I Don’t Even Know How To Make Games

This should be good. First attempt at anything. But I might have some ideas? I’m not even sure yet but I made this, so that’s a start.

I’m thinking some kind of basic space shooter with 8 (might be a bit too many) slots for available lasers with upgrade capabilities or something. Sort of making this up as I go, so should be interesting to say the least.

Don’t forget you can’t use the arrow keys to move.

So I Vaguely Know How To Make Games

Here’s a screenshot of how the game will work in general. Two players, (I could do playing against a CPU for 1 player but being a huge NOOBhole limits my time immensely) they shoot at each other. Each has an amount of health and a powerup level. Both will be shown over each player’s side (when I get around to it). Only the player whose lasers match the color of the powerup can pick it up, and the other can shoot it to kill it before the owner can grab it. I haven’t figured out just how the powerup level matters yet, whether it’ll increase your main laser somehow per level or just add to unlocking a massive one-time use attack against the other player, like a HUGE laser or a wide spread or something. Anyway, check it out, suggestions are very welcome.

Wow, I Made A Video Game

It’s pretty basic and I didn’t get to half the stuff I wanted to, but here’s the two player versus space shooter, PEWPEW.

Controls:

Player 1 –
1: move down
2: move up
3: shoot

Player 2 –
0: move down
9: move up
8: shoot

Congrats on submitting a game! Don’t have anyone handy this moment to try with two players though. I like the super fast star field and the humor in the graphics and name. Thanks for participating!
