Air Combat: https://ractive.github.io/air-combat/
Collect powerups, bombs and hearts to make it through the final battle against enemies in the air, on ground and on the sea.
How to play:
Press and hold button B to shoot and drop bombs with A (if you collected any).
Collect the green powerups to upgrade your weapon and to get points.
The hearts will give you more lifes (max. 5). If you got shot or collide with an enemy, first the weapon upgrades are destroyed before you loose a life.
Code

Contributions are welcome. Some nicer artwork, some better tuned levels and more types of enemies would always be nice.
Very cool Game!
Unfortunately it doesn’t run on my Meowbit.
I noticed a lot of games posted here don’t run on Meowbit (it seems to be weaker than other boards) so maybe it would be smart to have tags for verified / tested hardware.
I didn’t even realize that’s so easy to add more players.
Check it out and tell me if the two player mode is usable.
BTW: Does anyone know if you can detect at runtime if the game runs on a platform that supports multiple players? Are there even platform besides the browser that support this?
Raspberry Pi 0 does support multiplayer too, not just browser. If we’re just checking browser & pi vs other devices, easiest is just checking against ram - e.g. here is where we limit the number of particle effects:
