Abdavark “Shrinking Stage” is a game I made that is inspired by the Steam game Windowkill (which I have never played - I don’t even have a Steam account - but I have seen YouTube videos of it). Shrinking Stage10kB Instructions Click to reveal Click to hide Move your mouse to rotate your player and aim and dodge. If the controls do not work, turn off “disable touchpad/mouse while typing” in your system settings. Use [W] to move your player and avoid enemy shots. Use Space to shoot at enemies to defeat them, at powerups to collect them, or at the border of the stage to expand it.

amp This is a pretty cool use of arrays! Some suggestions: Add a widescreen setting. It just feels more natural to play a game like this in widescreen. Add controller support (I could help with this - I don’t believe you have a controller so…) Add sound effects. Add the ability to control using only the keyboard. This should be easier than gamepad considering it’s less complex.
Anonymised_user_6 Found a bug (or at least I think it is..?) When you shoot, the ammo is not shooting from the front of the player. edit: it’s the lag from the stage size changing
