Stardust (GBJam9)

Stardust

A game made in 11 days with GB Studio for GBJam 9 - playable in browser or on your favourite handheld (or on another handheld with an emulator)!

In the distant future, humanity has squandered the Earth's resources. A lone pilot is hauling a valuable cargo to a new home in the galaxy when disaster strikes...

The game is effectively a demo of a potentially larger game - I guess the question is whether this should be turned into a final game?

Features:

1. Fight evil aliens!
2. Collect power crystals (there are 5 to be found in the game)!
3. Interact with computers!
4. Smash barrels!
5. Reboot the hyperdrive!
6. SAVE THE KNOWN UNIVERSE!!!

Issues:

I am aware of a couple of bugs/issues that I haven't been able to resolve as part of the jam - I need to dig a bit deeper into GB Studio to sort these out - something for post-jam!

1. Accessing the menu will respawn enemies when closed - I advise not using the menu in screens where there are enemies!
2. Collisions are slightly off - if you are directly to the right of an enemy you can get hit.
