Space Hero

I always liked 2D space shoot 'em ups.

My influences are R-Type, Xenon II - Megablast, and anything by Jeff minter of Llamasoft.  There are many more.

This is an early demo/prototype.

It's a good old fashioned side scrolling space shooter.... well I hope it's good... anyway. I have way more levels, power ups, ideas in the pipeline. But I'm just getting started.

This is just a hobby for me.  As my health has taken a few knocks recently... and I find video games and game development therapeutic.  At least in small doses.

This game is my first game in years.  So I'm re-learning game dev.  A lot has changed over the years, since I last made games.  But I hope I'm making progress.

Hope people like this.  Constructive feedback much appreciated.
