Concept

A wave-based co-op space ship combat game created for the Alt Cntrl Game Jam. The players control a ship moving through an asteroid field with enemies spawning and attacking them.

The game used 2 player co-op:

• Player 1 controls ship movement and is responsible for recharging energy
• Player 2 controls the turret and is responsible for shooting and shielding against enemy projectiles

Different weaons like a shotgun, machine gun and laser can be used on the player as well as the enemies that spawn based on dificulty.

Tech

Shader graph was used for the shield and projectiles.

The controls were implemented on an arduino and later adapted to the keyboard and mouse.

Control was maintained through a series of knobs and buttons.

An LED matrix was used to display the thrust, orientation and current shield and health values.
