A downloadable demo for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Goodbye Earthlings! is a SHMUP prototype.

I wanted to make a game like Dodonpachi or Touhou. So I made this :)

I'm putting this out there to show people what I've been working on in my spare time.


Features:

  • One awesome level
  • Innovative 'Capture' mechanic where you use your tractor beam to ensare enemies onto your side!
  • Xinput Controller support
  • Aspect Ratio Scaling for alternate monitor orientation support

Music in the main level is by Drop Cartel (Abduction), and all the rest of the art / music in the game is public domain sprites and backgrounds, sounds, music from the lovely OpenGameArt community.

I hope you enjoy the prototype, and perhaps this is an idea that can be revisited in larger scope.
