Does anyone play these types of games anymore?

Although, it isn't my kind of game, I did play it. It wasn't that bad graphically, the music was okay, but there was no challenge. No reason to be playing, except trying to get a high score. A fad that isn't so important today, as it was in the 80s, 90s ... I wouldn't go off my opinion though, as I said it isn't my kind of game so I wouldn't know what's good or what's bad. I'm mainly into RPGs, Action RPGs, tactical RPGs, and such on....

 

[RadethDart]

Thanks for playing it at least, that is all I wanted. :D It was my first game maker project, and I just wanted to try something out...my next game with game make is going to have strategy and more challenges now that I understand the program. :D

Mainly people are into RPGs if they are here, I know, but I thought I would give it a shot.

Well its a stable and seemingly bugless vertical shooter at the moment. The gameplay is rather repetitive since all your enemies do the same thing (its just that the amount of them changes over time and they shoot a bit more). But its a working proof of concept if i've ever seen one. You should try and add different projectiles and enemy types and strategies. This would prolly be a decent platform for experimenting with different projectile physics and enemy "AI".

 

[RadethDart]

Yeah, that is what I am using as a skeleton for my new games...the AI isn't bad, and it can be reused in other games, and I am using it to make another vertical shooter...but this next one is going to be way more advanced in design...just gotta get the sprites and other pixel art done.

It's called retro for a reason, who cares about graphics.
