HTML5 and JavaScript Game Development Competition in just 13 kB

Xiiivious

An unfinished vertical shoot 'em up.

Pretty much feature complete in terms of systems, but ended up only having time to create a single level, and not much playtesting, so i'm not sure how fun it is.

Controls are arrow keys / WASD for moving, and space to shoot.

Only 8.3k, so plenty of room for adding more content.

Feedback from the experts

Ania Kubów: I was impressed with the wonderful pixel art and well thought out sounds. The additional lives made this game more enjoyable in terms of adventure and it would be great to see a way to collect more lives along the way. Having your high score show up was a great bonus!

Christer Kaitila: amazing work! the movement and fun is really great on this one, and the sprites are awesome looking! sometimes the largest background stars would confuse my eyes and make me get hit by a bullet, and I really wish I was invulnerable for 5 seconds after dying, as I tended to dye multiple times immediately after each other as I would spawn in danger. Everyting about this game is nice and polished and fun. Nice work coding enemies that took more than one hit, and even an awesome BOSS BATTLE!!!!! I wish the boss had a health bar so I knew how close it was to be defeated! You should definitely make more levels if you are inspired to continue dev, as the foundations are totally solid for you to make an epic cave style bullethell shmup with this! great work
