#2This is gorgeous. Love it.
A problem I regularly have with my for-fun games is that I can’t find assets for them. Most assets on free/cheap asset sites are for isometric 2D pixel art games.
I need sprites for raycast games! I would pay someone $20 to give me some quick, serviceable stuff but I imagine they would need much more for it to be worthwhile. I can’t justify more than that for throwaway personal projects.
I’m looking at AI art but it doesn’t quite get anything in the format I need.
I might just borrow the Chex Quest assets…

Check out itch.io. In addition to games, there are also tons of assets packs for sale, often for cheap. And they often get included in "Humble X Bundle" type things.

I think the good art in this game started with the idea: good tracks, 80s revival, arcade-style, ...
The game itself in one we've seen before. But all art matches well (sounds, BGs, sprites, etc.) with concept!

#5Great game, controls felt tight and difficult was well balanced. My one complaint is the stages are way too long, it feels like a slog until you get to a boss

Thanks! Wasn’t aware of the latter option.

#7Very cool. My only suggestion is to change the color of the enemy shots to red, because it's the same color as the coins and can get a little confusing if u are about to collect points or get shot.

#8That is very cool - like your work. How do you restart the game - i had to use the back button after i died

KayKit has some pretty nice 3D models for free
