Guess the screen$

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

Not anything to do with Thunderbirds.

The 4 in this case is indicating how many continues are left (at least that's what I think it means) but weirdly it flashes up in gameplay.

At this point the screenshot is showing pretty much the whole gameplay area I think. There's a HUD panel to the right.

The audio lets it down a lot. Some fun in-game music would have brought it to life.

It's the shockingly bad bullet visibility for me. Like the bullets aren't even whole. They're even harder to see than they could have been.

Keyboard layout is gash too.

Game of Life? (No idea if it was even on the Speccy, but that's what it looks like).

Not game of life. It's part of an animation and about 3x3 chars in size. Zoomed a bit out.

Not Splat.
The game is probably too easy to spot from it's unique style, so I took a frame of an animation. Zoomed out again.
Spoiler
It's an exploding object.
