Rules

As the name implies, Caravan Angel is inspired by the caravan modes of many PC Engine/TG-16 shmups. The focus is on using speed, precision, and memorization to rack up large scores. The game only ends when the timer runs out, or when the player hits zero lives. If the boss is beaten before the timer runs out, the game loops back around to the beginning, allowing more time to score. 

Power-ups spawn whenever a wave is destroyed with no enemies escaping. They stay on the screen indefinitely and can be collected at the player's convenience. Which power-up spawns depends on what the player needs in that moment. 

Credits

I followed along with the LazyDevs basic shmup tutorial to make Caravan Angel, albeit with heavy modifications and additions. 

All art, music, sound, and code not originally in the tutorial was made by me. No AI was used. Users on the LazyDevs discord helped heavily with code review, playtesting, and guidance. Big thanks to Druid Ignacy, Washburnello, Kevin, Martin G, and the rest of the community for letting me bounce ideas off ya'll.
