This was originally submitted to #LOWREZJAM 2020 as a proof of concept. The jam required a game to be 64x64 pixels, which means only 8x8 ASCII characters.
The updated version and the Game Jam version are available for download.
LASER LOOTER will be further developed into a bigger and better game in the future.

Looks like great fun. I suppose a mac port is out of the question?
No, can't do Mac (I have to own a Mac to compile for Mac with the program I'm using).
I would be able to do Linux upon request, I just have to reinstall the OS.
I played it in Linux using wine, and it worked perfectly (I think, maybe it's more amazing on windows).
It's hard! Those aliens kept dodging my lasers, and I could only see them form 3 steps away. Still fun :)
Nice, glad it works in Wine. I usually compile all of my games for Linux, but I'm moving and my Linux machine is in storage.
It is hard! I'll be upping the resolution once the LOWREZJAM is over, so that should help. Thanks for playing.
