Ha, funny you should say that! Cause I had this idea for creating a squad-based shmup. And pre-jam when I was doing research, I found out about that game Mercenary Force/Tenjin Kaisen. And after that it did influence me a bit. But just because it align so well with what I already had in mind. Especially in terms of art styling; the bridges, buildings and the simple 2-frame animations. I have no issues with your comparison, because it's exactly true! :)
Thank you. And yeah I was told it was a little slow, and I tried to improve as much as I would dare. In my mind was also that it's ultimately a jam game; I'd rather people play an easy version they can see the whole of, than a more challenging version they might give up on.
Thank you for the feedback!
