Description

Grow like a boss in Bostardian, a crazy psychedelic bullet hell vertical scroller shooter.

As a very tiny combat ship, the SS Tardian must collect tons of cosmic gems to survive warfare:

  • Green gems: create a forcefield around the ship that grows with each gem collected.
  • Blue gems: increase weapon strength and reach.
  • Pink gems: gather 80 of these to get an extra life!
  • Orange gems: collect 100 and press the B button to grow boss sized and crush your enemies like a titan!

But gems are not forever, if you lose all of your lives and wish to continue fighting, you shall pay the price: choose to either halve your gems or score.

Featuring beautiful hand crafted pixel art, original graphics and soundtrack (only original resources created exclusively for this game since july 10)

Controls:

  • Arrow keys: move the ship/select action in menu
  • A: shoot/confirm action
  • B: when the boss gauge is full, press b to transform the SS Tardian into the powerful Bosstardian!
  • P: pause the game.

*Xbox controller compatible.

This game's code, graphics and sound were created by me in less than a month. This was a hard but fun challenge.
I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as i did enjoy creating it!
