Really enjoyed the arcade touch and the visual monster attacks, like if we are the bad guys controlling the scene. It hasn't really a goal per say, but it was amusing to try something different.
Galagan's Island, eh? Wonder what that's a reference to. Also wonder why your second screenshot is of you uploading the game to Itch. I'm afraid I can't say much about the game, as it kept controlling itself in very odd ways and left me unable to play.
Good game, Nice Job
@Pizzamakesgames screenshot of loading was due to scrappy internet service...weren't sure if the game would upload in time and this allowed us to show uploading during the official time limit. In regards to your control issues we clearly stated that we are fixing some bugs. The programmer is 14yrs old and just started high school this week....my son...he will be giving his bugs when he comes home from school. Thanks so much for your understanding. ?
@gene-z Thanks! Will have most of our bugs fixed by tonight as soon my son gets home from school.
Even if the gameplay is not always super clear, and if I miss a life bar for the hero ship (maybe I'm just blind..), I find the concept very unexpected! Being a boss in a Shoot them up is kinda cool :) Nice job
@soulgame thank you! Getting these stupid bugs fixed asap...mom made me go to bed early on Sunday and Monday was my first day of high school...so I had a bunch of errors I couldn't fix in time. Should have most of them addressed soon.
nice game but gameplay easy and flat
It is a nice twist on the old arcade vertical shooters but very poorly executed. The concept is sound but the control is very poor, the monsters have no special attacks (or i couldn't find one), there is no tutorial and nothing explaining the game controls. The monsters only have a poor autoattack and it feels like they do no considerable damage to the enemy.
I wish the controls were explained, monsters had more complex attacks and the AI wouldn't dodge so well. The music is ok, but there are no sfx.
A good attempt but it needs a lot of polish to be playable.

Los Pixelados
So my son had a pretty hectic first week of high school and only last night was finally able to get the chance to fix most of his bugs. Turned out a handful of issues were related to github errors on a merge...had a bunch of files get corrupted. Now that he's managed to get most of that fixed we will put together a new post sometime today.
@los.pixelados
The control is for gamepad only.
Meanwhile that's an awful big wishlist for a 14yr old to fill. Lol
I think overall he did at least a decent job of getting the game running...its a shame he had to have his first week of school at the same time...caused him to really be limited in the hours he had to program this.
I know he had sfx in the game, he may not have got them working properly though.
The controls are most definitely explained on the game's itch.io page...as well as a very small "tutorial" occurs in the ui.
Thank you for your kind words.
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
