> A scrolling space shooter where you collect power ups to level your ship, and collect credits to buy new spaceships in the shop. Stay alive as long as you can!

Hi, This is my first game. Its a space shooter where you stay alive as long as possible. Shoot enemies for powerups, healing and credits. use credits to buy new ships, and each ship has its own special ability with a cooldown timer. Ammo also has a cooldown timer so it can’t be spammed.

It could probably be bigger and better but it is very asset heavy. I am teaching at school so I am trying to limit the size of the games so it can be loaded on to a microbit v2, as that is what we are using at school.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Welcome to the community, @Solek! Also, like @Tatopotato said, this is a great first game! At least I think it’s your first game…

Thank you, yah it’s my first game, I learned quite a lot and wanted to make something flashy for the children, to get them excited to make their own game. I loved doing this so much I have already started a second game.

Holy. This is without a doubt one of the better Space Shooter games I’ve ever played on MakeCode along with being amongst the GOATED first games posted by a user on the forums. Really nice work.
