Captain's Dilemma

You’re a spaceship captain who has to choose the best itinerary to go home…but at what cost?

This old-school shoot’em up was made for the Ludum Dare 43 and it is my first solo game. The idea was to sacrifice assets (sounds, sprites, UI…) while shooting at ennemies, making the game more and more difficult. I used sprites made by Master484 (they are in the public domain).

Controls : Arrow keys to move, Spacebar to shoot

Note: shooting consumes energy.

The game should be played in fullscreen (otherwise you won't see everything).

Known bugs : some explosions won’t disappear.

I used Unity, Visual Studio, Photoshop CC 2018 and Audacity.
