A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Submitted to #DecadeJam

I made rocketgame a few years ago, and it's been sitting, unfinished, since. Just decided I'd update it to show how far I've come.

Rocketgame is the original. Zero sound, all your lasers are full-auto, and there's no set beginning and ending. As soon as you're past the second boss, it's basically impossible.

Gradius+ is the updated version. It has better progression, sound, player feedback, controller support, and screen filters.

CONTROLS;

Spacebar to shoot

Arrow keys to move

GRADIUS+ ONLY WITH CONTROLLER;

 A,B,X,Y/Circle, Square, Triangle, X buttons to shoot.

Left stick to move
