Gameplay

Stay alive and kill the enemies by shooting them with sparks to gain points (the highest score so far is 2112 in hard mode). Shoot the forge to upgrade it. The more you upgrade the forge, the more sparks you will get from it. 

Pro tip: Use your charge shot to kill more than one enemy at a time.

Behind The Scenes

This is the first game I have ever developed with Pico-8. It was a pleasure to develop with. Pico-8 was just the tool I was looking for (simple in all the right ways with the right degree of freedom). The game was made in three days as part of Mini Jam 187.
