Tworbit

A tiny pico-8 game built in a few hours for #tweettweetjam 6, in less than 560 characters of source code.

• Use the arrow keys ⬅️/➡️ to move your ship
• ❎ (X on most keyboards) to fire
• Clear all enemies ★ on a level to advance
• There are 9 levels

It's not much of a game, sadly-- it was mostly an exercise to try to cram something inspired by Gyruss into 560 characters.

Source code:
