Work In Progress

This is my first flash game and still very much work in progress. Eventually it’ll have large scale capital ship battles and customisable ships and various different types of enemies and weapons.

Thanks for all the comments, I’ll try to improve the game with each update. Things To Do: scrolling play area – done item drops based on combo multiplier – done start screen buy/upgrades menu more enemies pause menu with mute button – done save function different difficultiesshow less Updates [16July2009] Added the pause menu and mute button/volume control [15July2009] Kong preloader added for cool points.

Added a new enemy, the mobile artillery unit, launches a devastating barrage of (three) plasma missiles from a distance. The missiles have a concussion effect and a medium sized blast radius. The unit itself is very slow and can be easily out manoeuvred and isn’t as well armoured as the heavy fighter. Another thing that saw implementation was the item drops, now whenever you kill an asteroid or large enemy there will be a chance that they will drop a power up that refills either health or shields or ammo and also that chance increases with the combo meter. A good tactic is to kite a bunch of enemies and wait till you reach level 2 or higher and then turn around and hit them with a missile. You should end up with a shower of items you can use to get more health and ammo. Did some balancing to make the game a bit easier. Will need to add different skill levels in the menu screen when that gets done. [14July2009] Tweaked some graphics and effects Added area effect to the missile so that it can deal heavy damage to groups of enemies. Also added the heavy fighter enemy which is a more sluggish foe but can take a beating and is armed with 3 cannons. [13July2009] Added some more effects and a new type of enemy which is a small, lightly armed fighter. They become quite deadly when attacking in groups and think nothing of doing suicide kamikaze runs.show less Instructions Arrow keys or wsad moves the ship. Space bar or keypad 0 shoots missiles. P pauses the game and shows the sound options. Mouse controls turret. Shields recharge after a period of not taking any damage. Keep the combo meter filled to earn more points.
