Shoot ‘Em Up Game in under 4Kb
There’s talk of a competition to make a Flash game in under 4Kb (link). So I thought I’d have a go. This is what I managed to create in about 4 hours. It’s an R-Type style shoot ‘em up. Use the cursor keys to move the ship and hold down space to fire. I found myself renaming variables to single characters in order to save on file size. It might be even smaller if I use a compression program to shrink it. Game play lacks at bit but there’s only so much you can achieve in 4Kb although I like the movement and explosions.
