Making a Little Space Shooter Because I'm Bored (Space Battles)

Arcade Game Design

Figured it was one of the more simpler things to just fiddle around with, so I’m really not gonna be working on it too often. I did like this ramming mechanic I put in though, it makes things a little more engaging than just shooting at whatever spawns at the bottom of the screen.

Gonna add more waves, enemies, and a lot of polish. Of course the name is also temporary, because I’m horrible at names so it’s gonna take a while to find one. Newer versions are gonna be put in here every so often until I feel like it’s finished.

Once that happens, I’m probably just going to forget I ever did this, but here’s the first version.

Little update here, messed around a bit and added/polished some features in the process. Definitely not even halfway finished with the game overall, but in terms of un-botched playability; it’s almost there. I’ll add some finishing touches and put V1.5 in here tomorrow.

Anywho, made 2 background tracks, “Void Cruising” and “High Gear”. Cannot figure out how to send these in a comment however. I also decided on a better name, “Void Reavers” I’ll probably change it again, or if anyone has any other suggestions in mind

Alright, I’ve updated the link, disappointed to see that doesn’t change the thumbnail and name in here though.

[Changelog]

  • Updated name to “Void Reavers V1.5”
  • Updated title screen with new menu options and visual changes
  • Added a new title screen background track
  • Replaced old battle track with a new one
  • Changed the Quick Ship’s light color to blue
  • Tweaked the stats UI, added new stat bar “VR”
  • Added the “Void Reaver” as an (A) Button special
  • Updated the Instructions to fit with the current state of the game, as well as more info on the “Void Reaver” attack

I probably forgot a few things, but I’m pretty sure I listed most of the changes. Tell me what you think, and maybe even suggest changes or other features if you want. But that’s all for now, probably gonna come out with another version in around a week.
