Description
Mock up of the first boss from the game Ikaruga reimagined in old school 2D.Worked on this on and off for a few weeks and I think it came out pretty well. Was day-dreaming about animating everything but my plans got crazily ambitious so I'm just going to leave it as it is.

Totally fantastic pixel work right here man, I salute you.
But seriously I think if this was real, the sheer number of lazers going around teh screen would just, look too bad.

lol, I was just compulsively playing this last night and wanted to look up it's story and I found this! xD
Great work! I love the taste of 16-bit graphics, I find it to be a refreshing break from all the next gen graphics... xD

Yeah, but there don't seem to be that many around these days... or at least they don't seem to get released in Europe anymore.

That is absolutely amazing. How long did it take?

Thanks!
I'm not sure how long it took off the top of my head since I worked on a bunch of other stuff at the same time - I'd say something like 15 hours but that includes doing different versions of the boss and the players and lots of little variations on the tiles and the font.
