Shooting Star
Shooting Star
It's a game coded with Pico-8. I really like this tiny game engine although I prefer open source projects.
At first it was just a way to learn to code Pico-8-games but my idea generator and motivator Bananicorn persuaded me. I will publish this game. And here I am. :)
Controls
Use LEFT and RIGHT button to move and C or the O button to shoot. That's it.
Gameplay
You need to shoot the enemies moving down from the top to earn points. If you get hit by an enemy you lose health but even if you don't get hit and they can get to the bottom of the screen you get any disadvantage in context to the color of the enemy.
It's not that difficult because I implemented a console like output on the top left. You'll experience the workflow and how to get huge scores. :)

Write me in the comments about your highscore and how you like the game. And if you change the code please show me your result. I'd be happy to see your improvements!
And I really like to see some ratings. It's so important to get seen in the mass of games. Thank you.
