Starfighter Mercforce

My entry for Bullet Hell jam in 2021

Quick description :

Join the Starfighter mercforce and help defend the system against space pirates !

Controls :

Controller Dpad to move

Keyboard WASD (ZQSD for necesary regions should work) to move

Controller A to shoot

Keyboard Spacebar to shoot

Gameplay :

This is my first time making a shmup type game, so i couldn't really find interesting ways to implement the 10 seconds optional theme, so i tried to go for classic done as best i could.

You spawn in a random of 3 types of ships (with random color variants and pilots )

You shoot enemies, there's a powerup that adds modules on the side of your ship to cover more of the screen when you shoot

Ennemies give you points, and drop an additional score item for more points if collected, the goal here is simply to reach the end and acheive the highest score possible, couldn't make a good lives system in time so you have unlimited lives but each death cuts your total score in half.

Each ship type has different movement speeds, hull strength and shield strength

one of the 3 has turreted modules so you can orient your shots with the powerup
