Void Requiem

A bullet hell roguelike with upgrades, squeezed into the small space of a PICO-8 cart.

Pilot a small orange spaceship through endless space filled with enemies and danger. Absorb enemy bullets to charge up your weapons. But, if you let your energy gauge overflow, you're the one taking the damage.

Defeat enemies to gain XP, level up, and choose from a set of upgrades to customize your run.

Features:

• Absorb to fire mechanic - Turn enemy bullets into your own
• 8 upgrades - Try different builds
• 5 distinct weapons - Each with their own feel
• 3 enemy types - Learn their patterns
• 1 boss fight - The final test before looping

See how far you can get, I hope you enjoy!

Note: I used Cursor's tab completion feature when writing the code for this game.
