Twin Stick Shooter 'Fuzeotron'

This looks like it will be a lot of fun - awesome sound too!

@SteveZX81 "The idea is to make it a kind of tribute to some of my favourite arcade games with me using a single sprite from each of them per level. It might not pass submission but I figure as its only one sprite per game and not a complete game clone it should be okay."

Worst case there's always good ol' friend share. I mean what I didn't say that

Working on the title page and the game now has a name!

I'm not convinced about the scrolling in info though, might just have it pop in (dislike the way it moves through the lights at the right side, looks messy)

This is looking like a lot of fun! I’ll be looking forward to it. I really like your title screen and the scrolling but agree about the lights - I think if it were me I’d draw a black box behind those lights so the text appears from just to the side.

@SteveZX81 You're going to need to re-name that Twitter account: you've graduated all the way from "Newbie" to "Total Boss" :D

If this is anything at all like Robotron I get the feeling we are going to get killed a lot

Wandering humans added and yeah the border fries them.
(not sure if Twitter's compression won't mess it up as they are tiny)

Those are adorable. Can't help feeling sorry for them, though...

Maybe you should give them each a distinct voice?

That would be neat but I don't think we have enough different assets like that but I'll have a look.

Edit: just checked and there are 4-5 but tbh some of them just don't appeal to me but I might be able to make them bearable by altering their play speed.

Edit2: what I've done now is give a slight speed randomness to the male sound which makes it change a little and added a female death sound. it is much better and seems a little more gruesome too. lol, thanks for the idea @vinicity

[SteveZX81]

Humans can now be rescued for a nice 1000 point bonus, also the death sounds have been tweaked and Kat has a female sound.

[vinicity]

@SteveZX81 Poor Kat!

[SteveZX81]

A couple of gameplay videos so you can see how it is looking.
