A short pico8 game made for the 48 + 8 Jam #3

Humanity has moved on from Earth, claiming alien planets for their own. On one such planet, the terraforming equipment has malfunctioned and has activated its defense systems. You must now destroy it, good luck as you'll need it.

(This is a difficult boss fight, to make it easier try using the screen wrapping to your advantage)

Pilot the plane using arrow keys

You can shoot enemy spawns, but they wont stop spawning : )))

looks interesting but I still don't understand how to kill the boss

sorry if it s confusing! just shoot him : )
the bars on the bosses body indicate his health. when they are fully red he is dead

thanks, just now noticed them :) but it's still very difficult for me

No worries!! Its meant to be very difficult in general. As developers we found that we weren't always able to beat it. We wanted it to be just barely beatable and felt like we achieved that : )
