Game description
The real *hard* retro arcade shooter from the 80s ... find the secret, beat the game!
Theme interpretation
Space attack from planet pluto is a *hard* arcade shooter that needs more then 10 continous hours of perfect reaction to beat it...
- unless you find the secret cheat code.
- Hint: the only way to find the secret cheat code is by going to the github page and going through the source code there !
- I have tried to limit the palette to one color - red - but i wasn't perfect there - the dynamic lighting for the game however are all shades of red.
- finding the secret cheat code lets you go on an epic speed run!
- So i have tried to add all 3 wildcards.
- The first background space image was taken with my own telescope, but i switched it to a NASA picture as it's just so much more beautiful :)
- the download link is here on itch.io at

- the files have been virus checked with MS defender
<b> ***EDIT DEC 4 2024 Removed a bug that made the cheat code difficult to exploit ,buffed the player gun to continous fire, and upgraded to 64 Bit Builds for Win, Linux and Mac ***</b>
Wildcards used (optional)
Limit your colors to 4
Let players break the rules with things like infinite lives or invincibility

Cool game! I managed to get to wave 43 or something after a couple tries, forgot the score though. I like sound effects, and the background art is very beautiful. I do have to say it is extremely loud hahaha, but that's fixable. Also the game feels smooth in terms of movement and animation when moving right and left. Idk why but it was satisfying to play. I tried to use the cheat code by pressing the 4 letters at the same time but i'm not sure I did it correctly.
Cool concept. Keep up the good work!
Wave 43 is extremely good. Congratulations!
But my game is made with pygame.
A really nice mechanised game, the graphics are super realistic and enjoyable, I have also made my game in the similar genre, best of luck. I wished that there was a health bar instead of a single shot death.
yes , you are absolutely right :/ shame on me for no health model
Played and rated <3
A pretty entertaining gameplay experience with clear signs of great concepts in the making. Right now, it’s a solid demo, but this project has all the potential to become an outstanding game! Tweaking the difficulty and improving the visibility of enemies, among other things, could make it a strong contender in its genre. I’m guessing you already have plans for its development, and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Great job!
Thank you for your kind words <3 Downloading your game right now :)
Nice submission. I found the difficulty to be too hard, but I feel is the screen orientation was rotated vertically it would have helped giving a longer runway for enemies and tightening the playable space. Movement was fluid, but with shooting only 1 bullet per mouse click, it felt counterintuitive as my goal became "press the shoot button as fast as possible as long as possible".
TY so much! Youre right i buffed the player gun to continous fire - Thank you!!!
played and rated back!
Gameplay is fast and punchy and difficult. I wish I was better at this game lol
Impressive game haha. The gameplay without a cheatcode is actually pretty fun and I would have loved to see you lean in on that as it is a pretty punchy and nice sounding and looking space game. The cheatcode is pretty funny as I suspect almost no one can pull it off (I got it about 1 out of 100 times I tried it). You are expecting holding two keys down then frame perfect pressing of two other keys with a frame unlocked game. I don't think anyone but extremely experienced speed runners or FGC types can pull that off and even then, not with any consistency. Anyways I downloaded an autotyper to test it. It looks like the waves completed doesn't quite count correctly so I was at -thousands of waves remaining but only had 100 waves completed. Overall a pretty funny entry I had fun with it. Muiltiple levels of secrets.
Ups- i didnt know its that difficult, i will check it out . Thanks for letting me know!
Yea two of them were get keys and two were get key downs. Get key triggers if a key is currently pressed pressed but get key down only triggers on the frame it's called. So that's pretty hard to do. If you made three of them get keys it would work more easily.
you are absolutely right. i fixed the cheat code .Thx!!
I would love to try your game, but I am currently on mac. Could you upload a web or mac build?
Hi tiagojdf, i have built a mac version. x86 ok for you?
Sorry, it didn't work, says it needs to be updated. According to error message, seems to be a 32bit app, and newer versions of mac only run 64bit.

thanks Mate!
64bit build for Mac now online <3
Not bad. It is hard as you only start with one life. Was able to find the cheat code but don't know how to use it.
Classic retro feel with modern graphics
You are right; a more detailed damage model where not the first hit is a kill is right on top of my list. You use the cheat code by pressing the 4 keys of the cheat code at the same time; this warps you forward several attack waves. Thanks a lot for playing!
Buffed the player gun to continous fire
