SHMUP-ish roguelike. Thought someone might get a kick out of it.

(Where does the SHMUP reference come in? The bullet dodging.)

3000 rooms?

Apparently. I haven't really played it to be honest. I just noticed the bullet patterns.

Lol shmups and roguelikes are the only games I play and I am developing a shmup and a roguelike but I NEVER got the idea to mix them together... thx for pointing this out

Can someone explain what is meant by "Roguelike"?

Ah, the keyword is "randomly generated rooms".

In turns, this reminds me of ZZT. Ah, the fun I had attempting to make my own adventures!

Boo! It needs a Mac version. Looks tight as hell though.

I enjoyed it. It's a bit too easy to accidentally go through doors which can get quite annoying. I didn't find myself dodging many bullets either since your attack wipes out most projectiles and you can buff up your shield quite a bit.

I didn't care for the gameplay.

A little bird told me the game will be open sourced fairly soon. You should be able to compile it yourself then.
