I’ve been play­ing lots of Touhou lately, and I thought it would be fun mak­ing my own Shmup! I’m going to borrow/steal some of the game­play mechan­ics from Touhou, like hold­ing shift to focus move­ment

Player ship

I have worked on it for a cou­ple of hours and I got the basics down: A player ship that can move and shoot. Noth­ing too chal­leng­ing yet; next is cod­ing some basic ene­mies to shoot.
