Show HN: ParaGopher v1.3.0 – A retro Paratrooper (1982) clone written in Go

https://github.com/ystepanoff/ParaGopher
1•ystepanoff•1h ago
Hey HN! I've been working on ParaGopher, a clone of the classic 1982 IBM PC game Paratrooper, built in Go with Ebitengine.

You control a turret defending your base against waves of helicopters dropping paratroopers. Tilt, shoot, and prevent them from landing — simple to pick up, surprisingly hard to master. Everything is rendered procedurally, so no image assets at all. Sprites (turret, helicopters, paratroopers, parachutes) are all generated with vector drawing at startup.

Pre-built binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows are on the releases page. Otherwise it's just go run cmd/game.go.

Would love feedback (especially on gameplay feel and what features you'd want to see next).
