Silent Syphon

Overview

You are piloting a ship flying through enemy territory and your capacitors can no longer store energy. You must survive as long as you can to have any hope of escape.

To keep your ship running for longer, siphon energy from enemy ships, but be aware that movement and firing your weapon will cause energy to deplete faster!

Written With Mesche

The interesting thing about this game is that I wrote it with my own programming language Mesche, a Scheme-derived language written in C. I started writing the language in late February so I'm pretty happy with how well it worked for this game!

I also used my own rendering and game engine library called Substratic Engine which I've been working on since January.
