STAR KID, a game I made for the PG Jam in about six hours.
You're Star Kid, and you're looking for space candies! Use your controller or the keyboard to play. Use the ARROW KEYS to move, and press the Z KEY to launch starbursts. As you collect the Green Candies, powerups become available. Activate them by pressing the X KEY. Go for a high score!
There are six different power-ups in the game... Have you seen them all?
ENJOY!!!
The PG Jam was hosted on Itch.io in late November. The theme was that all games entered would be family-friendly. I was thinking of my nephews (who are both gonna be 6 years old) while making this, and I figured they would like the visuals. More mature/experienced players will enjoy the powerup mechanics, skill shots, and the various ways to maximize their score.

I've updated the link here for the better build of the game. It has an updated HUD and sounds, as well as autofire and controller support. If any of those things interest you, then please have a go at this version of the game. You will dig it.
