So, I made this little game during my casual game module for my game design course, it's just a simple side-view shooter where you're an archer that needs to shoot down hordes of wyverns, some dracoknights while trying to avoid any Goddess Dragons while trying to get the highest score possible. Aside from becoming part of the leaderboard, if your hi-score is...high enough, you can unlock up to six new backgrounds so you're not stuck in the same village forever. The control instructions are ingame.
Aside from that there's three powerups you can get from time to time, most of them can be obtained either by letting them bump at you or shooting them, doing the latter adding 50 points to your score, these powerups are:
- Double Attack (Uses Discipline skill icon): This one allows you to fire your arrows twice as fast for 6 seconds.
- Knight Crest: Although your character is an archer, he can promote to a General with this Knight Crest. During this time, the player cannot be killed and enemies will die upon colliding with them, granting them half the points they would upon death. After 10 seconds, you'll revert back to an archer.
- Ballista: Evokes three rains of large arrows across the entire battlefield, can only be activated if the player shoots it with an arrow.
As for the enemies, there's three types:
- Dracoknight: Throws hand axes at you, however, firing the axe with an arrow will deflect both. Grants 30 points per kill, or 40 if hit by a deflected hand axe.
- The Wyvern: A normal wyvern with no special features. Grants 10 points per kill, or 15 if hit by a deflected hand axe.
- Goddess Dragon: The fastest of all, also invincible, forcing the player to switch places. If hit by the dragon, the player will lose 2 health, unlike all other foes and hand axes, who only subtract one from your health pool of 5.
I just hope you guys have fun with it. Oh, by the way, if you wanna submit your score? Just click the orange icon close to the "HI SCORE" in the main menu screen.
