Laser Jetman is a short arcade shooter inspired by Defender by Williams Electronics (1981). It is written in Python and uses the Pyxel game engine.
You can play the game on itch.io here.
- Inside the "src" directory, run "python main.py"
- WASD keys, Arrow keys, or gamepad D-pad to move.
- Left & Right to move and Up to use Jetpack.
- J key or gamepad Button 1 to fire laser.
- K key or gamepad Button 2 to exit in pause menu.
- Return key or gamepad button Start to pause.
- ESC key to exit.
In this project I aimed to use no external assets. The sprites and sounds are created at run-time using Pyxel functions to import strings of data.
The terrain is generated using Perlin noise and most other effects use a particle emitter.
