Title: Shippy 1984 - Looking Cute

I've been maintaining Shippy 1984 for a few years. It can be found on Fedora and is available on github. It is a simple Space Invaders/Galaxian like game. I decided to try doing a cute 'em up makeover of the game. Here is a dev video explaining what I've done.

As part of my continuing attempt to find funding for open source game work, I’ve made Shippy 1984 available for purchase at [dulsi.itch.io](https://dulsi.itch.io). This is the cute modification that is not available in github at the moment. The plan is to release the changes to github after a short period of time. The source is available with the binaries.

It still doesn’t have all the changes I want to make. I’d like a villain portrait to mock you when you lose, add more powerups, a vertical scrolling segment and a boss battle.

Lots of smaller improvements have been going in. The ship now transforms when you get a powerup. Powerups are per person instead of both players. Support for two controllers added. Game over cut scenes added. Most of these changes are restricted to the "cute" mode.
