This is a little 5 min shooter i made.
You can change color and collect bullets like in ikaruga.
Maybe the object number is a bit too much, but i wanted to test whats possible with blitzmax .
That's pretty cool. And yeh you're right, it does get a bit frantic, but not completely unmanageable if you keep getting yourself in the rings and streams and turning everything into gold. The thing that kept catching me out was swapping shield colours when you started to fire if I was concentrating on taking out the enemies. In fact I found it easier to play by not firing at all except for tapping the button to change colours.
If you're interested in shooter development you should join us over at shmup-dev (link in my sig). We'll be starting up our next shooter development competition very soon, it'll be fun.
