COSMIC CLANKRS!
by 8bitPidge
update with all the new features! enjoy!
-new features & tweaks:
-32bit integer scoring for bigger and better numbers
-nicer explosions with fillp()
-new enemy type with unique attack pattern
-slightly different scoring (better in my opinion) with +score for bullet hits,different small star drop counts & different (and bigger) enemy scores
-bullet fire rate increases as you get more big stars in super mode
relevant for this version only:
-if you get a score over 1000000 then the UI doesn't overlap
Cosmic Clankrs is a tiny, retro-ish shmup with modern-ish features and mechanics
controls:
x to shoot,
z to bomb if you have any small stars:
[8x8]
SUPER MODE:
-from when you collect 6 big stars
your bullets deal more damage,spread and turn blue.You also earn extra small stars per enemy defeated
-if you get 10 big stars then you get a 1UP and your shots go back to normal
BOMB:
-if you have any big stars, you can bomb, if you have enough big stars,then you can bomb multiple times in a row but with less and less power
[8x8]
items and mechanics:
-lots of small star 'medals' drop after defeating each enemy, collect them for score (+100 each)
-big stars drop less frequently atfer an enemy gets defeated, they increase the SUPER MODE/BOMB meter
[8x8]
tips and tricks!:
about:
In case you couldn't already tell, this is a shmup based on the @LazyDevs simple shmup tutorial series, but I did try to make Cosmic Clankrs feel like it's own game by adding features such as the star medals or super mode. During 'development' i was trying to make this as different from the LazyDevs tutorial as i could because i wanted to make something that was my own,I know there are still obvious similarities between Cosmic Clankrs and Krystman's Cherry Bomb but hopefully I made a different enough experience to make this game feel unique!
Note:
I really like how the art came out especially since I've been doing pixel art on and off for 2 years or something like that?I hope you guys feel the same :)
also this post is kinda hard to organise and make things look nice idk, this is my first game on here

-also i haven't uppdated the gifs yet so they are not accurate to this version of the game
-there is a bug with the big star counter where you can get more than 1 point per star but i'll
update the cart as soon as i figure out a solution
