Description:
Oh my, a shooter with blocks! is a shooter where the ships are constructed from basic building blocks. Each block has its own function, they come in four flavors:
-CORE (circle icon) only one per ship. if the block is destroyed the whole ship is destroyed.
-SHOOTER (triangle icon) shoots projectiles.
-ENGINE (square icon) increase the speed of the ship.
-NORMAL gives no abilities beside protecting other blocks.
The enemies are procedurally generated and evolve using a genetic algorithm. The goal is to beat has much generation as possible. After beating a generation the player is rewarded a new block to upgrade his ship.
Controls:
WASD to move
aim with mouse to shoot
Known bugs:
-If could happen that an enemy pop out of the game zone. In such case the level can't be completed. No way out of this except reloading the game and starting over. Sorry.
-Game load for a long time and nothing appears (reported by eyehawk). Most likely due to a Java version problem.
-Sometime ship tries to constantly go in one direction (reported by hgcummings).
