Very swishy looking, like it a lot

Awesome palette

I do like a vertical shoot-emup. I have a couple of crackers on my phone that I play while on the train.

Interestingly, the graphics style look exactly like the old Xenon2 Megablast and/or Xenon2000 PCF game.

Any inspiration from those?

Yep it''s a love letter to Xenon2 

This is one of the fonts and palette I created for it


You can see at the bottom graphics for 16 different enemy flight paths...

and the shop in development:

That looks very nice.

been rewriting the enemy sprite manager code so it adds and removes sprites keeping the list count optimal

now linking the enemy position to the path code:

[blinkok]

Correct me if i am wrong but that looks threeeeedeeeeeeee

[iWasAdam]

I assure you it is actually 2d!
But... I did use my own 3d editor to construct the robot and some of the sprites:


These were then converted into 2d and the sprites created from them.

All the UI elements were hand pixel created

That enemy sprite

[Derron]

That enemy sprite

You mean these 3 ones?


The bottom right one ... looks a bit "odd" ...
a) there are two of them on the same position
or
b) IWasAdam combined multiple single sprites for each enemy - some kind of "parallax" 3d effect

Edit:
or
c) the enemies are "rotating" (he somewhere dropped that enemy sprite frame is depending on coordinates) ... in that case the red "ball" on the bottom right seems bigger than the other ones (taking rotation and the little required scale change into account)

very possibly two being drawn on top of each other.

This is the original 3d model that was imported and painted:

Cool 

I look forward to playing this one in particular.

Animation comes in many forms...
