Paragraph
At first, I was planning a 2D shooting game similar to Asteroids, but the theme of it is full of neon colors, and enemies spawning at the top and the end of the game is fighting the boss. And another idea came to mind was a 2 player game. Player 1 using w,a,s,d,x for controls, player 2 using left, right, up, down for controls. And behind them are 2 planets, earth, an alien planet. Both have to protect the planet. Whoever shoots the planet first, wins, and I was thinking of putting barriers for players to use for their strategy. But, of course, that didn't happen because 2 players equal a lot of coding and I keep going back and forth to GameMaker 1.4 to GameMaker Studio 2... I realized I was wasting my time going back and forth, so I just made a game that fits my level. A 2D game that inspires from a game called Shooty Skies (available on PC and mobile) and from another mobile game called Balls Bounce and Pong.
The game isn't exactly similar to the games I've mentioned. I've only taken the idea of when the player press the space bar it shoots balls and it bounces off the blue walls and if it goes through a gap it destroys itself. How I wanted the game to look like is galaxy theme with and then there are borders around so the ball can bounce off. In the middle, you have to hit it in order to move on to the next level. Each level will have obstacles and if you touch the obstacle it's Game Over. I wanted to add that in but I was having a struggle setting it in the middle. Even if I did follow some tutorials, it still wouldn't show. So instead of making it game over when the ball touches the obstacle, the ball is destroyed. And I've also made levels so it won't be only one room with the same obstacles, but with different difficulty.
Marks
I want this game to be marked in the following category:
Level Design
Coding
Platform
Music & Effects
