Hey, thanks for checking it out! Glad you had fun :)
I took a lot of inspiration from those old games, for sure. Oh, and my take on the theme was to make CHAOS into the titular acronym: Can Hippos Achieve Outer Space? I like to think of themes as guides or inspirations, but I'm always willing to sacrifice the rating on that metric in favor of doing something more interesting for me and less bound by the theme.
