Shippy
Destroy enemy planes and avoid the spotlight... or not.
If you fly through the spotlight, more enemy planes will charge at you!
Controls:
Click, tap screen, SPACE or UP ARROW to fire. Firing will change the direction your plane flies.

I've included Shippy in my LRJ video @ 2:17:05
I love how the spotlight lets you make some 'risk/reward' decisions. Nice work!
Thanks Matt, glad you liked it. Indeed the spotlight is great at first to ramp up your score but the more planes spawn, and the faster they become, the harder ir is to make use of it.
Also, big fan, love your work!
Thanks! I came here to try your game after seeing your comment on the Switch 'N' Shoot page. 😁
Nice, I like the single button control setup.
Thank you, glad you had fun.
Very clean and simple game.
The single button controls made it work great on mobile. It's pretty addictive.
Thank you, glad you liked it. I was sad the first release had an input mapping issue and touchscreen tap wasn't working. A quick hotfix sorted it right away :)
It's so simple yet so damn fun. I love it!
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Cool game. The spotlight is smart and the difficulty is well balanced.
Thanks. Glad you found it balanced.
Pros:
- Changing directions when shooting is a cool idea and it feels good
- Art style is coherent and it looks nice
- Hitting enemies feels good
Cons:
- I feel like getting claustrophobia playing, wish the objects were a bit smaller on the screen
Overall I enjoyed playing it, well done!
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I'm glad you liked it.
And I totally agree about the sprite size. I made all of them in GIMP but didn't realize how big they were for a 64x64 game until I imported them in Godot. I was quite tight on time so decided to just roll with them.
Neat idea. Controls work well. You did a lot with 64x64 AND 1 bit color.
Thank you for the feedback!
