Welcome and thank you for downloading this little demo I made for the SHMUP-DEV Horizontal Scrolling Competition. The game is simple to play. All you have to do it shoot the enemies and pick up the blue power orbs they leave behind. The more orbs you get, the more powerful your ship becomes.

Controls:

Arrow keys: Move
Ctrl/Z/Space: shoots

If you hold down shoot, you face the same direction, no matter which direction you are moving. This is handy for backing away from enemies and shooting at the same time. If you let go of shoot, the ship faces the direction you are moving.

The different EXEs are for different screen resolution. eg. Funky1280f is 1280x1024 fullscreen.


Now for some big thank yous:

Kim - for motivating me, keeping me company and leaving me alone to brood when things don't work.
Gav - ideas and playtesting. What grand ideas we had! Maybe we will finish a game someday.
