Node Blaster - A silly little space shooter thing.

[Kingdaro]

So I return to the realms of love2d, with a sort of small project I've been working on in the past couple of days.

It's relatively simple; you're a ship, flying through space, and you shoot the enemies that fly down, trying to damage you on touch. Kill these enemies, and you get points. You can get more points by collecting the purple gems that they may drop (10% chance). There's also a powerful laser that appears later in the game.

Instructions are on the title screen. You have the choice of holding to shoot with autofire, or mashing the Z and X keys to shoot a little faster.
And yes, I know you can use an automatic relay, but it's your choice if you'd rather win over challenging yourself.

Heh, yep.

[Conan]

could you consider putting in a boss every 10 levels or so? the boss would shoot little enemies that have low health (equivalent to enemy bullets, but destroyable)

or even better the ability to change the controls because my left forefinger and middle finger is getting extremely tired

This on Android/iOS would be pretty much perfect.

You also have the option of using WASD and the K and L keys. I feel like any sort of options menu would complicate things a little bit.

On the subject of a boss...I'll think about it.

Totally.

Lol'd. I'm actually thinking about making a sidescroller myself soon. We'll see.

[Conan]

mashing l/k and z/x at the same time really ups your damage output by like 4x

i have yet to get a high score though because of those GODDAMN LASERS and not knowing where the insta-kill zone in them lies.

[Yosher]

EDIT: i love how this turns into touhou jr. after a while
really fun
