Galactic Wars
Galactic Wars is a PICO-8 arcade shooter that Volcano Bytes built during January 2017 as an entry for the One Game A Month challenge, released free to play in the browser alongside Windows, macOS and Linux downloads. The ship moves freely in all four directions while enemy craft arrive in preset formations, and the game is short by design, running about ten minutes to a single closing boss fight. The developer names Gradius, Galaga and R-Type as models, and later reworked the cart into a commercial expanded version, Galactic Wars EX.
