Tags for Game a Week - Week 1
Description
I'm attempting to make a new game every single week. They may lack polish, but they're good for exploring game ideas and getting better at game development.
This is Week One. It's my take on a shmup, in which you must juggle maintaining your shields with attacking the enemy.
How to Play
Move with the mouse.
Left mouse button - shoot
Right mouse button - absorb enemy shots

Hey man!
As a fresh developer (thinking about starting the one game a month challenge :P), seeing this done in a week is pretty impressive!
Nice concept, really cool style (with that kind of a short deadline and without an artist, we have to do with simplicity, but the result is sometimes really really cool, and that's the case here)
btw. what did you code this in?
All in all, great job, looking forward to the future ones ;)
I used Unity to make the game, coding in C#. The ship models were made in Maya, which I can sorta kinda myself around in once in a while. I highly encourage you to take up the game a month challenge. I'm almost done with my second week of this game a week thing, and I can already feel myself learning and asking tougher questions about game design. Edit: Totally forgot to mention, I've started releasing the source to these. You can find the source to this game here: https://github.com/mitDebo/GameAWeek-Week01

Dude. That's pretty good! you could really take this places. Upgrades. A pause button :) I look forward to your game a week!
Hey, thanks! I really wish I had more time to work on it than just a week, cause I agree and this could have gone places. Glad you enjoyed it!
