FLESH NAVY [playtest]

FLESH NAVY is a minimalist and (potentially) brutal shoot’em up built in PICO-8, where you face an organic fleet determined to overwhelm you.

The game takes a “souls-like” approach to the SHMUP genre, with difficulty based on observation, learning and fair but demanding encounters rather than pure chaos.

Controls :
 - X to shoot
 - C to enter "focus mode"
 - Arrow keys to move

This is my very first game project.

The game is currently in a playtest phase and will continue to receive updates over time. My goal is to push this first experiment as far as possible.

If you take the time to play it, your feedback would be extremely valuable, especially regarding how the game feels :

 - Are enemy attacks readable?

 - Does death feel fair? 

 - What could be improved, even slightly?

 - And most importantly, did you enjoy it?

Planned improvements for the final version :

 - Proper boss sprites

 - Original atmospheric music tracks

 - Additional visual and audio polish

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to try it.
