schildm8 - PICO8 shmup gamejam

How to play

• Fire regular weapon with X, EX weapon with O
• Touch an enemy projectile to activate the shield
• Collect enemy projectiles while the shield is up to power up, chain kill enemies to extend shield duration
• Once the shield runs out you are in danger, avoid projectiles until the shield reboots
• As long as the shield is active the multiplier goes up, enabling higher scores and more damage output (missing cuts the next multiplier activation in half)
• Lasers will drain your shield
• After every time you defeat the boss enemies will become stronger and new stage layouts and enemies are introduced
