Death From Above (itch)

A literal 'top down' bullet hell shooter, my first game made with Livecode. Logged about 53 hours making it, wanted to see what I could create in 2 days or so.

Was only able to test it on mac, should work on windows as well though.

Used live code 6.5 versus 7 as I noticed it lagged a lot less, might have just been how I programmed it, not sure.

The code is pretty messy, at first I kept it pretty organized, but as time was ticking, I let it get really sloppy. If any one has any questions about the code, just message me and I'll be more than happy to explain it :)

Adjusting the difficulty simply changes the game speed, easier being slower, and harder being faster (the game look nicer when it's faster)

"WASD to move, Space to use shield (last about 3 seconds, only absorbs bullets, running into enemies still does damage.) Collect coins and diamonds for points. Collect the teal Diamond to win. Ships reset after all 3 have been destroyed.

Energy = Times Shield can be used

Health = Times Player can be hit before dying

Firerate = How quickly Player fires bullets

-- Can you beat the game on Hardest?-- "

Enjoy! :D

(play the music for extra epicness!)

P.S. — only had time for 1 level, so level 2 doesn't actually unlock aha
