Egg Rescue

Egg Rescue, a love letter to Gradius made solo in 72 hours from scratch for Ludum Dare 46.

Fly through space just like the in the classics as you face off against enemy fighters, weird movement patterns, turrets, at least one mini-boss, and endless frustration!

Arrow keys or WASD to move, space to shoot. For convenience & accessibility, there's an option to use hold to shoot instead of press to shoot in the settings on the main menu, which is turned on by default. Turn this feature off if you want the true button mashing, space bar breaking experience.

Now defend that egg, no matter how many lives it takes!

Current web version is 1.2

Change Log

1.2: Bug fixes to menu fade effect (effect was being re-triggered by the egg "dying" multiple times), bug fix to volume control settings (slider to 0 now actually mutes instead of making the sounds louder), Hold to Fire made the default, egg damage indicator now appears on egg hits, final boss second phase now actually activates, and killing the boss triggers the end screen (whoops).

1.1: Bug fixes to menu UI (can now click the return-to-menu button on the death screen, fades properly, settings & back button will no longer scale infinitely large by repeatedly opening and closing the settings)

1.0: Original release
