And it comes to an end

So the answer to the question we posed to ourselves in the last blog, could we get the final boss programmed in the final hours? Sadly, the answer was no :(

But thats ok! We still think we got a nice concept out there for people to waste some time on :)

What else did we not get to do?

Well, the elephant in the room would be how almost all the assets being used are resources included with the Arcade library, haha. And the backgrounds are free resources provided under creative commons - see readme for credits. We would have liked to use some more unique assets, but we are programmers first and artists second :)

Lastly, one of the big gameplay hooks we wanted to implement was getting an upgrade to your ship after defeating a boss. Unfortunately, we just didn't have time to implement that. The ultimate goal was to make the game similar to Mega Man where you can freely choose which boss to engage and beating a boss gave you a unique weapon that would help you against other bosses.
