I’ve been making a game for a while, and now its in a state that id like to release.

It probably could use a better name though.

_Controls_:

Arrow Keys/Joystick - Move your character

A: Fire a projectile, purchase things

B: Regain Ammo

Menu/`/~: Freeplay

Thanks for using my music! I don’t remember it being that slow, but great game you made! I think it’d be better if you could reload just a _bit_ more ammo? Otherwise it’s still an amazing game!

DEMO 2.2 UPDATE

This feature is too big to wait for completing the levels

Changes:

Added Orange to shops

Changed the Points of some Relics in Shop 6 (Before 3rd Boss)

New Relic: Relic 0 (Gain +0.25 Ammo when you defeat an enemy) to Shop 1 (Before 1st Boss) and Shop 7 (After 3rd Boss)

PRICE SCALING: _All_ Relics (but not Shop Keys) increase in price with each purchase. This feature specifically **really** needs feedback to be good. (Pressing the Menu button to access Freeplay will be very helpful if you want to see this feature)
