About:
ZERO is a 2D space shooter game where you face endless enemies. The more enemies you kill, the higher your score will be.
Pick-up collectibles to regain your HP or to have an increased rate of fire for a few seconds!
The game features an "invincibility frames" mechanic that prevent you to get obliterated when you're getting hit!
It has been made in a few days for the GBJAM8 by myself as a solo developer.
Disclaimer: this game is a prototype made for the game jam. Depending on how it goes, it might either be developed further or abandoned.
