Pheon
By BitZero - Added On 9/24/2010
Originally created for the Second GameJolt Jam, Pheon was intended to be a small-scale bullet-hell/boss SHMUP. However, over the past month it's evolved into a larger game with ten bosses, three modes, 12 attainable trophies, and other goodies.
The gameplay is relatively simple. You use the WASD keys to move the player ship, while aiming with the mouse. Shooting is automatic, so you don't need to worry about finger cramps. All you need to worry about is dodging the barrage of bullets, not crashing into the enemies, and blowing up said enemies.
Pheon features:
- Three gameplay modes (basically the same, but with greater challenge)
- 12 trophies
- Customizable HUD/Ship color
- Online statistics
- Online highscores
- 10 bosses
- Music by Ashley Gwinnell
- GameJolt API (created by UnknownGamer)
Controls:
* WASD - Move the player
* Right Click - Bomb
* Mouse - Aim
* Escape - Quit/Pause Menu
Enjoy!

I give it a 4/5
Good job, keep up the good work! :)
First of all, thanks everyone. :3
@GBS: Thanks, and I'm aware the game's a little on the difficulty side. :P
@Scoz: The damage cooldown was something I didn't think of, but it sounds like a very nice idea. :P Also thanks for the helpful, long comment.
@Zack: <3
@Huruey: Yeah, using the touchpad probably makes it way, way harder than it should be. xP
@KB: <3<3 For the feature.
@Martoon: That's odd. I or any of the other beta-testers I had experienced that kind of a problem. :/ Sad that you didn't get to experience Ashley's music.
@Darshell: Thanks. :3
@Amidos: Music brought to you by the awesome Ashley. <3
Nice game! I agree with others, though, that the difficulty starts too hard. Weaving though bullet curtains with the keyboard is pretty tough.
