1 Bit Shmup
Retro style shoot'em up game involving cat-like creatures and UFOs.
Controller recommended for gameplay.
Press A to shoot and hold RT (Right Trigger) to fly slow. I could not figure out how to get focus shot to work but I plan on taking this concept further in future development and appreciate the encouragement and support.
Keyboard controls: use arrow keys, and F key to shoot. R to restart, ESC to quit
This is my first game and first game jam so there may be unexpected bugs as I am still learning the basics, but I wanted to participate. Created for 1BitGameJam 2023

The GameJam voting is still happening so per the rules I won't update the file right now, but I have added a Points/Score system, and Boss healthbar and fixed the position of the bullets. I will build a new version that contains all the updates, more levels, bosses etc, thanks for encouraging me to push further on this project. In the end will be a full game.
Very simple and fun. I enjoyed the gameplay. I like the art style. I think it compliments well with the type of game you made. Overall awesome entry.
thank you!
I really liked it! I think the whole theme was cohesive and the art was great! I liked the music too, it fit really nicely.
It was obvious to me that with a controller scheme setup, it only allowed me to move in 8 directions rather than analog movement, which I found a little frustrating when I was trying to avoid bullets.
I would describe this as a retro bullet hell which I love :)
Thanks for the feedback, I watched a few tutorials to get the movement down, since this was my first game so will learn how to improve the controls in the future projects.
nice simple but cool
thanks!
Damn, that's pretty good for first game and gamejam. Good job!
Agreed
thank you
