Pastagus Fantasy by Shifty
This game has been made by a team of three peoples called the Uchuu Sentai Pastagaga.
This is our first participation to Ludum Dare Jam so be gentle :)
In this shoot em up game you cannot shoot, you can just avoid the bullet. So let's name it an "avoid them all" game.
The more you avoid bullets, the more you score. Each bullet that goes out of the screen makes you earn 1 point.
Your score fulfil a power gauge which allow you to active one of your 4 powers :
1- Shield: glass shields block the bullets
2- Nova: generate a nova circle around your ship and destroy all the bullets in it
3- Mirror ball: makes the entire screen go BOOM and empty it
4- Score x2: all bullets that go out of the screen make you earn 2 points !
The idea behind the game is not just to "escape" the bullets. It is to "escape" reality. Firstly through the universe of the game and secondly because in the real world you will never just avoid the bullets without shooting.
As you will see the game needs some improvements, balancing and lack from real musics and SFX. But don't worry ! This is just the first version. Updates will come soon :)
We hope you'll like the game in this first release. Do not hesitate to drop a word, feedback, comments, anything will be appreciate. See you for another Jam :)

I like the idea of the "passive" shooter. This thing is ridiculously hard though.
P.S. 6Mb distributables need to be optional downloads.
