keep in the box; make the box bigger; do something that makes the boss more powerful than the other enemies other than more health and fix the jump that keeps recycling the boss; powerups for weapons; levels; different enemies.
Definite improvement but mainly in the artwork - still the same thing tbh. Keep working on it! :)
Ok improvements - 1)Keep the player in the visible box :L
2) Ability to shoot down enemy projectiles
3) a winstate? :L unless you're looking for an endless survival shooter
4) Enemy progression - better weapons, new enemies etc.
5) Power ups and lives for player
6) possible indestructible obstacles
7) Ammo limit
8) Odd mini-boss
9) improved sprites and graphics XD
Simple and glitch-free, build on this and you'll have a nice game :)
I have figured out what this game is. This has to be a cross between space invaders and tohou. Awesome music, and bullet hell. Absolutely brilliant!! XD
