Behind the Scenes
WARWIND was solo developed over a month to take part in the Lazy Dev's "SHMUP Showcase" . I'd like to thank everyone that offered feedback on the game during development , particularly in the Lazy Devs discord community .
Unfortunately I didn't get the time to make the final boss in time for the deadline , so be sure to keep in touch with me at 0xFFB3 on twitter
I have the game marked as paid to download , but if you really want to mod the game and genuinely can't afford the $2 message me on twitter and we can chat !

Pretty nice, too bad about the ending
It's a good game, i like it
Had a lot of fun playing that game it really is great work, I got a heart attack when I entered Pont Grenouille. Though I got skill soft locked at Neiry's boss and after 15 minutes of trying I gave up.
thanks for playing !
yeah I've definitely got to drop the difficulty of that one down just a bit :')) Appreciate the comment <3
What an epic gamer 😎
damn ! really nice work <3
in the weird money thing at the start how do i accecpt it and get out of the promt im confused
sorry mate I'm not sure exactly what you mean , could you send me over a screenshot ?
Pretty cool bullet hell. It's nice and challenging.
thank you mate !
wanted to make it tough as hell >:)
it is
the second boss -_- pls nerf
It's definitely a jump in difficulty ! haha~~
might need to look into it if more people feel this way though
I also feel this way, it's so difficult
Would it be possible to make the pico-8 cart available for download?
Absolutely ! the cart is already available for download on this page for 2USD , if you genuinely can't front the cost send me a dm on twitter <3
The cart isn't listed when I click the Download link.
Updated right now ! sorry I took so long to get back- added the .p8 files to the download link <3
Really innovative take on the genre ! I was surprised by the "recoil" you get from shooting but I think I like it, it makes the game more strategic ! I love the idea of zones you can explore too.
Also, is music planned for the game ?
I'm glad you came to like the recoil mechanic ! I wanted to make shooting a bit more of a decision rather than just holding the button the entire time .
Music is definitely planned ! and will probably come to the game alongside the final boss
Super shmup. i love it. i really like how the shooting makes the plane more sluggish and presses you backewards, nice touch.
Thank you ! I wanted to make the game feel a bit different to a shmup- so I've been getting a lot of comments from people who didn't like that feature all !
So It's really appreciated you saying that you like it !
Thank you for playing <3
