Take control of your cargo ship and deliver the goods to space stations! Be aware, though, as pirates will try to take your precious cargo! The more cargo you have, the more pirates will want to steal it! Upgrade your weapons to defend yourself. Its dangerous in space, but you got a job to do!
Controls :
W A S D : Movement
Left click OR Ctrl : Fire Weapon
How to Play :
Go to the Space station at the start, and load up on however much cargo you think you can take. I recommend only a small amount (below 19) as your weapons start out weak.
Below the button to load your ship, it tells you which number station you need to take the cargo to. Just follow the arrow at the bottom of the screen and it will take you to the station you need to deliver to.
Survive the pirates who try to take the cargo! Shoot them and take as little Hull damage as possible. They are faster than you, so you can't run from them!
Once you get to the station, unload the cargo to receive your pay! Use this money to repair your hull and get better weapons!
Known Bugs :
-Sometimes the stations will tell you to deliver at station 1, even though you must deliver to station 0. Just follow the arrow and you will be fine.
-Sometimes it tells you to deliver to the station you are currently at. Free money I guess!
Post Mortem :
This game turned out much better than I expected. Every other game I made for ludum dare had one or two assets that I did not make. This time, I made absolutely everything. That is a big accomplishment right there! Anyway, my goal for this game was to make it as polished as possible. I believe I accomplished this goal, except for two avenues. 1. I should have spent time on a tutorial. All I have now is a how to menu with a screenshot of the game. 2. I should have spent a lot more time on balancing the game. I spent almost no time actually PLAYING the game. I should have, because right now some parts are way to easy, and other parts are impossible.
The Pros: I believe the graphics are pretty good considering I have very little artistic talent. I like the art style I ended up with. I also like the idea behind the weapons. As you upgrade certain aspects, it actually changes the type of gun. I only wished I could have elaborated on that in the game more.
Overall, I had fun, and it is a good game in my opinion! (Once I balance it)
Software Used :
Unity = Game Engine
Paint.net = Artwork
FamiTracker = Music
Thanks for Playing!
