CORA
Lore:
You are a CORA unit, built by the Galactic Empire for military use, but you and many other CORA units decided to leave and with that came the collapse of the Empire. You now settle on a strangely familiar planet to spend the rest of your days with other rogue units, but the star system's planet is getting dim and even worse, there are foreign enemies attacking your planet unprovoked. Can you fend off these invaders and restore your star back to its former state?
Extras menu was recently added! Beating new bosses and beating the game with different characters will unlock new extras!
(NOTE: The WebGL version may be a little bit glitchy. i.e. inconsistent framerate, missing shots on some enemies. for a more consistent experience, please download the windows version! We do not plan to fix bugs that are present in the WebGL version that are not present in the downloadable version. The full release is intended to be download only and WebGL is just a way to quickly play our demo)

Finally got around to play this! For now I beat the WebGL version however it felt pretty polished and didn't run into any game breaking bugs. It's very, very similar to the Touhou series, but it's fun and the lore is fairly intriguing.
The art is really cool. The sprite work is well done. The 3D-pixelated background gives it a cool look as well (even if I wish the gray sections where a bit more detailed, although IK it's a hard balance to have so that it doesn't distract from the bullets).
The level also ramps up organically, I don't have any complaints in terms of progression or difficulty.
The music is really dope as well. It borrows some elements from Touhou/ZUN but has its own identity.
The boss could do with some animations, tho.
Overall, really enjoyed it so far! Can't wait to see how it evolves.
Thank you for playing and enjoying! Admittedly, the environment in the background is lacking right now. We've been focused on other aspects of the game. We've just put flat grey boxes where we intend to put buildings soon and animation is hard so we've been putting it off, but we do intend to put it in during our polish phase of the game haha
I'm very happy you enjoyed what we have so far!
It's a Nice Touhou clone, but I think the game speed is too fast. Toning it down to 50% slower would be great.
The webgl version of this game was tested on a 60hz monitor so I didn't even realize that the framerate was an issue... We'll make a quick update to fix that since I imagine the game must be going like 144 or something for you. The downloadable version was tested on a higher refresh rate monitor and that worked as intended. I apologize for the issues.
