Bit Blaster XL - Fighting for the highscore and better ships (action)
1My opinion:
A glorious arcade Shoot 'Em Up with retro aesthetic and fantastic game mechanics, it is difficult and it pushes the user to get better in every passage.
Developer's Note
I have been learning to make games by making games and love creating small-yet-solid arcade games with simple mechanics. Please expect 'Bit Blaster XL' to be a small, re-playable, arcade score-chaser game where the only goals are to constantly beat your previous score and unlock some extra ships. I greatly appreciate feedback and will do my best to ensure support for my games. Please contact me through Twitter, My Website, or the forums if you encounter something wrong with the game, something misleading on the store page, or you just want to say hello.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this; I really hope you enjoy playing my game.
