Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Demo map is about half-way built. I might make more adjustments down the line, but base functionality is done. 2) I'm also trying to make it feel like the base is being attacked, with a lot of back-and-forth combat. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Hello #PitchYaGame crowd! I've been working on a new game, currently named "Project MF-02". It's a #bullethell #metroidvania. Deep beneath the surface, a war rages between a galactic empire, and a local resistance. It's in early development. Anyone interested can follow me using the links below.
