Trying not to make excuses but ...this was a really hard " 1 week" to do my second ever game jam! I am also learning a completely new coding language, Love2D... this is too short of a time but I tried my best to really make something that spoke to the theme.
The list of things that I need to add and extend in this game are so long it would make no sense to try to list them out.
If you try it and enjoy it, I hope you comment below - I'm trying to be proud of this, but it's pretty much a playtest at this point... Game on, shmuppers!

Heck yeah, congratz on the release!
Haha thanks ... Release is a strong word... I think this game needs a hell of an overhaul... 😆
A crimes against humanity version is acceptable in the name of gameplay SCIENCE! :)~
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yay! New aktane game! This one was pretty interesting, the art style is kind of all over the place, but i weirdly like that? The idea of the crew gathering weapons and deploying is fun, but i feel like if you go any further than one upgrade the game becomes absolutely impossible, since not only are enemy shots faster, the final boss just gets a lot harder too. Like always im not really a fan of the patterns, sideways bullets just feel... off. I also don't really like the pattern that shoots straight down, you can easily ignore it. The music was pretty cool!
I'd rather play crossgunr tho
Also, what happened to tank-kun????Thanks for the feedback! CrossGunr was made in like 8 weeks vs a week so I had a lot more time 😄.
I hope other gamers will try the upgrades, they're a fun challenge for those who want more spice and scoring.
