Pico '42

<Updated! Apparently I left in a 'pause' hack I put in to capture the title image. Removed!>

Left/Right/Up/Down to move, shoot with X.

This is my second finished project using Pico-8., working from the excellent tutorial from ztiromoritz:
'A PICO-8 Spaceshooter in 16 Gifs'. https://ztiromoritz.github.io/pico-8-shooter/

I ran across the tutorial and ran through it with my 12 year. We both liked the end result, but I wanted to try a different style of vertical shooter. Years ago I owned a pizza restaurant and I had a 1942 arcade table, which I played a lot! Here is my 1 day attempt to remake it using the above tutorial as a base.   

There is a simple wave manager in place that pulls wave data from a string. There are a few different spawn 'patterns', and support for me to easily add more. So far, only one level is in place and there really isn't much going on. Ideally I'd love to have a high score table, way more levels and more complex patterns.
