New Game: Yufo and Comette
Hi everyone!
A couple weeks ago, I was feeling dejected, as I was unable to bring myself to finish any games that I made. None of them ever really made it that far off the ground. So, I made a promise to myself that I would make a game, finish it, and do so quickly. As it turned out, the Opera GX Game Jam was running during that time, so I signed up to hold myself accountable.
Fast forward two weeks later, and I had finished my entry: Yufo and Comette. The game is similar to Breakout, except the roles are reversed (the ball now protects the bat), and it's more like an endless shoot-em-up, as opposed to the one-screen game that is Breakout. Unfortunately, the submission for the jam had a few bugs that I didn't have time to fix. Since then, I've fixed the bugs and uploaded the fixed game here.
The game is fun so far, but there were many things I would've added/adjusted if I had time. Because of this, I will continue working on Yufo and Comette until the game is as polished as I hoped, if not more.
Here are some of the additions/changes I'm planning to make in the coming weeks:
- Add a proper menu with places for options and viewing highscores
- Add more enemy variety, including a second cannon type
- Give the game a 9:16 aspect ratio and touch controls for mobile users
- Add an intro cutscene
- Add various visual effects such as cannon fire, debris clearing animations, and a trail for Comette.
- Add a pause button
- Improve sound effects so they are less repetitive
- Add an audio cue for the missile's tracking animation
I may potentially add bosses to the game, individual stages, an ending, and upgrades you can choose from in between stages (think Downwell)
Also, a friend of mine is making some music for the game!
Anyways, that's all I have about the game for now.
