Summer Carnival '22: CrossGunr D+
-- CROSSGUNR D PLUS -- ANOTHER FREE UPDATE!!! --
So I took the code from CrossGunr: Infinite, and I....
- New Graphics and Adjusted Music
- Less slowdown, smoother gameplay ( sorry cave fans! )
- New EX mechanic ( bubbles ) - no bar gained during EX's ... will make it a bit harder but still tuned to perfection!
- Repair Locator (for when you're busy dodging hellfire!)
- Boss Healthbars (yay!)
- Score differential (how close are you to beating your high score?)
- 5 Scores saved on cart - PERMANENTLY!
- Restart Run in Menu (For when the run is forfeit.. :( )
- Reset Scores in Menu (For no reason at all)
--CROSSGUNR DX: FEAST YOUR EYES --
NEW FREE DX UPDATE WITH REDONE ART BY HELICITY (go tell him how awesome it is) ... and maybe some music tweaks :)
--PREPARE YOUR CROSSGUNS--
CrossGunr is a bullet hell inspired caravan shmup for the pico-8, made for the Lazy Devs Basic Shmup Game Jam, and with the help of Lazy Devs Academy Tutorials which can be found at the bottom of this page.
--CONTROLS--

Hello! Really liked this game, so I featured it on my site with some other Pico-8 gems! Keep up the good work! https://erikhoudini.com/the_crypt/arcade/
thanks so much!! I appreciate it :)
"a bit harder" he said. I feel like it's way harder now! But it's so good, all of the improvements carried over from infinite are great. 21,434 is my best so far, haven't managed to clear it yet
Ok went back and played the original, then this one again, and managed to clear it (46717) now I can unclench my butthole
Hahaha! Yess! Awesome job!! And thank you of course for the kind words, yeah maybe a bit (more) harder than expected hehe. Looks like you went back and used original to remember the level layout and then used that knowledge to come back and crush D+! Nice strat!!!
got 13704! this is such a good game :)
aw dang, thanks so much! that means a lot comin from an up and coming dev star like yourself
The concept of the game is just so genius! this could have been like a cave game if you expanded it! And also, tysm!
although you should defenitly do something about this hideous font >.<
Verygoodprofessional ;)
sank you! <3
righteous score my dude! Ggs!!!
Love the game, aktane!! I'm obsessed with it and getting on the leaderboard! >:) I love that the controls are easy but the game is a great challenge.
Go get em! I know you can do it! The video I linked on the itch page, has some high scoring runs if you need some strats! Thanks for the kind words on the game ❤️
This game is freakin AWESOME Aktane - seriously fun, addictive and scorechasingly-superb. Caravan modes got me started playin shmups and this is right up there!
<3 thanks scowsh! appreciate it
Wow, tough game. Love the music though!
Welcome and thanks for playing! It might be a little tough but I hope that if people stick with it, they find their progress swift 😄 I think I should probably put the OST out on Bandcamp... Because it feels like people are jammin!
Can we have the pico8 cart added to the downloads please?
ADDED!
Excellent, thanks!
Well out of my confort zone, but it feels very smooth and I suspect is a wonderful game.
As a total beginner I'm just overwhelmed with the amount of things onscreen at once and can't focus on any but after holding down both fire buttons it did get easier for me.
Awesome!!! I'm glad you got some enjoyment, you're probably further along in the game than you think, I appreciate you trying it out even though it isnt in your genre of comfort!
should have posted the screenshot here :P
screen shot inception. When I edit my post I see screenshot. When I view it no :(![]()
aw yeah
Added leaderboards above! NICE CLEAR, WELL DONE :P
ayo aktane? pog
Hey Gio! Long time. Hope you enjoyed the game!
nice work, and also pretty tough.
It might be a little rough at first, if you find it TOO tough, try holding down both buttons so the EX auto deploys, and play aggressively... you can do it! Use EX to buy space to grab the repair!
It took me quite a few replays to 'get it'. This is a great game, love it!
Ggs! So happy you stuck with it and got the clear :) thanks for playing ❤️
