Really nice interpretation of Robotron, especially given the limitations of your target platform. Your spriting is great considering the size you are working with. A fun to play mini-clone of one of my all-time favs!
Been playing these since my teenage arcade days of the 80s. It's a great little top-down shooter , lovely sprites and particle effects , smooth play with all the nuances . BUT the fire control is awful IMO - I would love it to have a 4 button (e.g IJKL) 8 way fire i.e a proper 'twin-stick' game . As it is , I find it unplayable
Unfortunately I don't think this would be possible on the target platform (Pico-8). Pico-8 only has two fire buttons. Even for Pico-8 compatible devices (such as the Clockwork Pi and RG350) that have four fire buttons, they can't all be mapped.

OK , sorry , I didn't realise you has such technical limitations - it's such a good game.

Nice job! Keep going - there's a surprise waiting on stage 21...
