Games
Galaxy Shooter is a 2D arcade sci-fi game where players take on the role of a space pilot defending the galaxy from waves of space enemies. The game offers a fast-paced, action-packed experience, challenging players to survive as long as possible while achieving high scores.
Technical Details
Player Lives: The player starts with 3 lives, adding an element of strategy and survival.
Scoring System: Tracks high scores and current scores, encouraging players to beat their personal best.
Power-ups: Three distinct power-ups enhance gameplay:
Speed Boost: Increases player ship's speed.
Triple Shot: Allows the player to fire three lasers simultaneously.
Shield: Provides temporary protection against enemy hits.
Enemy Interaction: Enemies die upon being hit by the player's laser, and each enemy-player collision deducts one life from the player while destroying the enemy.
The game continues indefinitely, becoming progressively more challenging.
Game Modes:
Single Player: Solo gameplay where one player fights against the enemy waves.
Co-op Mode: Two players can play together on a single device, promoting cooperative gameplay.
My Development Journey
I developed Galaxy Shooter as a fun side project to enhance my game development skills. The project was part of my learning experience while enrolled in Udemy's Ultimate Game Development course. This project allowed me to apply concepts learned in the course, experiment with game mechanics, and improve my coding proficiency in a creative and enjoyable way.
