Ticaruga
Ticaruga is a remake of the first stage from Ikaruga, crafted for the Demake Jam 2018. It’s Delta’s third TIC80 game, blending fast-paced action with a unique twist: your ship changes color between black and white, and only bullets of the opposite color cause damage. This mechanic forces players to think strategically about movement and combat. Controls are simple—arrow keys for movement, Z to shoot, and X to flip polarity. The game runs on TIC80, with music created using a tracker, and visuals crafted in Aseprite. Delta handled coding and music, while Sklaiser designed the impressive sprites. Ticaruga stands out for its clever design and nostalgic yet fresh jugabilidad. It’s a must-try for fans of retro-inspired action titles. This project highlights the creativity and technical skill of its small but dedicated team. It’s a solid addition to the TIC80 library.
