Description

‘Nanobeast’ is a challenging retro shooter with a unique upgrade system that involves collecting power-ups. However, when you collect a power-up (P) that does not mean you have upgraded immediately. You get to choose how to use those power-ups to upgrade your general stats:
- speed of your ship (you need 1 power-up)
- power of your weapon (you need 2 power-ups)
- fire rate of your weapon (you need 3 power-ups)
- bombs (you need 4 power-ups)
- lives (you need 5 power-ups)

There are 2 additional weapons to be collected as you play: missiles and side gun.

There are 27 medals to be achieved.

The game is generally very challenging. There are three difficulty settings: normal, hard and insane. There is no easy.

The game supports highscores and has a system that multiplies your score depending on which difficulty setting you play and how many medals you have collected.

The game features original 8-bit music written especially for ‘Nanobeast’ by Christian Erenskjold, a very talented musician from Denmark. Other musicians who also contributed are listed in the credits.

I have been developing and beta testing this game heavily for a long time. Any feedback and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

How to Play

Use the arrow keys to move
Press ‘A’ to shoot left
Press ‘D’ to shoot right
Press ‘S’ to activate your current power-up level
Press ‘W’ to release a bomb

The blablabla dialogues are awesome. That said, i have one question: how, exactly, do you complete a chapter without shooting? the bosses didn't seem to expire.
