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

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

@SteveZX81 Poor Kat!

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

a nod to the greatest shooter of them all 'Defender'. Shooting red spawners will drop 4 very fast and very deadly spores now.

I am so desperate to play this but am struggling for time - Steve, it looks truly stunning.

Invincible 'Recognisers' now added, they change the gameplay a bit as they can shield the enemy from your shots!
(idea from Martin, thanks!)

Not yet but hopefully it'll be finished soon-ish as there's not a ton left to do.

Image of the enemies for level 1-24 (25 is the last level and is a boss fight)

OMG! The Burger Time sausage! And the Ladybug bugs! I love those!

Great job with the sprites. Really, really nice...

SteveZX81

Little clip to show you. First it shows a bit of level 24 (Missile Command sprite) and then it goes to level 25 which is the last level.
Part 1 is a battle with all the sprites you've fought already but this time they are bigger, faster and tougher.

Part 2 coming soon.

This looks really fun! I love dual-stick shooters!

vinicity

It look fabulous indeed!

Question for those more intelligent than me, is there a way to offset the sprite collision shapes?

I have this 73x73 sprite and as you can see the image is at the top (it's that size because it rotates and the center of the sprite is the rotation axis)

But if the collision shapes are all centered on the sprite, no idea how I can have the collision shape in the purple bits only? any ideas?
