This is a vertical schmup that uses an Asteroids theme. You just move back and forth at the bottom of the screen and shoot as many asteroids as you can.
Controls (keyboard required):
Arrow keys move your ship left and right
Space bar fires a laser
Escape key exits the game (though not gracefully when played in-browser)
All music is by sawsquarenoise, licensed under CC BY, and comes from the Free Music Archive.
This game came from a great Godot tutorial found here (you'll have to use the Wayback Machine).
There are a bunch of assets that weren't used in the tutorial, so I figured a great way to get better at using Godot would be to come up with whatever excuse I could to shoehorn in those unused assets, whether it makes sense or not.
This won't be much of a real game, and will never be sold, but you're welcome to check it out if you'd like. I do appreciate feedback, even though I may or may not implement suggestions. For me, time and motivation are very limited, and this project is really just practice, so I'm not going to take it all that seriously.
I think I'm good on this one for now
0.5.0:
- Re-added high score
- Remove screen shake when firing laser
- Add controller support (I think it's a bit janky, but it should work...)
- Add pause menu
Finalizing initial options screen and fixed a couple bugs
0.4.2:
- Update engine to Godot 4.3
- Add labels to volume sliders
- Fixed laser sound being cut off
- Fixed menu music resetting between screens
Been a while, but there's been some motivation lately, so this project got updated to Godot 4.2.2.
0.4.1:
- Updated engine from 3.5.2 to 4.2.2
- Feature parity except for high score
- Added keyboard-navigable menu
- Initial options screen
You know what, screw it. I can dev on the Windows machine too, while I finish upgrading the other one:
0.4.0:
- Tiny asteroids now spawn from small asteroids. These do not damage the player, but are worth 500 points!
0.3.0:
- Main menu screen and music
- High score (just the one for now)
