Core Guardian is an abstract shooter where you must defend a core and yourself from waves of enemies.
Use inertia and rebounds to stay alive and defend your objective.
Try to get as far as you can !
The game has been tested on multiples Windows computers. Good chance to work on Linux. Don't know from OS X, I don't have one but it should work.
EDIT : So after seeing some OpenGL problems with some computers, I changed some properties in the window creation code. I also fixed some broken features such as bullets going through the core or the player damage cooldown not working. Apparently it's okay to update the game for crash and bug fixes, there are no new features so I hope there will be no problem ...
EDIT2 : It seems my shader loading crash fix is not working so ... I don't know how to make it work ... I'm very sorry for those who won't be able to play it :(
For Windows : You can create a start.bat file with the following content : ---- java -jar CoreGuardian.jar ----
EDIT3 : Ok ... so it only works on Windows ... I'll try to fix this in future versions of the game ...
=== HUD === Top : Core and player shields and lifes Bottom : Wave counter
=== Controls === --- MAIN --- Mouse Left : Move Mouse Right : Shoot
--- OPTIONS --- Escape : Quit P : Pause F12 : Restart the game if you're stuck someway

Like I said during your stream, it's a good game. You make a real great job ! I will test it with my OSX, and I make u a feedback about.
Debian 8 user using Java 8. Got this error when I ran the extracted jar file:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/evan/Downloads/core/libs/native/liblwjgl32.so: libXrandr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Wow, that was pretty slick! Nice and polished, with an interesting mechanic. Controls took some getting used to, which I thought ultimately made it better, as it offered more of a challenge. Well done!
It is a good game. It would be better if it wasn't restricted by the two buttons. Using the mouse for both movement and shooting is somewhat frustrating.
Simple, but solid, fun and engaging. I really liked this entry and I hope you will keep working on it a bit. It was difficult, but just the right amount. The presentation could be even better, but as it stands right now, I found it appealing.
"compilation error for shader [res/screen.vs]. Reason: Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors: ERROR: 0:3: error(#133) Reserved word: in ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors. No code generated"
I will test it with my OSX, and I make u a feedback about.
