Utterly inspired by the Toho project and what Blackhole made recently, this is the result of a contest against a friend of mine.

The game

I removed the song to cut download size, but if you want any put an MP3 file named "pcb20.mp3" in the music folder.

The font is somewhat hard to read.

For reference's sake, I'll link the particular specimen Kawa cited (which is a half-day experiment on parsing module files into bullet hell levels) and the latest sample of the original game based on that engine, being kind of unplayable on non-German keyboards thanks to the keyboard configuration (page about it).

Back on the topic of this game, interesting enough approach, but if you are going for vertical scrolling, you should make the view higher than broad or at least square; it seems to make more sense from a gameplay point of view in my experience.

Thanks for the suggestion. It'll need a good place to put the score and such anyway, without obscuring the bullets.

As for the font, I'm open to suggestions.


Edit: I also take scripts. If you can code an interesting pattern, please put it up here. Angle-based movement of bullets is up next, replacing the current system of horizontal and vertical delta values.

It does remind me about the shoot em up game I made once too... although mine was very boring graphically and gameplay wise. ("objects" was just created randomly, along the X axis from the top of the screen... and all you could do was dodging them)

I made the gameplay area somewhat square with a side bar. It also uses DejaVu as a font for readability.

I got the angle based movement in and all that, and it tracks the highest amount of frames you've survived (defaults to 9000).

Holding shift in keyboard play lets you go a little faster, but that makes manouvering harder.

Joystick support is in, and if it's analog input you can do the shift thing by pushing it all the way out.

The bad news? I'd better not continue with this for a while and focus on OpenPoke. I'll post the latest version here if you want it.
