The next release is out the door! This was a rewrite taking the experience from the first release and doing it in a more organized way and making videos of the process. There are some major improvements to the game play. Some things are missing from the beta 2, which I felt got in the way of being an enjoyable game. I was considering turning this into a video class on making a game but I am still not 100% happy with the game. Having to use pixel based collisions makes it difficult to get the sprite rotation  they way I want. Maybe I will figure it out on the next version.

If you want to see the videos on how this game was built check them out on my YouTube channel.
