RetroPixel Malaga

Hi Spacecowboys or girls!

Getting ready to go to a new game convention here in Málaga, Spain, this weekend and show the game to my city. This update brings a lot of polish from playtesting, as well as the ability to swim on planets. I’ve been wanting to implement this for a long time. When you swim, you won’t get shot by enemies, but you can’t dash anymore nor fight. Sharing some youtube videos with this update.

Here is some swimming in action:
