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 !

second boss is brutal
way too many phases and way to hard, love this game but the 2nd boss needs to be nerfed
hlep
im invincible and cant mov
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
