Bleepbit Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Finally my tiny tribute to Phoenix!

sometimes99er Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Very high graphics quality - as usual. Well executed. Very cute. Love it. The alien bomb always appears just on top of you - even if there's no alien there !? One strategy then, is to move to one side for a while and then to the other. I think it would be much more challenging if the bomb was somewhat randomly off from right over spaceship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleepbit Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thank you! I chose this solution to prevent the player from sitting still waiting for the aliens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Bummer, I have to go to work now, so I'll have to play later. Looks good so far though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleepbit Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 It's just a tribute not a real porting, but I tried to do something that looked like it in every stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospect Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 This is a fantastic game, Bleepbit! I played it this morning and enjoyed it. Are there sprites involved or is it all character graphics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mix: - stages 1, 2 and 5 the aliens are chars, the player starship is a sprite (to have 2 colors) and the bullets are allways sprite but moved like chars to intercept the aliens - stages 3 and 4 only sprites 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
