28 MB wasm file. Is it possible to reduce the size a bit? In uncompressed and unobfuscated JS this wouldn't take more than 10KB.

Thanks for pointing that out. By coincidence, I was checking this now as I was actually worried about the bandwidth bill from my cloud provider and I wasn't aware that Nginx doesn't compress everything by default.

Simple tweaks:

gzip_types text/plain application/xml application/octet-stream application/javascript audio/ogg;

wasm-opt -Oz out/bevy-shoot-em-up_bg.wasm -o out/bevy-shoot-em-up_bg.wasm

So now , the total download size is 6.4 MB.

Robotron 2084 !!!

Wow, somehow I wasn't aware of this game, looks quite intensive and inspiring.

More modern games in the same lineage (connected by Eugene Jarvis) are:

* Smash TV

* Total Carnage

* Nex Machina (which has a documentary following it's creation called "The Name of the Game" currentnly on Netflix)
