Bit Blaster XL V1.20 is now live
--> Added a new weapon "Giant" shot that is a large bullet that will split into four small bullets upon impact. --> The last heatseeker bug was found and fixed (even though this one was very rare) --> Explode shot is now correctly untied from frame rate so effect should be more visible and useful --> Exploding enemy ship now has a warning blink that makes more sense on more resolutions. --> Menu system has been correctly slowed down and balanced on all builds, no more "a" button restarts and having the menu in your face while playing. --> Bounce bullet has had minor modifications in its color and size and ability. --> More implementation of fixes for various frame rates and hardware. Should now run more balanced and smoother on more machines (hopefully all at the same speed) So a slower machine will no longer get weirdly varying speeds of ships. --> And a variety of other small GFX changes and tweaks. Thank you to everyone for playing and offering feedback and leaving great reviews. I really appreciate it. Please continue to share Bit Blaster XL with friends and family. -Adam Nickerson

Bit Blaster XL Soundtrack
A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Easy to learn, simple arcade style Controls to turn your ship and boost (can also use a gamepad) (not a twin stick shooter)
● A variety of wicked Power ups like Split Shot, Heat seekers, Lasers, and Blast Shot to assist your survival.
● Several unlockable ships to pilot with unique attributes to give you an edge in the Leaderboards
● Endless survival (infinite) score chasing game play with a classic arcade style
● Steam achievements, leaderboards & Trading cards! (with emoticons & profile wallpapers)
● Cool retro pixel Graphics.
● Gameplay inspired by Luftrausers, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Geometry Wars (some of my favorites)
● Unique chiptune songs for each ship.
● Manual Fire mode for those that want a different experience.
Description of Gameplay:
Your ship can not stop moving; so turn it left and right and use your boost to keep from running into an ever increasing amount of enemies.
Your ship is always shooting, so make sure to pick up more ammo and the variety of awesome power ups to help you survive longer.
Get the highest score you can while collecting coins to buy more ships that are faster, shoot faster, or have more shields.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not hesitate to contact me if there are any problems with the game.
Bit Blaster is also available free & ad supported on iOS and Android.
Thanks for playing, I hope you have some fun with it :)
