Pride Fighters
A downloadable gay-me for Windows and macOS
Across the Universe, a thick blanket of HATE has fallen... Who will save us? Who will bring back COLOUR to the Universe?
Pride Fighters is a gay-me we made over the course of 6 days for a little jam to get us used to working in Godot!
Choose between six delightfully LGBT characters to fight back against the rising shadow that threatens to extinguish the light of love in this short but sweet SHMUP
Download
Install instructions
Windows
Download, extract the zip file, and run the Pride Fighters game!
macOS
Download, open the .DMG, and run Pride Fighters (*theoretically)
Apple may complain about security settings because we haven't paid them to sign the app.
If this is the case - right click the app to bring up the context menu. Then, hold the "Option" key, and click "Open" at the top of the menu. This should now give you a similar looking warning, but, there's now a button to run the game anyway!
Steam Deck
Theoretically this should work?? You'll have to bind the left analogue stick or Directional Pad to the WASD keys, and two buttons to space (for firing) and F (for advancing dialogue), and, use the touch screen for navigating menus.
Let us know how you get on with it! (We're looking to include better controller support for future)

hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting the game to run.
I'm on windows 10 and I downloaded the folder multiple times, always getting the same errors.
When I try to unzip it I get this error
despite it obviously not being empty (the Folder is ~450KB)
and when I try to open the .zip folder by double clicking it I get this error
When I used 7zip to extract the files I got this
and a Folder with an application that won't run (error, it asks if the .pkg file is missing)
ah, i'm super sorry! my best guess is this could likely be an anti-virus issue, or, an issue with the download becoming corrupt.
if you aren't using it, I'd recommend using the itch.io desktop app - it's typically much better at handling corrupted downloads, and, extracting data in such a way that anti-virus doesn't get sad. it also lets you keep track of what games you have installed, and, easily update the game when we release new patches :)
hi! just to come back to this - this was an issue on itch.io's end, and should now be fixed! let us know if you're still having issues with downloading the game :)

Hey there!! Another patch up, this time to fix the music looping. Version 1.03, this time with our wonderfully written music playing more than one time, is available on Windows and will be available on Mac as soon as our Resident Mac User™ is able to build it and upload it!
Known Issues:
- [macOS only] Music looping can sometimes fail -> this should be an easy fix, and, just got lost in the rush of pre-launch commits!
- Rare crashes when going back to hangar -> currently investigating!
- sadly this does not happen in debug builds, or on macOS, so, this may take a little while to track down
Future technical things we're exploring:
- a web build!!
- we didn't quite have time to crunch a lot of the super amazing art down to run in a browser, so, this is something being explored for future!
- Godot looks to have a really nasty bug for web builds on macOS, which, makes it hard for me (once again, Mac user) to do good performance testing, so we weren't confident publishing the web build
- checking Steam Deck / Linux compatibility!
- nothing we're doing SHOULD stop this game from running under Wine/Proton
- when I'm a little less busy, i'll load this onto my Steam Deck, and check bindings! we believe everything should Just Work
- if this fails, we'll export a native build for Linux, and, get that up here alongside the Windows and macOS builds
Hi hi hi! Quick livepatch is uploading now with some fixes:
- Rebalanced Sparky (sorry speedrunners, Sparky Strat is dead)
- Fixed background scrolling issues
- Fixed dynamic background changes
- Fixed background blur being too strong
- Fixed EMF from the sun being too strong, and interrupting homing bullets from seeking their ways to ships
Just download the new v1.02 version, and you're good to go!
