SynthEscape: A Synthwave-themed shoot 'em up, heavy on bullet grazing and 80s vibes.

Hey all!

SynthEscape demo is live! Hobby project of mine for the past year.
SynthEscape is a Synthwave-themed shoot 'em up, heavy on the 80s synthwave vibes, where grazing enemy fire charges your bullet-slowing field and builds your score.
Graze Bullets. Bend Time. Break the Future.

Hey Rabbidtomato!

I’ve just played it.
My score: 160,967, Rank C.

Great demo — nice atmosphere and beautiful graphics (do you use Ansimuz assets too? ). The boss’s death animation is really spectacular!

Only one remark: maybe consider adding more weapons?

[Rabbidtomato]

Haha, yes. Ansimuz's assets are extremely helpful for the more complex stuff! Thanks for playing!

Updated with a new video that goes a bit further into level 2 (stopping right before the level boss)

I also got some art commissioned and edited it together. Very happy with how it turned out.
