Shmup Yourself

You’re the pilot of a spaceship trapped in a closed arena. There are no enemies… except yourself.

Each time you fire a bullet, your score goes up — but those bullets never disappear, they bounce endlessly around the arena, turning your safe space into a chaotic bullet hell.

Can you survive your own greed?

The more you risk, the sweeter the biscuit (score) — but every shot makes survival harder.

🎮 Controls

Turn / Steer Ship → Left & Right arrow keys or A & D keys

Shoot Bullet (Gain +1 score) → Left Mouse Button

Boost Speed → Right Mouse Button (great for dodging, but risky to handle!)

Restart : "R" key.

Music off : "s" key.

🏆 Goal of the Game

Score as high as possible by shooting bullets.

Survive as long as you can while dodging the deadly ricocheting bullets.

Balance greed vs. survival — do you risk it for the biscuit?

🥠 How It Fits the Theme (Risk it for the Biscuit)

Shooting = Reward → Every bullet gives you +1 score (“the biscuit”).

Shooting = Danger → That same bullet becomes a permanent hazard bouncing around (“the risk”).

The game is a pure embodiment of the jam theme: the only way to win points is by making the game harder for yourself.
