Use left and right arrow keys to move.

Use spacebar to shoot bullets at the enemy.

I've reach 58s !
Html version don't display green pixel because of recompile button.
You can get ride of it by removing line <a class="superdev" ...  in <body> in html/webapp/index.html

& margin can be remove by adding
cfg.padHorizontal = 0;
cfg.padVertical = 0;
To html/src/.../HtmlLauncher.java in getConfig()

Thanks so much for the advice! I made those changes, it seems like the recompile button is gone. The padding is also gone. Sorry I didn't really look into this before because mine was a last minute submission. Anyway, is there a judging or voting period in this jam? Because if that's the case, I can't add the updated files before that period. Otherwise, I'll add the changes right away.

Again, thanks so much!

Edit: I also added some background music and sfx for the bullet.

There is no hard death line for the libgdx jam. But Raleus that will review jam will do it the 2023-04-01. He will not give notes but share what he like in the games.

Ok, then I'll add the changes on Apr 1

Great Entry! I survived 45 secs, beat that! XD

Thank you so much! I never expected someone to call this great wow. This is my first game I've ever sent in for a jam. There aren't even any sound fx or music lol. But thanks again!
