Try to shoot the enemy ships!
 

2. What creative additions did you make? How can we find them?

 

1. Rebalanced and Reworked Guns

• changed gun system to add all new guns to open slots, no longer wiping out guns you already collected and just adding them to the ships total

1. Reworked powerups

• when you have filled your ships with guns, only shield powerups will spawn, no longer wasting the gun ones.

1. Added quick dash

• press left or right arrow keys to do a quick dash in that direction
• added particle system to show dash visually
• added timer that shows the delay until next dash is available
