Wow! I’ve just noticed that I spent quite some time to beat your game!

I truly enjoyed it, the power up system allows you to plan the gun strategy: normal VS moon shot and the new option helpers that are super handy specially for the final boss.

I have just a couple of comments/questions:

  • the first one is about the items spawning, I got very few items during some plays that made me die quickly when I reached the end of the stage. How does the randomness of the items of your game work?

  • I got confused about the background and the bullets in the second level (the red sky and yellow stars), sometimes it was difficult to spot properly them.

Definitely a great shoot’em up, beautiful art, epic music with some Evangelion kind of vibe.

Really well done!

PS: I’ve attached the proof that I made it through and my score. I invite you to beat my game too, way easier than yours but also can be a bit challenging.

Thanks a lot for your comments, and congratulations for making it to the end of the game! Just for curiosity, do you have an idea of how long you tried? (I finished it myself but I had many training when I designed the bosses and the levels, plus I know what exactly are the patterns of the bosses… so it is difficult to evaluate the time needed to beat it for a normal player)

For the power-ups spawning, each enemy has a probability to spawn a power-up (this probability depends of the enemy type). I tried to define these probabilities so that one always gets enough power-ups but not too much. However, in the end, I think that it would have been better to just hardcode which enemy spawns a power-up and which does not.

I agree with you for the background of the second level.

I don’t know exactly, probably around 2 hours in total. Yesterday I played roughly 45 minutes and today the rest. I reached the second level quite easily but some way or another always got hit, lose the power-ups and get too weak for the bosses. Today I gave it another try and planned better the power-ups, reaching the final boss of the second level full equipped with the normal shot (I made a screenshot) and was easy enough, but the journey to get there with that was quite challenging.

Thank you for the explanation about the spawning, I really appreciated :)
