This project began as an entry for LD31, though it was not at a playable state in time to be submitted to the compo or the jam. But I liked the game idea and had a good start so I ran with it and am continuing development on it to see where it ends up!
Created using Löve2d. Check their Getting Started guide for instructions on getting the game running on your platform.
The game is best played with a Gamepad, standard twin-stick controls for moving and shooting, the R1/L1 buttons change the shield and ship colors. There are keyboard controls, 'wasd' does movement, left/right arrows do rotation, up fires, down flips the ship 180º 'q' and 'e' change ship and shield colors.
