Space Game!
A downloadable game
Space game
You control a star fighter and must destroy all the enemies and objects in your way to achieve ultimate victory!
About the project
The game is a simple shooter for the C64 that I made in Turbo Rascal Syntax Error. The game entirely uses the high level language and was soley created just to see how far I could get 'winging it. This is my second game and it is far more ambitious than the first however it is still a skill I am working on.
Install
Game was built on NTSC but should run on PAL systems
To play open 'space game.prg' with VICE or an emulator of choice
If using actual hardware it has been tested on SD2IEC and Kung Fu Flash so it probably works on most methods to run programs.
Controls
Joystick in port 2 to move ship and fire

M key to toggle the music off/on

At first glance, the game seems cool 😉 It could be expanded a bit with more elaborate shooting sound effects like bonuses after smashing an asteroid, e.g. double shot or temporarily freezing the enemy by switching from one weapon to another (laser, rockets, etc.).
Yea maybe the next one, this ones simpler on purpose as I was figuring out stuff like entity control, how to use GOAT tracker, etc but I do have a few ideas floating around for the next game
In that case, I look forward to reading more of your ideas 😁
