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.

Gradius-esque
That's what I thought of when I played this. The second thing I thought is that I liked the song to Chapter 3, but it's not listed in the credits or song list. Can you help me out with this one?
Also, levels where the enemies coming from both sides were frustrating as heck, I thought.
I got the song for level3 from the Audio Portal, but when I was submitting the game and went on to credit it I found out it had mysteriously disappeared from the Audio Portal >:(

Excellent Retro
Excellently addictive retro style game. Takes me back to the days of wasting francs in the bars over Belgian beers. I will beat this is insane and I will hold the top score... mark my words.
Respect, FourthCubix. I wish you luck.
