Demo
Aim
Try to earn as much money as you can before you complete 5 runs or get battered by asteroids.
- 2 hits to the same place on the ship means game over
- Your score is your money
Instructions
- Buy components from the passing by scrap ship to kit your ship out with some lasers and cargo slots (the green squares)
- Click and drag a component to grab it
- Place it into any blue slot on your ship to place it
- Use Q and E to rotate lasers to make sure they fire in the correct direction
- Lasers have a range and a cooldown
- Place your cargo slots carefully to catch as many cargo boxes as you can as you fly past them
- The game gets harder every run, so make sure to keep buying lasers
Project
I decided I wanted to try to build a game in 5 days as I’ve previously taken on much bigger projects and never completed them.
Taking a board game I enjoy greatly (Galaxy Trucker) I spent a few hours translating it into a video game idea where you had to put a bit of thought into your design, but ultimately you had no control over what happens during the actual run.
Technology
Built in Unity 2019.1.3 using the following assets:
- Asteroids provided by Ruaridh Smith
