love2d-shmup's Issues

Drawing Text

[Tweak] Better Inner clock for the system

The current tick system is flawed and requires a major change. No looping is set as of now, so the game can be broken on long play times.

[Feedback] Enemies may shoot to fast forcing the player into more defensive style

[Feature] Mini Bosses

Occasionally appearing higher danger level enemies with unique patterns and high weights.

[Bug] Alpha Release high score error

Alpha release's web export only overrides the first highscore over and over.

[Tweak] Consider changin the game to horizontal

[Feedback] The tesla allows for too defensive gameplay as does the fact that the pickup scrolls constantly

[Feature] Text Bubble Toggle

Add a setting to toggle the onomatopoeia effect.
Needs #21 first.

[Feature] Hit registration indication

Hit registration is missing for both the player and the enemies, other than the healthbar changing.

[Feature] Tutorial

Add a tutorial system to the game

[Feature] Settings menu

Setup a proper settings menu for the game for window and keyboard controls.

[Feature] Equipments

Consider creating a special slot in which you can store an equipment.

Equipments can be activated for an effect and will go on a cooldown.

Drawing Sprites

[Feature] Re-introduce the other 2 enemy family variants

The TIC-80 version containd 3 families: Squares, Circles, Triangle the current one only features the Squares.

Glitch effect

Animations

[Tweak] Duplication Control in upgrade screen

Currently the upgrade system doesn't guard duplication upon level up, this may cause the same upgrade to appear multiple times. This should be change so the game gives unique upgrades each time.

Upgrade System

Player Movement

[Feature] Terrain/Event Hazards

Consider adding terrain and event hazards in the form of asteroids that need to be avoided, solar flares covering the screen etc..

[Feature] Outline Effects

The old version had outlines for enemies and the player with also including different colored outlines for the elite enemies for better indication.

Bullet Shooting

Spawning enemies

[Feedback] Scaling may be a bit too fast

Particle System

[Feature] Controller Support - Input overhaul

Create a better control system for the game to allow Keyboard, Controller and Touch Controls.
Consider #21 first to allow setting said controls as well.

[Feature] Background Music

Add a background music to the game.
