Pubby's bullet-dodging arcade shooter from Ludum Dare 38: you are a tiny Earth with the Moon orbiting as your cannon.

The screen fills with alien ships and huge numbers of bullets; you can fly through the ships but not their shots.

Pubby made it alone for the Ludum Dare 38 Compo in April 2017, whose theme was A Small World, and described it as an early 1980s style arcade shooter. Pubby also wrote an article on its bullet code, danmaku.nes, for the Ludum Dare blog. It is on Action 53 Volume 3.

How to play
