v1.1.0 - Endless Update (itch.io Release!)


After completing the prototype for the game as part of an online course, i then extended it to create what i considered to be a full game and released to mobile stores. 

Since then, i've had a change of direction and will no longer be supporting mobile devices moving forward, instead sharing my content here on itch.io! 

Along with tweaks to make the game suit playing in the browser, i've also done a complete update for the game (v1.1.0)  the  changes are as follows:

  • The game has been modified to be 'endless'. The player can now continue to play for as long as they can, improving upon their score. Levels will repeat with improved difficulty on each iteration
  • Levels have been made shorter to result in quicker progression through stages
  • A pause menu has been added, allowing for pausing during gameplay and providing the option to return to the main menu
  • The player now has 'lives', meaning that running out of health does not instantly end the game. Additional lives can be acquired every 50,000 points the player earns, up to a maximum of 5 lives at any one point in time
  • The number that represents health has been replaced with a health bar to better convey information to the player. Health now only regenerates each time the final boss is defeated.
  • A 'kill tracker' has been added, which shows the number of each type of enemies destroyed at the end of a playthrough
  • A sound option has been added to menus, to allow for the sound to be toggled off/on
  • Controls have been modified/updated, allowing players to use either left click or spacebar to shoot
  • Fixed a bug that caused music to restart when transitioning between menus
