ZonePanic Alpha Demo

Overview

This is the first stage of an early build of ZonePanic, a shmup focused on scoring, bullet cancels and aggressive play.

Note on visual bugs: have seen a case of effects missing on the windows build e.g special weapon, explosions. Will be working to fix that asap

PLAYTESTING/FEEDBACK WANTED! I'm curious on how people feel about these specific aspects of the game:

• The special weapon radius shrinking over time
• Ammo having a quick pickup window that gives more special weapon charge
• How the bomb duration and usage feel
• Boss parts respawning on new phase
• If the stage design encourages usage of the special weapon
• General feel of the stage and boss design
• Anything else that comes to mind! Please let me know!

How to play

• You have three weapons: main shot, special and bomb
• Special weapon cancels bullets
• Collect ammo to charge the special weapon
• Enemies drop blue medals when hit with special weapon
• Blue medals charge the bomb
• Bomb works like the special weapon except it can be used repeatedly in it's active duration
