Destroy enemies spaceships as you pilot through the skies in StarWind!

This game is a prototype,  built from a school project a few years ago. There are five levels complete, and you advance to the next level by beating the specified number of baddies.

Controls

  • WASD - Move
  • Left Mouse Click - Fire
  • Right Mouse Click - Activate Special (with full energy)
  • Press 'R' when dead to restart the level

UI

Ships

There are currently two ships available, the SHIVA and the ODIN. The hope was to add more. 

  • SHIVA - Basic ship, mostly all rounded with a slight edge to attacking. The Special ability will set your ship's cannon to rapid fire mode.
  • ODIN - A defensive wall. The Special ability will dramatically increase your shield regeneration.

PowerUps

There are three powerups to help you get through the game. They have a chance to spawn in place of an enemy.

  •   - Restores health
  •   - Restores shield
  •   - Restores energy

This game is incredibly broken and not very balanced, but was fun to make in the short amount of time I had to make it. I also am not 100% sure if it's beatable with the ODIN ship, but you're more than welcome to try! As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.
