Red Shadow
Red Shadow by sawdust is a bullet hell style game where you are a rocketship that must shoot its way through various enemies. You collect coins and use those in the shop to upgrade various aspects of your ship. You avoid bullets and enemies by moving either left or right, or up and down.
This is an infinite game where death is caused by an unshielded impact with a hexagon, or direct contact with an enemy, which blows the ship up.
The 3 types of ammunition available are plasma, missiles and lasers. Plasma acts as bullets, missiles are guided towards an enemy, and lasers can hit any enemy within its path.
Enemies
Cube, Gen 1 - First enemy you meet; a green cube surrounded by white tubing. Does not shoot anything, and is basically ready to be shot. Requires 1 plasma to kill it without any upgrades, and it yields 25 score, and 1 coin upon death.
Tank Cannon, Gen 1 - An enemy which locks onto your position, and shoots a hexagon. Requires 2 plasma to kill it without any upgrades, and it yields 50 score, and 2 coins upon death.
