Spiffy!

Reminds me of Gradius. How do the powerups work? My problem with the Gradius series is how you die and lose *everything* which ends the game
CoquibyteGames
Gradius definitely has inspired parts of this game.

Like if that boss killed you with full powerups, you're NOT coming back and beating it with a pea shooter.
CoquibyteGames
Power ups just change your weapon type and you can level up the weapon by picking more power ups of the same type.
CoquibyteGames
The rocket bombs are spent when used and do not level up like the rest of the weapons.
ThatRaccoonGuy
so it's like R-type. Ok. Do you lose all your level-ups each death like in the old shooters?
CoquibyteGames
But I am still trying to decide how to handle those details.
CoquibyteGames
Still WIP but 1 hit downgrades your weapon by 1 level and it will revert to basic weapon when hit enough times.

You can also lose the power ups if you die.
