Here's a video of me playing Hard Mode in Key Gunner! Think you can beat my score?

Well heck, I didn't know that gifs won't play on Bluesky yet. I'll have to put together a new video, but here's a video I posted a while back in the meantime!

Bonus #ScreenshotSaturday clip! Here is a longer play session than I've posted before, on Hard difficulty. Included are the other two enemy types, with one and two letters. (Also, there's a graphical bug that I've now fixed, so ignore that if you spot it! ;) )

Key Gunner is at last ready for publication! The last work I had was fleshing out the menu into a properly functional menu, which you can see in this clip:

Finally took the time to make a clip of Key Gunner's finalized Game Over screen!

Here's some gameplay! Only two enemies show up in the clip, but there are four of them total. The other two have fewer letters and move more quickly!

I'm currently working on Key Gunner, a game about shooting enemies by typing! I just finished the v1 of the main menu (layout will change once I add options, high scores, achievements, etc.).

Gameplay in the replies!
