Bit Blaster XL V1.10 is now live
-> Rewrote the shield system, should now work as intended, flashed the GFX up a notch, and added an indicator showing how many shields remain, may play into more features in the future. ;) -> Mouse cursor will now disappear during the active round of gameplay and reappear for menus. -> I am pretty sure I resolved the heat seeking problem. So now it shouldn’t crap out, and just never come back.... please let me know if it craps out and never comes back. -> Fix in place so that slower systems don’t have an advantage by the enemies moving slower. Modified a bunch of things to try to balance out this problem. (initially the problems was just caused by an amateur coding move by myself) So may still be kinks to work out. -> Fix so systems with 120 hz+ monitors run correctly. -> Added a little sparkle effect to the boosterbar at the bottom. -> Enemy bullets are now top priority in layers and will always be at the top. -> Slightly adjusted red of bounce bullet. -> Add image to configuration launcher. Hold (on win)“ALT” or (on osx)“OPTION” then click play to see configuration options. -> And i'm sure some little tiny fixes I forgot to document. Whoops. Thanks for playing everyone. This week has far exceeded my expectations, I greatly appreciate all the awesome reviews, sharing it with your friends, and helping me find bugs and issues. More to come :) Adam Nickerson

A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Easy to learn, simple arcade style Controls to turn your ship and boost (can also use a gamepad) (not a twin stick shooter)
● A variety of wicked Power ups like Split Shot, Heat seekers, Lasers, and Blast Shot to assist your survival.
● Several unlockable ships to pilot with unique attributes to give you an edge in the Leaderboards
● Endless survival (infinite) score chasing game play with a classic arcade style
● Steam achievements, leaderboards & Trading cards! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers)
● Cool retro pixel Graphics.
● Gameplay inspired by Luftrausers, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Geometry Wars (some of my favorites)
● Unique chiptune songs for each ship.
● Manual Fire mode for those that want a different experience.
Description of Gameplay:
Your ship can not stop moving; so turn it left and right and use your boost to keep from running into an ever increasing amount of enemies.
Your ship is always shooting, so make sure to pick up more ammo and the variety of awesome power ups to help you survive longer.
Get the highest score you can while collecting coins to buy more ships that are faster, shoot faster, or have more shields.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not hesitate to contact me if there are any problems with the game.
Bit Blaster is also available free & ad supported on iOS and Android.
Thanks for playing, I hope you have some fun with it :)
