the shitty shooter by Peterr
How come
My first entry and my first kinda finished game in a long time. Basically, just a shitty shooter. Enemies don't despawn when killed, so you're running out of space! Please enjoy and thank you for letting me waste your time.
Play in the browser
Play the shitty shooter directly in your browser thank's to the absolutely not shitty itch.io
Thank you for playing. Please leave a rating.
How to play
Move your ship with WASD. Use the mouse to shoot.
Interdimensional eggs will spawn aliens. These eggs are interdimensional and cannot be messed with.
Don't let them get you. They will lay interdimensional eggs after some time.
I did this
I created all the pixels, all the sounds and all the code. Things I used:
- Phaser
- Javascript
- bfxr for the sounds
- Pixen for the pixelmess
- Webstorm for coding
- webpack and yarn and such for packing and building and things
- Affinity Designer for the shitty cover image
What went well
I did finish and submit my first game to a game jam. I actually finished this thing. It has a start, a playable part and an end. Usually I loose interest and chicken out, when I have my basic interactions going. The "art" is pretty shitty, but I don't hate it.
What went not so well
I decided to participate half an hour before ludum dare startet. I had other stuff to do this weekend. And even when I had time to work on the project, it was quite hard to remain focused during the day.
I startet playing with rytimik studio for some music, but I hated what I came up with. So there's no music. A happy little accident.
