This is my first (mini) game, created using Unreal Engine 4 without writing a single line of code. Its (loosely) based on Asteroids but with a twist to make things different.
Below are some key points about the game:
You have to stay alive as long as possible.
Points earned from defeating enemies are used to buy powerups.
It's a silly game, made simply in free time for fun.
Ok now the more serious stuff:
CONTROLS
You can switch between Keyboard and Mouse and Controller simply by pressing the space by to use KB+M or the start button to play with Controller (Microsoft 360 controller tested)
Standard controller layouts really but here is the rundown
KB+M - wasd to move, mouse to aim and left click fires, E activates powerups when near them.
Controller - left stick moves, right stick aims, right trigger fires, A activates powerups when nearby.
GRAPHICS
Ok so this was made in a game engine that is in progress itself... Unreal Engine 4 is a hungry mistress and therefore requires some firepower to get it looking sharp.
The game has 4 presets that can be activated by using the 1,2,3 and 4 keys on your keyboard.
These presets go from the lowest possible quality all the way up to the maximum the engine offers natively.
It is likely that running on integrated onboard graphics will give you a poor experience. Unless it happens to be a fairly recent chipset. The game was made using a high performance rig but tested on a budget gaming rig and performed without a hitch.
You may also need to have the latest DirectX version installed and Visual C++ Redistributables that can be found here:
