I created this small dragon shmup for the shmup jam 1

It is my first ever game in pico-8(a retro game engine) so it's not super great.

I used the theme by having the enemies be dragons, and the restriction by having 3 possible "upgrades" when you get a power up orb.

I hope you like it anyways, and devlog coming soon. :)

Made with love <3

Very fun, although I found it easier to just crash onto enemies instead of trying shoot them, unsure if it was intended being able to crash into enemies.

Also found a bug where shots fired from the run before stay continue into the new one.

thanks for playing! Crashing into enemies is an intended mechanic, however you get less points for doing so. (3 for shooting, 1 for crashing) so I thought it balanced it out. I guess I should have lowered the speed. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Well done on the high score!
