Crankani
Crankani is a game for the Playdate handheld console. It is a shoot-em-up inspired by Galaga, Gradius, and most of all, Ikaruga.
In it, you control a space crab (or perhaps a crab-like spacecraft. You decide!) and must dodge bullets, fire bullets of your own, and defend yourself with a potent but limited phase shifting ability. Good luck!
Building
To build this code, install the Playdate SDK and run make. Update PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH in the Makefile if you have installed the SDK somewhere other than ~/playdate.
make should produce a directory called Crankani.pdx. You can open this in the Playdate Simulator and sideload it onto your Playdate from there.
The Makefile is designed to be run under Linux and is untested on other platforms.
