New version released as early alpha! I did this bc the game kinda works as a nice screensaver right now ><

Press 1-5 to equip/un-equip weapons, everything auto-fires right now. Once you reach the top it just restarts. Levels just go up for now...

Levels now go up!

I tweaked the turning radius and bullet speed, still a lot of testing to do there but this feels much better. Next up is damage to the player from collisions and consuming engine power when firing

Space Courier 2! Almost certainly what it's not going to be called! Early Alpha screensaver version released!

Use WASD!

Press 1-5 to equip/unequip systems

Press 'G' to activate auto-pilot and enjoy the screensaver!

All the other systems are still WIP =D

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

Phaser beams on full!

New ability & auto-firing is working for both weapon types. Many more abilities in the pipeline too! I like the particle effects on the collisions so far but I want to add some color there. I'm getting sick of this grey ship too..

@ryon is a Jolter to Watch, game dev, programmer, and artist who worked on Five Nights at Friedrich's! Follow @ryon before the quest ends on July 15 and you'll get Coins!

Tweaked the background a bit, layers are more subtle and have varying opacity. I added particles to the laser hitting rocks & there's health and damage logic working there too. There's gems and tractor beam action too! Look as the number goes up!

Created the game page!

Early asteroid development in this version. Lasers destroy them as well as them colliding with one another. I'm experimenting with a sort-of-random decision on which asteroid is destroyed in the collision (or both).

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Meteeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssss!!!!

EXP on left, health in the center, and engines on the right. As long as you're not using energy the engines recharge. Base weapon ability won't use energy but boosting and specials will consume energy, as will braking.
