Hello !
I had to prove my adaptability towards using a new game engine for a company. So since a "shot them up" style was perfect to demonstrate the basics, I decided to use few of your assets !
It's really a small project that was completed under two weeks, so it's not much but here you go !
adrikat2022.github.io/test_project/
(I hope I get the internship)
Wow, that is awesome, thanks for letting me know about the project's backstory!!!
I've just tested it out and it works great, you did an amazing job with it. And I love that you left the debug in there as a toggle haha I like seeing these small glimpses of the game's inner workings!
Really well done, Adrikat! I wish you the best of luck on getting that internship :)
Thank you so much for your answer and you support !
Update on the backstory : Unfortunately, I still haven't got any response from the company, I'm being ghosted on the moment :(
It's really a shame since at first, I made this game for the very purpose of getting an internship opportunity but hey, I made a game, I enjoyed it and that's the important part !
Anyways, glad you liked it, I also love to put customization (when I have the time and only small/easy things at the moment) so we get to see the difference !
Used your assets for a short game, thanks!: https://iamsul.itch.io/starshooter
I'm having some trouble slicing the sprites in Unity, Could you please provide me with some assistance on how to slice them?
Hi there, Abdouxbn!
I'm sorry to hear that. Here are some resources that might help you on that task.

You may be interested in trying out https://js13kgames.com/2024/games/blind-fear which uses this pack.
Oh my, I just LOOOOOVE the arcade vibe you've managed to give to it all!
I'll certainly give it try and provide some feedback on it. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing game!
Hello, these sprites are awesome!
I want to make a game and make this open-source for a college project. Is it okay to add the assets inside a PUBLIC github repo? This technically counts as redistributing so I'm not sure if this is okay.
I'm totally fine, just erroring on build and redirecting the user here.
Hi there, it is amazing to hear you'll be using it for a college project!!!
And yeah, I'm totally fine with it being inside a game's public GitHub repo, no problems at all. As long as they are part of a game and not under a "here take this assets" ad thingy, I'm alright, hahaha.
And please keep me updated on it. I love playing games made with my assets!
You're so kind, thanks! I will do so after we finish the project!
can you make a high detailed 16 bit version of this asset pack
I do like the idea of remaking all my 8x8 packs into 16x16 res! I have recently worked on some personal projects exploring the 16x16 resolution and I'm really into it now.
sadly I don't think that will happen anytime soon... Since I've last made some pixel art asset packs a lot has changed: work, projects and life in general. Buuut, if I ever find the time to get back to it, I'll make sure to try remaking this one as you suggested.
Thank you!
pls, do it quickly
I used this excellent asset pack to make this game!
Generic Space Shooter by RSkala (itch.io)
We have used the asset.
I am not very good at drawing, so it helped me a lot.
This is my first work. It was very fun to do.
Thank you very much.
Geriant Boura bula by Kintapioka (itch.io)
lovely assets, I am already a fan!
nice game
Come back Gustavo, we miss your assets ! =D
You have no idea how much I needed to hear that today, Cole&Gram so thanks for that :_)
I've been meaning to get back at asset making but life always gets in the way these days ahahah But I'm sure I'll eventually get into calmer waters again and finally make a come back!
Again, thank you so much for the kind message. It really made my day
what's the font tho?
Hi there!
Thanks for asking, but the font used for all the sample art was made on the fly and never found it's ways to the pack, sorry...
But maybe this is the comment that makes me introduce the font to the pack ::eyes::
its alr, nice work btw 👍
I used your work in my game.thank you very much.

