Moonshot
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
A classic shoot them up, with mechanics strongly inspired from Gradius, but with lots of bullets. Will you manage to deal with the two levels of this 10 to 20 minutes long game? (could be a bit — or even, much — longer in case of Gameover).
The game was made by Cécile Dumont (graphics, sounds) and Loïg Jezequel (programming, sounds, music). It is based on the Ebiten library.
The provided video is a complete playthrough, just in case anyone needs it to have a glimpse of the full game.
During gameoff, a Mac version has been provided thanks to Sinisterstuf, who gladly compiled it from the github sources (the latest version is not available for Mac however).
The originial gameoff version can be found on the github repository as a release.
Special thanks to Amel Bent for musical inspiration.

Thanks for having played it! (I did a more complete answer to your reactions on the submission page of the game)
Hey, I've tried out your game because it caught my eyes with it's really amazing graphics. While playing I felt like I felt when playing cuphead plane levels, but bit less intense. The things that I would like to change would be game speed and clarity on controls. Projectiles and the plain could be bit faster, but that is just my opinion. Great work!
Thanks a lot for your comment. It is always nice to get this kind of feedback, as I was the only one to test the game I made it fit to my taste. It is very interesting to get insights of other people feelings about the gameplay.
