I managed to finish and figure out how to publish this game right before the deadline. This is my first Game Jam submission that I am somewhat proud of, its a combination of two of my favorite genres and I think it worked out pretty well. I srcewed around for the first 12 hours or so but I think I really pulled it together in the end.
Shooting Stars
""""""Plot"""""" <- Sarcastic Air Quotes
A giant multicolored Meteor is hurtling towards the earth! The meteor is made of space materials virtually indestructible to man, luckily scientists have discovered that if 3 or more chunks of these materials are placed side by side they will disintegrate saving the earth! They created a gun that launches these chunks at eachother and have sent you out in a last ditch effort to melt the asteroid and save the earth!
Gameplay
Shoot the asteroid to make match 3's and decrease its mass. You are given a random color and then have to either change a cube of the asteroid to that color with left click or add a cube of that color to the asteroid with left click. If you match 3 or more in a column or row the cubes will disintegrate. You need to get the asteroid down to at least ten cubes
w and S - Move Back and forth in 3D space
A and D - Strafe
Space and Shift - go up and down
Escape - Quit
Left click- change color of brick
Right click - create brick of that color
Changelog:
I did a 2 fixes but nothing that adds features. I changed the restart function as it wasnt updating difficulty correctly, and in testing that I messed up the speed at which the earth moves towards the cube and had to change that value in the inspector.
Development Time: 36 hours (I started late :p)
