Space Fight 3000 (II) by ComaToes

made by ComaToes for LD30 (JAM)
Kill alien scum!

Game Info

This is a solo entry, splintered from teamawesome's entry. I "borrowed" the team art and sound assets but all the code is my own. Play both games and see how we each did!

Levels 1 and 2 are fixed and closely laid out. 3+ are randomly generated, so you'll need to get used to using boost (right click accelerates toward mouse cursor) to get to places you can't just jump to.

If you stray too far from the play area you'll die, so keep control of your speed and trajectory!

The connection between the worlds is gravity. Everything is affected by it so aim yourself and your bullets accordingly!


Playing the Game

Linux users can play by installing 'python-pygame', cloning from the git repo and running 'spacefight3001.py', e.g.

sudo apt-get install git python python-pygame
git clone git@github.com:ComaToes/spacefight3001.git
cd spacefight3001
python spacefight3001.py

Standalone Windows binary package is available, or you can install python 2.7 and pygame and run from a git clone.

Packaged build for Mac coming soon(tm)

If the default resolution is too high for you, you can change it in spacefight3001.py (camera.WIN_WIDTH and camera.WIN_HEIGHT)

Really great job! I loved the gravity mechanic and had a lot of fun trying to leap off and far as I could while shooting at the aliens. It was a satisfying experience overall

Nice game! I love how bullets are affected by gravity. Boosting was fun as well. Once, an alien strayed so far from the play area I died trying to catch it. But, had fun with this one. Good job.

Very cool game and concept, but I feel I can't rate it very high if the art and sound assets were developed by someone else!

Wait, which one is the original game? this one or the one created by teamawesome??

There is no "original" game. Both games were developed alongside each other - literally - we all sat in the same room! I split from the team early on as they decided to use libraries I had no chance of learning in time (I hadn't used pygame before, let alone the custom, undocumented OpenGL wrapper and Box2D physics lib), so we shared assets and produced two games, rather than me holding the others back.

You've mastered the physics of this game perfectly! May the odds be ever in your favor!

I like how big the levels are and the programmer art looks very charming.

Just to be clear, us lot over at teamawesome don't really agree with ComaToes' narrative. It rather feels more like he took our ideas and assets (well eskoala's) and made his own game. It really spoiled it for the rest of us who took part in good faith.

The gravity and boost-mechanics are really cool.
I ran into the same problem as "OnlySlightly", which made the game impossible to complete,
but I still had a lot of fun playing it.
