core9000 was visually inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 2001 - Space Odyssey. The minimalistic design of the movie was carried over to the game by just using circles and two colors for the game elements.
In the game, two players have to defend their cores by turning their shields into the right direction. Thereby they not only have to watch enemy attacks, but also their own projectiles.
The game is played with Keyboard only: Red Player - WASD Blue Player - Arrow Keys
It's kinda hard to keep an eye on all the shields at the same time - that means both players are left with only one (usually the largest) shield in a very short time. Anyway, nice concept.
Yep that is cool. nice sounds... super minimalistic 2 player game... i had to play it aigainst myself, and I lost the battle :) Looks great, feels like a near finished and polished product. Nice...
Very polished game with a great minimal visual style. I especially like the effect when a player is hit. It was interesting reading through your brainstorming notes as well and seeing your thought process for this game. Nice job!
