Komodo Rising
This is my entry to the LOWREZJAM2023
Controls:
- Shoot: SPACE, ENTER, X
- Bomb: SHIFT, Z, C
- Move: WASD, ARROW KEYS
Tips:
- You have a tiny hitbox (the bright green middle of your ship), make the most of it and weave through bullets!
- The best defense is offense - bullets disappear when the enemy that shot them is destroyed.
- Use your bombs to get out of tight spots - all bullets are removed from the screen and great damage is caused!
- If you die, you can continue from where you left off, only your score is reset.

Loved it! Is the background perlin noise? It's really cool. Anyway loved the aesthetic and thought the difficulty curve was just right :D Will definitely come back to play more!
Thanks so much!
The background is actually just a big hand drawn texture that’s wider than the canvas, repeated but shifted along the x axis by different amounts so the repetition isn’t too obvious!
If you’re interested in the detail, this is the actual image and the code is here and here.
Awesome Game, I love the color palette! I did run into a problem where enemies would stop spawning after some time, but after refreshing it was fine.
Thanks so much for playing it and reporting the issue - I did a last minute change to remove the music on web builds because it was causing crashes, and forgot the appearance of the boss is tied to the music queue - I’m not sure if I’m breaking any jam rules with this but I’ve pushed a quick fix.
Thanks again!