I used some of your ship sprites as a base for my game :) Space Escape by me
Hello, I used your sprites as the base asset pack in my game and I can honestly say it's an amazing resource wholeheartedly recommend to anyone doing a pixel style space game!
Max Rocket by choZ3N (itch.io)
I can't stress enough how heart warming it is to hear that!!! Thank you so much for letting me know about the game. I'll certainly give it a try!
Hoi dis Temmie I'm using your assets for my gam tooo!! 0.0
Public testing basically :3
(13) Lost Viper by Shogor - Game Jolt
Amazing!!! I'll be giving it a go
Thank you so much for letting me know. It is really heartwarming to know people are still using the assets to make some super cool games :D
Thanks for your great work! The quality is amazing.
Made a game for LowRezGameJam 2023 with thie assest :D.
Here is the link to my game: https://cosformula.itch.io/space-zero
Hi hi. It is amazing to hear the assets were put to good use by amazing devs live yourself!
![static grey screen]( "static grey screen")
And hey, it seems we will be competing in LowRez Jam, because I'm also working with a friend on a game for it haha! :)
Idk if it is due to some problem on my end, but I find my self unable to load the game, gettin this static grey screen every time I try playing it.
Loved the pack ive used he assets to create a old school solo RPG book
Awesome work!! I used the ships from this pack in an invaders remake that can be found here!
Thank you for making this and making it available for everyone!
Code and credit can be found here!
Hi there!! It is so great to hear the sprites were put to good use. Thanks for reaching out and letting me know you've made this amazing game with the pack, this really made my day!
Have a great one, mate, and keep making amazing things!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!! And same to you, have a great one and keep making amazing things!!
I played your game on desktop and really enjoyed it! Mobile didn't seem to work, but you're probably aware of that. If you post your game on itch you will probably get even more feedback!
Thank you for playing! And I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Yes, mobile does not work yet. I'm hoping to use this game to teach a small course on coding fundamentals for a few students over the summer. And I was considering leaving the mobile implementation as a personal challenge for them to complete after the course.
But if I do get some time, I would definitely also implement it myself for the sake of playing this on mobile :D
Hehe I made it so close...
These are great, an amazing value for the price. Awesome work!
Thank you so much!! I'm sure you'll be able to make something amazing with it :)
Thanks!
Amazing work, there's a lot of great stuff in there
Do you accept paid commission ? I really like what you're doing
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words :)
About the commissions, I'm currently not taking any... Been away from art for quite some time now, but hopefully I'll get back to it someday. Thanks for asking anyway. Have a nice one, mate!
That's too bad but no worries
Have a good one too
Great assets! I used them in my first game jam (188th Trijam). I also gave you credits.
Here is a link to my game: https://gekkesucro.itch.io/space-station-sabotage.
What an amazing thing to hear! And what a fun little game :D
I did my best but oh boy those ship are faaaast
What a find!
Lovely style! Great work!
Tysm! I'm planning on getting back to making some more low res packs, so stay tuned :D
great
Thanks :)
I love this sprite pack I'm going to use it for a game series. Any custom logo you would like me to use for my credits? If not I'm going to use the logo in the lower right of the first space shooter pack.
Thanks! I'm happy it will be put good use :D you can go with that logo for sure, I'm good with anything really!
I made this game for the GMTK 2022 with this pack ! You are in the credits !

Hey Gustavo, I think this space shooter asset pack would be a great addition to my project - the Flowlab game maker (https://flowlab.io). Would that be OK with you?
Hey there
Oi, that is awesome to hear! If the assets are being useful, I'm totally ok with that :)
Thanks! I think they're going to be super useful :)
some one please tell me how to cut this up into individual sprites please i have been trying to cut this for so long.
thanks.
Hey there! In which software are you trying to cut it?
i game maker studio but i am fine with it just cut any way, i tried it manually and it took to long.
This looks amazing!
I'm using this in my project. Thank you!
It's very experimental stage though..
https://yongsooim.itch.io/space-survivors-2022
use it for my game, wait the link!
This exactly what I needed, Thanks! I'll make sure to credit you :)
Glad the package will be put to good use! :)
Great asset pack! Maybe you should try to create a game demo!
Po cara, curti de mais as artes. To iniciando em gamedev, como eu faço pra cortar as imagens e extrair os sprites? usei um site mas elas sairam super tortas...
Hunmmm, você pode usar alguma ferramenta como o libresprite para cortar cada sprite individualmente. Muitas engines também já vêm com ferramentas de corte e seleção de sprites!
Thank you for making this pack, I want to make a game with these do you plan on adding anything else to this pack?
Hey there! I'm happy to hear the assets will be of good use :D
About expanding it, for now there are no plans on doing so. But I do plan on overhauling all my assets when I have the time to do so... And that might come with small expansion for all sets.
Would you mind sharing what would you like to see added to the set? Thanks!
Maybe add some muzzle flash effects too :)
Perfeito! Vou usar em um projeto, muito bom.
Vou colocar os créditos, na open source do jogo.
Muito obrigado!! Toda vez que leio que a arte será usada em um projeto sinto que todas as horas de trabalho no pacote valeram a pena, hahaha!
Howdy bro! These are perfect for a project I'm working on. I'm making a collection app to keep all the games I make in. Thank you so much for this incredible artwork.
awesome! I'm glad the assets are a good fit for the project :) Let me know when it is done, I would love to see it!
