• Space shooter, enemies pull in the boundaries of the universe to trap/crush you
  • Enemies can also go out of bounds and push, they are the only objects that can exist out of bounds, so push other enemies into them
  • Enemy can pull/push 1 edge at any point, or 2 edges at a corner, or other enemies to help them
  • The more enemies push/pull an edge the faster it moves in
• Trash compactor survival, punch moving plates back, put objects between them to stop them temporarily
• Draw/paint while the paper/canvas is burning
• Place new papers/canvases as AI artist's drawing/painting grows

Going with a shrinking space shooter. Except I don't feel like going to space.

Due to an oversight, the controller D-pad might not work in my game. I have a fix for this.

Do you think it's fair to update the release build with this fix?

I should be getting back on my main project, and I tried, but some things missing from VoidStalkers have been bugging me.

Look forward to:

• 8-way shooting with d-pad or 360-degree shooting with analog
• Choice to shoot without strafing
• Regaining some space after finishing a wave
• More enemy tactics hopefully

These updates will be available to try on the builds page at GitLab. After the rating period they will be published on the itch.io page.

The first post-jam version of VoidStalkers is out.

• All-way shooting: 8-way with d-pad, 360-degree with analog
• Z key, A button, 1st button = fire without strafe
• X key, B button, 2nd button = fire with strafe
• Regain some space after finishing a wave
