Two screenshots side by side


"SAVE THEM"

  • A classic NES style bullet-hell with.. "classical" NES difficulty.
  • Whopping 4 guns to pick up and use!
  • A monstrous... single stage to complete!
  • A mysterious boss to reach and conquer!
  • A non-functioning high-score system! Exercise your memory!
  • Controllable volume from the options menu! This is the cutting edge!
  • AN OPTIONS MENU!!1! *(Some options do not do anything)

Keypad and Keyboard controls supported:

  • WASD to move + Space to Accept/Shoot
  • DPAD to move + XBox(A) Nintendo (B) Button to Accept/Shoot

Pick up guns by walking over their pickups... or ignore them for added challenge.


This is my entry into the #retrogradejam Game Jam, made in the lovely Godot engine.
As a consequence of being a game jam entry, and a shorter jam at that, it's gonna be a little rough around the edges, but I hope you enjoy your time nevertheless <3

Hey i love the music of this game could you please tell me the name of the music in soundcloud

Hi Jasper!
I completely agree, TFX did an AMAZING job on the music for this entry!
It's possible that it's no longer listed on TFX's Soundcloud, but if you can't find it and if you love their style there's a lot of similar tracks on their Soundcloud in the < CREDITS > section above (https://soundcloud.com/tfx-st/tracks)

Hey Jasper! It's tfx! This message is coming in super late, but I hope it finds you well.  I can't remember if I actually put this on my sound cloud or not, or if it got shuffled around, but I actually have it up on my bandcamp!  You can grab them there for free (just set 0 as the price, or listen to them in the app/website!).

Thanks tfx for the link and by the way my first name is Jasper Ted just so you know
