Random sucks in random mode. The ship appears near the enemy and dodge impossible :( But the game is excellent. I love shmup. And this game is a good shmup. Good job man. And thanks for the game that gave me a lot of fun. But random sucks :)
Pretty good, though the game doesn't give you nearly enough time to react to the enemies sometimes. (A preview picture of each level during the pre-level screen might help with that).
Since 7.5/10 is equivalent to 3.75/5, and 3.75 rounds up to 4, that's what I gave the game.
i like the game!
The gameplay isn't my cup of tea. Sorry. It really looks like a classic game boy game though!
I love the concept of this game! The 3D effect is really cool, especially for a GB-styled game. The music is also really catchy, which adds to the awesomeness of this game. [5/5]

Description
Developed for #gbjam3
Galaticus is a fast paced pipe shooter, inspired by the Konami shoot'em up Gyruss. Your goal is to survive through each quadrant, filled with groups of enemies, once all enemies are gone, you can travel to the next quadrant.
You have two game modes:
Normal Mode: Play through 21 pre-made levels, introducing all the different enemies in progressing difficulty.
Random Mode: The amount of enemies increases on each level. Aside from that, literally anything goes. Play for as long as you can survive.
TIP: If you spot anything that doesn't move, it's a bonus item. Best to collect it if you want either extra lives or extra points.
Controls - Keyboard/Gamepad

Versions
You can play either the flash or windows versions of the Galaticus, both versions are virtually the same, although Windows requires you to modify one text file (gamejolt.txt) if you want to connect to the GameJolt API (the flash version does this automatically if you are logged into GameJolt).
FOR LETS PLAYERS AND REVIEWERS: I recommend using the Windows Version to record game footage, as Flash builds of Haxe games tend to decrease in frame rate when being captured with software like Fraps and OBS.
