The Lowrez Jam is now over and my little entry ranked 154 out of 430.  Glad I ranked in the top 36%.  Thank you to everyone who tried and rated my game.

I've started the process of adding 8 directional shielding, though my initial implementation of it looks absolutely horrid.(decided to just 'rotate' the sprite 45 degrees, which at such a low resolution was obviously a bad idea).  If I have some time later today I'll make a more SANE pass at adding the feature and possibly do a couple of other little tweaks and upload a new version.

Debating making a deluxe version with the 64x64 resolution bumped to 180x180(given the mechanics, I kinda like the idea of keeping the aspect ratio square) and properly implementing the Godot midi player so I can easily add more music.
