It can be played single or in co-op of 2 players.Each ship has two modes that can be switched, modifying their weapons and their speed. Fight against fleets through space in seven stages drawn in pixel art, to the sound of synthesizers in the most classic retro style.
History
It all started a few years ago, to be exact 4 years. I had been fired from my job, and instead of feeling frustrated by it, I felt a joy that I had left a job that I enjoyed so much. Or at least I thought I liked it.
For a few weeks I thought about it, and I came up with the question, "Why do I work with programming?". I remembered then why I decided to learn to program, "to make games".
You may say it is a child's dream, but sometimes you have to try. Since then I have been working alone. I program, I draw, I compose music. I decided to change my life, from working fixing bugs in a company, to working alone in my bedroom developing a retro game.
