Asteroid proximity - Arcade side scroller space shooter.

Hello guys!

Today I come with a project that I am working on for the university.

-Asteroid proximity - Arcade side scroller space shooter-​

Description

It is a side-scroller space shooter arcade game (xD) where you should avoid and shoot up all the asteroids that will popup in the screen.

You will earn points if u destroy asteroids , random powerups will spawn, game will end if you hit one asteroid.

This is the basic idea, I want to add customization so you can build our own ship or spawn a random "track" that you should follow to win more points.

Media

I am actually working on the basics:
·Ship controller.
·Asteroid controller / spawner.
·Some basic esthetics and effects.

​

>Play!<
This is an early (seriously it is early) version of the game any tips are welcome


Update 11/23/2014

+Added movement on "Y" axis.
+Simple shoot system.
+Improved asteroids generation.

​

I will update the post as I work on it!
Special thanks to Hedgehog Team for the skybox and Omega Creative for the ship

 

Off to a great start!

 

Thanks for the comment!

 

Updated!

 

I tried it and I think that it's very hard aiming. I mean, when I move the ship to the sides of the screen (and its side is visible), I don't know where the shots go. Maybe you should add a red dot or a laser sight.

 

I am playing with camera types , and yes i thought on adding like a red dot to make aiming easier.

 

Here is a complete Space Shooter Game to give you some ideas. Play in the browser.
