Yeah, the red level is the last one so far. I designed it this way to make it rather quick, but I'll soon push an update which hopefully will make it last longer. As you know, back in the day many games were just endless loops of increasing difficulty, so the goal was to reach the highest score and that's what I was going for here. Thanks for playing and for commenting. :)
This game is pretty good! Under normal circumstances, I would also say I really like how the text and game over screen look. However, I don't think transparency (as seen in the font and the game over screen) was possible on the Intellivision? I may be wrong, however.
Great! I did like the transparency though, so perhaps you can make it optional after the jam is over (I would completely take it out while the jam is on).
I've updated it to meet the jam requirements. I've also tuned player movement and shooting. Tons of things yet to adjust. It's just too easy to play as it is right now. Lol.
I'll soon play your game and let you know my opinion.
The closest I could find (as far as common fonts go) to the original Intellivision font was using Trebuchet MS and setting the size to 10 (to lower the resolution) and turning off anti-aliasing. There may be other potential choices as well (including downloading the actual Intellivision fonts). I wasn't able to find any way to download the actual Intellivision font without registering with a new art website.

When I got to red background it became very hard, I belive impossible . fun while it lasted.

I just played some more, and I like the background color changing every 1000 points! It feels crisp.
Thanks bro. Did you get to the red level? It's supposed to be the hardest one.
Please let me know if you find any bugs. :)
I just did. I got a score of 7664.
Fun game
Thanks. :)

Thanks for your feedback! You are right. I will correct the UI. Don't want to void my entry over a simple fixable thing. :)

Sure. That sounds like good advice. :)

Looking more like it! I think the two tone text might should be single tone as well (since Intellivision objects are mono-color).
Which one do you mean?
