Nice game, with funny opponents. The difficulty is quite high, but maybe it is just me being bad at shoot em ups. Anyway, that was really fun, congratulations !
Whoah, those are some really tough Emojis!
If I started shooting an Emoji as soon as it appeared on screen, I could just barely kill it before it left the screen. The power ups helped, but I'd step their health down by about 50% or more.
It does change the formula from your traditional Shmup a bit though. It's less about clearing the screen by hitting every enemy and more about picking a path through and clearing just the few enemies you need to get by.
Otherwise, lots of fun! Super cute art, and the enemy dispatch patterns had a nice variety to them.
one last quibble, I didn't hear any sound effect for when I shot, wasn't sure if that was deliberate or a bug or maybe I was just not hearing it over everything else that was going on, but it seems like the player gun should make a sound.
it can be done if you find the smart bombs and hold on to the power ups...but ye its a wee bit hard atm 😅
Really fun game! Pretty easy to learn, but very challenging at the same time.
Cool game. To anyone is having trouble getting it to load like I was, I found to take about two minutes. Worth the wait if you enjoy space shooters :)
Thanks for waiting (yikes) I mistakenly used flac for the soundtracks. The MYSHMUP admin is kindly going to help me optimise the load time...👍
