Today is a good day to Wishlist Phobos Down if you haven't already done that:

Less hectic than your usual #bullhell, more strategic than a traditional #shmup. A minimalist #twinstickshooter where every run is different.

Added minor evasive movements to all smaller enemies when getting hit. Just a little bit of self-preservation makes them look much more natural.

Yesterday I worked a bit on my website for a change: Phobos Down high score tables can now be viewed on the game's web page.

I accidentally made a new top high score in my own game. This game run turned into a proper bullet hell in the end.

I added a small progress bar on the previously black screen shown when pre-compiling shaders. And fixed that zoom animation playing hidden during the pre-compilation phase. Recorded on Steam Deck where this phase takes the longest time.

I added this tiny arrow indicator around the player. It guides the player towards extraction zone at mission end and to nearest healing device when badly hurt. This replaces the blinking healing device indicators at screen edges.

The first two images are alternative mockups for "HUD" kill score indicators at the top of the screen before implementation. The last two show how it turned out after many iterations.

These completely new kill streak indicators now show up after two fast enough consecutive kills. Here you can see that skull icon that I showed earlier this week.

I've been making many small improvements to emphasize the high score shooter aspect of Phobos Down. First of all, some added "juice" to the score and equipment level indicators at the top of the screen.

I made this in #inkscape for Phobos Down. Guess what's it going to be used for in the game!
You will see it in my next #screenshotsaturday post.

This is how the space ship interior scene turned out (in Godot editor / in-game). I will probably improve this later but this is good enough for now.

I have very little visible progress to show this week but I started modeling a tiny section of player ship interior for possible use in the intro sequence..
