Leaping SHMUP (Prototype)
Made for Game Off 2019, theme: Leaps and Bound
The game is a SHMUP with leaping mechanics. The character is a magical girl fighting an invasion of alien cats - the character only shoots every time it leaps.
Controls:
- Left and right arrow keys to move, up to jump/shoot
- Holding up can let you hover-jump
- Esc to pause
I wish I could do more - but I was surprisingly busy last month, so I could only make this much. There are still some more that I want to put into this game, but time has run out.
Have fun! Careful not to let the boss bite your head
Note: From Dec 7 to Dec 10, an updated version with a background and hover-jump mechanic was uploaded. I didn't read the FAQ and thought I could still update the game a little. From Dec 10 onward the game has been reverted to the condition it was originally uploaded in when the submission period ended; with just one small bug fix: The power up initial velocity when dropped has been reduced. In the original version the initial left-ward velocity was way too big.

I wasn't sure what I'd think of the jumping/shooting mechanic, but it was more fun than I expected. Nice work! I hear you on the surprise busyness. :(
Also, I saw what you did with that boss there. ;) I had to see what would happen if it bit me, and I was not disappointed!
Glad you enjoyed it. And it seems I can assume you totally get the reference too - being a magical girl is suffering, people ;)
