Star Juggler (LOWREZJAM, FFSJam)
About
In this game you pilot Star Juggler, a spacecraft which can throw and catch Stars.
Face countless enemy as they face you from every direction.
Controls:
- The ship moves to the Mouse position when present or can be controlled manually using the Keyboard ASDW/Cursor Keys
- Click/Ctrl throws a Star, it charges up when held
- You can shoot in any of 8 directions. Try Easy/Normal mode to see a guideline
