So after two days of frustration and restarts, I’ve managed to get something together that resembles a game. I used HaxeFlixel and OpenFL to create a retro-style bombing game called Birth:

I didn’t have time to add any sound, and there were quite a few things that I wanted to add to the gameplay (eg. flying enemies, land masses on the planets and some animation), but at least it’s playable! It’s been a good learning experience and I may well continue working on the game to release on Android and Windows at some point.

I really need sleep now…
