Circuit Blaster is my entry for the 'SHMUP Love Month Jam'. 

Its an arcade-inspired shoot-em-up, with a puzzle-like upgrade system. Fight your way through procedurally generated waves of enemies and acquire circuits to upgrade your ship.

There is no end or final boss since each level is randomly generated.  See how far you can go. The balance gets pretty crazy around world 4-5.

Controls:

  • WASD - to control your ship
  • SPACE - to shoot
  • E - to change between shooting patterns
  • SHIFT - to fly at a constant slow speed (Focus mode)
  • Use your mouse to drag and drop circuits on the right panel

Art is made by myself.

Music is by Abstraction, you can find their work here https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle and here https://abstractionmusic.com/

Here is the code if anyone is interested. Feel free to look through/modify/build upon or do anything you want with it.
