There’s no real balance to the game so it’s hard to say what’s a good score - but loop 7 is pretty far and around the point where the game starts getting difficult 👌🏻
Very cool effects going on. I think you could have explained a bit more on the game page or title screen - I'm still not sure what most of the UI elements are trying to tell me. Gameplay is extremely satisfying, especially the slow-down as others have mentioned.
Thanks! It’s infinite, but after loop… 12 or so all the variation is exhausted and it will forever be the last wave, so not much fun playing beyond that. Very much just a prototype this.

Would it be possible to make the pico-8 cart available for download?
It’s on bbs 👍🏻
I can't find it. A search for 'schildm8' returns nothing.

Thanks. Weird how it doesn't appear in search.

Fair point, I’ll add some UI explanation (when I get around to it😅).
Nice, well done! How many stages are there?

Really impressive. I don't know how you managed to fit all of that into pico-8
Thanks. There is a lot of trickery going on to keep the token count in check, mainly splitting strings. Feel free to check out the code at the bbs.
I loved it ! Collecting powerups to make massive damages is so satisfying
I love the slow-mo effect
The presentation on this is amazing.
cute
This is excellent!! The HUD gets a bit in the way of viewing the enemies when they show up at the top of the screen.
good game
