Game Jam Entry: "Spaceshooter Thing"

Experimenting with a team-based gameplay in a top-down dual stick space shooter. Your goal is to destroy enemy ships and capture spawnpoints - though the capture logic didn't make it into the game for time reasons. Except for assets, the game was made in 8 hours.

Running it

This game requires a gamepad to be played, no other input methods are supported. It will always use your first gamepad, if you have multiple gamepads plugged in. Controls are:

  • Left thumbstick: Move
  • Right thumbstick: Aim
  • Right trigger: Fire
  • Start: Restart map
  • Back: End game

Your viewport will be bigger or smaller depending on your screen resolution - a bigger screen is an advantage, but not a requirement.

The Dev Way

  • Clone or download the repository.
  • Run DualityEditor.exe, let it grab some binaries it needs.
  • Close it and run DualityLauncher.exe
