Also apologies for the "1st post spam" but all I do is lurk really (and this forum has been really helpful over the years!).

Thanks!

an intense action/shooter made by Badcomputer

• 5 stages, plus 2 bonus stages
• Over 40 unique enemies, mid-bosses and huge end-stage bosses

Wow this looks beautiful. Really utilizes the system's palette well.
Unfortunately I don't think I have any way to play it on my SMS. Are you planning a cartridge release? Also, does it expect 50 or 60hz?

Thanks! I've agreed a publishing deal for a physical version but the date of release is not confirmed yet. I'll post it on my x account (https://x.com/badcomputer0) once it's confirmed.
