Typhoon Force: Storm Fighter
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This a demo of the first game I've ever made! Feedback is very welcome :) It is now open source so feel free to have a look at the code!
Here's what's new in version 0.0.5 (17th February 2021)
- new member in the team! please welcome Reezer who will join to help with programming
- added a second level
- added a boss placeholder at the end of level 1 and 2
- added a healthbar for the boss
- HUD improvements
- added message box system (not yet used)
- added an inter-level screen that displays the score until now
- added an end-game screen that displays the final score once the game has been beaten
- the max score is now about 30'000 points
Typhoon Force: Storm Fighter is a shoot'em up where you pilot a spaceship and navigate your way through the end of the game by fighting swarms of enemies.
So far the game only features 4 enemies and has two short levels as it is mostly a demo (the maximum score is 30900 for about a minute of gameplay), so that I can get some feedback, but development is active so if you come back next week (or even tomorrow) there will likely be more content. The goal is to make a game with 3 levels that have a lifespan each of about 5 minutes, for a total of 15 minutes. The final game will be released for free.
The keyboard controls are included in the splash screen, but you can also use a Gamepad:
Keyboard / Gamepad (XBox button names)
- Start the game / Pause : Space / Start
- Move : Arrow keys / D-Pad
- Fire : X / A
- Move slowly : Hold Left shift / LB
- Toggle debug overlay : F12 / [only on keyboard]
- Reset game in debug : R / [only on keyboard]
