”With nicely aligned pixels” YES! I hate when pixel art doesn’t line up, and I adore the developers who take the time to make it actually render at a lower resolution and then scale it up. Which is exactly what I’m doing, with a few modifications. The height is exactly 180 pixels and doesn’t change, but the width can actually increase and decrease to support mobile devices. The games are built to look best at 16:9, but when I built the framework it was my intention that it should work for web platforms like poki who require that the game fits the whole screen. Also yes there should be a boss! It was on the original plan, but I spent way too much time making an overly complex system for controlling the lil shooters, and ended up with only one day for actual content making. I wrote a post mortem about this.
