you pass over stuff, even if you don't actually stop moving.
It just needs a lot more effects/media. The game feels incomplete because of lack of audio, muzzle flashes, etc. There is a ton of potential but it seems like an alpha or beta that I'm playing so far.
Sorry about that. This should be fixed in the latest patch.
If you manually downloaded the zip file, you'll have to re-download and extract the zip file to get the update. (running through the itch.io app should automatically pull the update by default)
It looks like you had to have 1) the right weapons to pull that off 2) were within a certain range of levels and 3) get a specific type of boss spawn. I pushed a new build to safeguard against this in future, so I'm fairly confident you won't run into that again.
Anytime, I actually really love this game and I'm glad I got the chance to play it, will play it tons more. Specifically, it was the short range, somewhat wide laser, I think I had it on both Primary and Secondary and fired as fast as possible on the boss.
The menu gets cut off at the bottom in 1600×900 and I can't scroll down with the scroll wheel to show the rest (the line with the word "Graphics" only displays the top half of its text).
I also don't understand what the keyboard graphic is for in the top-right corner of the ship selection box before starting a round, as I can't seem to interact with it on any level.
I just pushed a fix for the options screen so that menu will scroll if it's cut off.
The game supports both controller and mouse/keyboard and it tracks the control method for high scores for a run, so that icon just indicates the control method for the run. I suppose it doesn't make sense if you don't have any supported controllers plugged in, so I also hid it in that case and added a tooltip when it's visible.

Fun game with lots of different weapons and powers to combine and experiment with. I like the music, too.
I just wish there were more unlockables, since I'm pretty sure I unlocked everything I could in the first hour or two.

I'm not currently working on adding new content at this time, but I won't say never.
Thank you for the feedback
Fantastic!
If you kill a boss before the second one spawns it seems to break the level so you can't leave. Otherwise I love the game.

Thanks for playing!
It seems that it can multiply itself sometimes....
Somethin' ain't quite right here....
Yeah... that's not supposed to happen. That sounds like a fun bug until it stopped, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I might have fixed this with the latest patch. Not sure.
Thanks for the feedback!
I just got stuck in a level because I killed the boss too fast...
R.I.P. Best Run So Far
Bummer :(
