I wanted to really incorporate gameplay that's synched to music with the idea of playing back your previous moves... and a shoot em up.
Your shots are synched to the BPM of the song :D
Here's what I got so far. My hope is to have the boss have various weak points that you have to knock out by playing each life to its fullest potential.

Main mechanic is that you play 10 seconds at a time, and your previous ships replay your actions.
Updated music, added smaller enemies and a powerup.
Next up is actual end-to-end gameplay.

It's ok if you die, your past lives will just come back and repeat your last turns. Kill the boss to win!

No polish yet, but the gameplay is coming together! Bombs cost money. New bombs can be unlocked with stars.
Blow up all the star blocks to progress to the next level.

Jam game completed by two game devs who work in the industry. (Runs on Unity).Your ship barely escaped it's last battle. Unfortunately your reactor has become UNSTABLE and can only charge one system at a time. Your goal is to charge your warp core fully and get out.
Time's ticking though, as the enemy has tracked you down and is warping in to finish the job!
Balance charging each system to defend yourself, while also trying to warp out
If you haven't had a chance to try Unstable Reactor, give it a try now! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/unstable-reactor-2
The rendering settings were bumped to 'high', so you can really appreciate the art as it was meant to be, with full HDR!
Also we just added new difficulty options, as some of the balance might have been a little too difficult for new players. Give them a try and let us know if you'd like us to play one of your games too :D
