In this project I set out to rip off asteroids using Game Maker 2!
The game features a controllable ship that can move on a 360 degree axis and shoot a laser.
The challenge of the game comes from the asteroids that spawn in on the alert symbols seen in the featured image. All asteroids float on a set path and can be destroyed by the ship’s laser for points. A red asteroid will occasionally spawn and chase the player following the closest path to them although they award extra points for destroying them. After a certain score has been reached the player is moved onto the next level of which there are currently none. When the player impacts an asteroid they are reset to the first room with 0 points.
The game also features menus and even a tutorial in beautiful Papyrus font!
Some things I’d like to add are:
- Extra levels and perhaps extra paths
- Different types of asteroids with different powers and effects
- More animations and visual effects in-game and in the U.I
- Different ship types with different powers
- A plot?
Get the game below!
