Sky Scorcher
This game is created for the 2023 Aviator Arcade Game Jam.
Made with Unity Personal Edition 5.6.5.
This game is largely intended to recapture my own impressions of seeing Zaxxon in the arcade for the first time.
The gameplay is basically the same as the 1981 Sega arcade classic. Maneuver your aircraft through enemy fortifications, destroying as many objects as possible, whilst avoiding enemy rockets and projectiles.
Fuel supply is limited, which (like in the original Zaxxon) can only be replenished by destroying enemy fuel cannisters.
Controls:
Arrow Keys | movement |
Space Bar | fire |
All assets (comprising artwork, sprites, textures, meshes, sound effects, and music) are completely original, with the exception of the following sound files:
- "Machine Gun Bullet Ricochet On Concrete" - Series 6000 Library Extension 1
- "Cold Wind- Distant Subtle Howling" - Soundstorm Library
updates:
- I've added a functional download that works correctly this time, and furthermore enables to option to abort gameplay during the course of a level by pressing the 'ESC' key.
- Following one player's suggestion, I've incorporated a raycast marker (designated by red flashing crosshairs) denoting the player's current firing/flight path. These should ease the aiming and maneuvering process.
- fixed bug that enabled player to obtain altitudes beyond intended limitation.
