Overview
Falling Stars is an arcade shooter game I made to get my programming and game development muscles operational again. I have decided to publish it online in the middle of development because I used to make larger projects I didn't spend time updating/documenting and that led to a lot of intensive game development activity falling into obscurity.
Controls
Falling Stars involves a simple control scheme. You maneuver horizontally (arrow keys or WASD) at the bottom of the screen and make use of two weapons.
Your first weapon is a laser beam. I am likely to redo it as a raycast. You press Space to fire the laser.
Your second weapon is a missile launcher with limited ammunition. You press Z to fire the missile.
Misc.
As your score increases, Falling Stars will get more challenging and introduce new challenges to contend with such as UFOs or giant falling stars you will want to stock up missiles for. There is no end point to Falling Stars, only a game over screen that displays your final score.
More is likely to be added but I think Falling Stars as it exists now is playable. I may put it on the backburner to join a game jam instead or continue work on it depending on my mood.
