Thank you so much!! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

I actually spent a lot of time working on the game mechanics, especially the boss attacks! Each boss has its own special attack, but its other bullet patterns can be slightly different every time you play.

I made a system with main bullet patterns and smaller sub-patterns. Every time a boss spawns, it randomly chooses which attack patterns to use, so even fighting the same boss again can feel a little different!

Also, the shield isn’t just for defense! You can actually throw it at enemies to deal damage. I got this idea from an old bullet hell game called Danmaku Death!

Thank you so much!! I’m really glad you liked my game!

I’ve actually spent a lot of time using Scratch before, so I’m pretty familiar with this kind of visual programming tool. That definitely helped me a lot when I started using MakeCode Arcade!

Some screenshots from games!

And yes, that’s Queen music! I got the MIDI from LazyTotodile’s YouTube channel and used a MIDI converter to turn it into music that MakeCode Arcade can play.
