Comet Express

As ace pilots in the far reaches of space, you and a wingmate have been hired to protect a cargo ship, the Comet Express, as it sails the cosmos. During your journey, however, your client has been caught in a trap, surrounded by warp gates ready to bombard the cargo ship with powerful missiles! Your task is to destroy these gates - and, more importantly, missiles - before they have the chance to destroy the cargo ship!

Comet Express began as a Unity practice project in order to familiarize myself with the engine, and also began as an actual on-rails shooter level similar to classic Starfox levels. As I improved the code, I reworked the level into a simpler but arguably more replayable level more similar to Sector Z.

While the game is meant to be played co-operatively with another person, it can be played and completed solo by simply ignoring the other screen. Also note that the default controller setting for both players is Controller, but Player 2 can be set to use a Keyboard by pressing K while in-game. This is just a temporary measure until I reimplement the key bindings system from back when it was a single player game.

The game's asset list is composed almost entirely of royalty-free assets (most of which from OpenGameArt) with the exception of the spritework. I'll be uploading the list of assets/links soon.
