theb1rdm4n has a brand new Homebrew Idol-ified version of his shooter up for grabs… After playing a few intensified rounds and calling it quits, you’ll soon be re-launching “Birdman’s Shooter” with the mentality of destroying your previous high score; it’ll do that. I’m going back in for more, right after taking this opportunity to calm myself and share version 1.3 with y’all first.

What’s theb1rdm4n gotta say?

It is loosely based off of the game Galaga. The game pits you against endless waves of enemies that get harder as the game goes on. Every 8 levels there is a bonus level and the enemies get harder, but the enemy count resets back to level one and continues to grow every level. If you perfect a bonus level you get an extra life and bonus points. Scores grow exponentially as the current level and difficulty increase. Scores are also slightly based off of your accuracy, so the more accurate you are, the higher your score will be.

Birdman’s Shooter v1.3 highlights:

• A sleek new interface
• Gameover screen changed
• New options screen
• Options and high scores are saved
• 10 backgrounds, 5 bullet colors, and 11 player’s ship colors
• New high score table that displays: score, level, and accuracy for top 10
• Completely revamped scoring system
• New power-up that slows enemies for a few seconds
• New loading screen with loading bar
• New bonus level with stats screen

See the release thread for the complete change log and additional screenshots.
