Our own entry to the Shmup-Dev Autofire Shooter Compo. A 2 player manic-shooter in the likes of Strikers 1945, Dodon Patchi and a cute-em-up from the likes of Parodius and Harmful Park. Gameplay: This game uses an original RFG system. (R)apid (F)ire (G)rowth. This system does not rely on power-ups that you can get by killing enemies. Instead you power up your fire power by continously pressing the fire key. The RFG meter will slowly go up when you press the fire button. As the meter levels up, your fire power will increase. Stop firing and your meter goes back to zero. Once you RFG meter reaches level 6, the RFG gauge will blink and your character will fire either the wave beam (Rhemi) or the Homing missiles(Teija). Having a full RFG meter would allow you to fire your special shots: Rhemi: "Jelly deflector". This acts as a shield and stops the enemies' bullets. It also deflects bullets to the enemies and damages them 3 times the original bullet energy. This also acts as a score multiplier. Teija: "Borken laser". This is a fast homing laser that damages enemies continously until the enemy dies or the laser looses energy. Also acts as a score multiplier. Destroys all active bullets on screen at an instant for defensive purposes.

Thanks for the feedback.

What do you mean by your bullets travelling upwards half the time?

Also you can use the special attacks. It's too manic because with the special attacks (reflect shiels and borken laser) the game would be very easy.

When your gauge is full you can use the reflect shield not only to dodge bullets but as an attack weapon as well, the borken laser is a homing laser that destroys all active bullets on screen the instant you use it.

Cool! Yeah, it's part of the autofire stuff. I think setting the forward options as the default is a nice idea. We had no time to finish the game so it's not as polished as we intended. We will continue the development of the game after the compo results are known(about 2 weeks from now).

As for going retail, I don't think it will. We started it as free and opensourced and it would stay that way. I doubt if anyone would buy it anyways. ;*)
