I'm up late tonight (and almost every night) because I can't stop working on this game.

If you like arcade games, you might like it.

If you try it, I'd love to know what you think!

@viTekiM Love the retro analog aesthetic!

A few technical issues:
* the macOS download only contained the innards of the app bundle, not the bundle itself – I made my own .app bundle and extracted it into that and it worked
* might be a Unity issue, but the joystick input was reversed on my steelseries nimbus controller, and upside down if I selected “reverse joystick” in settings. Also, the menu button was the only one on the controller the configurator would recognize. (cont…)

@viTekiM So take my next feedback with a grain of salt because I was trying to play with a mouse.

Having to balance fire rate with stability/maneuverability is a good mechanic that allows players to become more effective as they gain skill. 👍🏻

Bouncing off the walls (as opposed to wrapping around) made it feel sort of hectic/cramped (not a bad thing imo), but seems like it’s too easy to just sit in a corner, only having to move occasionally to dodge shots, at least early on.
