Finally, after more than a year of development I am proud to present this Nanobeast to fellow newgroundians.
The game is a challenging retro shooter with an interesting upgrade system that involves collecting power-ups. However, when you collect a power-up (P) that does not mean you have upgraded immediately. You get to choose how to use those power-ups to upgrade your general stats:
- speed of your ship (you need 1 power-up)
- power of your weapon (you need 2 power-ups)
- fire rate of your weapon (you need 3 power-ups)
- bombs (you need 4 power-ups)
- lives (you need 5 power-ups)
There are 2 additional weapons to be collected as you play: missiles and side gun.
There are 27 medals to be achieved, go get them!!!
CONTROLS:
Use the arrow keys to move
Press 'A' to shoot left
Press 'D' to shoot right
Press 'S' to activate your current power-up level
Press 'W' to release a bomb
The game is generally very challenging. There are three difficulty settings: normal, hard and insane. There is no easy.
The highscore system multiplies your score depending on which difficulty setting you play and how many medals you have collected.
The game features original 8-bit music written especially for 'Nanobeast' by Christian Erenskjold a.k.a Coffee-Break, a very talented NG musician. Other musicians who also contributed are listed in the credits.
I have been developing and beta testing this game heavily for a long time. Any feedback and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Sweet game!
Probably the best game I have played in awhile because it was so much fun! It did get worse as you lost your weapons. To think, at first I thought you didn't lose your weapons as you died, but I was wrong. Another cool thing was how the graphics were so simplistic, but it was still very hard! It made sense that you got a medal simply for completing each level. The graphics reminded me of some of the games made by poxpower.
Obviously, you are good in your own right. Another neat thing was how the enemies all had fairly unique designs. They came out in some of the weirdest and funniest shapes I could imagine for a game like this. I have little doubt such a cool game will pass judgement. With all those enemies coming at you, the bosses are actually the easiest of all!
I'm quite happy how all those enemies turned out considering that that's my first project in which I use pixelated graphics. Thank you for playing!

Very well made!
The game is amazing!
I love the current controls and I've always preferred a side scrolling shooter and instead of a Space Invader type deal. I also love the fact that there is an 8-bit version of Chop Suey, SOAD is one of my favorite bands!
Love the game keep it up!
