It's a shooter
Use arrow keys to move and space to fire. I made this game with C++, SDL2, and Emscripten. It is basically one of many tutorial games I am making as part of my journey to becoming a game dev. It's not particularly original or interesting but I hope it will be one step in my journey to making the kind of games I really want to make.
It's a shooter
idk if you'll update it because as you said you're making many games to improve your coding.
you should add more power ups because it gets stale quickly and idk what the pp power up does . maybe more types of enemies. the enemy projectiles are hard to see because there's so many little things moving in the background so you should probably make it a bit more unique so it's easier to see. and the last thing i suggest is when you die that it brings you to the menu where you have to press space to start
good luck with your game dev journey :)
A basic, but fun shooter, with a neat notepad-ish artstyle.
Being limited to the left half of the screen felt pretty arbitrary, though, and combined with powerups random movement to make picking them up a bit of a gamble.
