Oh, it's that guy again with his horrible bullet-hell games
DOWNLOAD VERSION 0.4http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48264981/LSS%200.4.zip (16.7 MB)Arrows to move, Z to shoot, Shift to focus, X to bomb.The engine was built from scratch this time, so go easy on the technical details this time! I have no spriting experience~~~ The bosses in the game so far are all trapezoids that read "Placeholder Boss Sprite."Can someone please come up with some spaceships for it? Thaaaaaaanks~(there are only three, two are bosses and one is a midboss)Since the game only has five stages, I'm terminating the demo at the end of 2-2.The game will be both polished and severely unpolished.I realize how that sounds but bear with me.It was started from scratch a little under a month ago, and I've never had the development cycle go this fast.YouTube videos (slightly old) :Random runs:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frg9QReuyywStage 1-1, 1-2, and first boss:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSKavO2s2asScreenshots of what is to come:
Man, I tried this and I can safely say, I had no idea what was going on when Level 2 started…
These are not for me.Is Level 2 1-2, or 2-1?
Anyway, I completely understand :)My other ventures will probably be more suited to you, probably.As soon as I make more progress in them.probably stage 1-2, but I'll play it again to check :U
EDIT: nope, it was stage 2-2(just replayed it now lol)Oh, well, hey. You almost beat it, then!
2-2 can be referred to Stage 2, Level 4, or the second level of the second stage, so you see how it gets confusing :LThis version doesn't even allow for extra lives because I'm thinking on setting the first extend for 50,000,000 or so points.But seeing as the scoring threshold is lower than I projected the first extend might be about 20,000,000 points instead.That…. You did manage somewhere around there, right?Anyway, good job, and thank you for playing.If you can get as far as Stage 2-2, then beating Saeiretore would be a matter of good resource management up until then.Don't do what I do and bomb things that require no effort to dodge, is what I'm saying :Dyayyyy ^_^
I seem to recall looking up during a calm-ish moment in stage 2-1 and seeing something along the lines of 10,500,000 points, but it definitely went higher than that afterwards..It's kind of hard to see what the final score is when the game restarts the instant the player dies… :/Have to say though, I've enjoyed all the versions of Lunacy Star I've played. Even with all the bullets filling the screen. Although it does make me slightly sad that I die if I look away from the playing area for an eighth of a second. :c
