Galactic year 2387. Things have been rather dull on your first assignment for the Star Corps, patrolling a quiet trade route. Suddenly a massive, deadly Zorlon swarm appears, seemingly from nowhere, and you're the only thing standing between it and a nearby peaceful planet. You frantically punch out a distress call, but a sinking feeling in your gut tells you help might not come soon enough. Well, time to blast as many as you can...

This is my attempt at fitting a simple shmup into <=500 characters for Tweet Tweet Jam 10. Shoutout to Krystman, whose Youtube shmup tutorials were a big inspiration.

Thank you. I've been playing around with ideas for a shmup for a while, but I'm not a super difficult shooter fan and I'm honestly more interested in the whole feeling of traveling into space. I think I'm going to work on some non-size-limited experiments.

I share that sentiment, and your background IS really nice. Have developing that game :)
