Introducing Shootr

Me and my brother are creating a new game with the project name Shootr (to be changed later).

Shootr is based on Alientris which was our entry to Assembly 2022 Game Jam. The game combines elements from a space shooter, platformer and a puzzle game. We stumbled upon this combination semi-accidentally and found it interesting, so we decided to continue exploring it after the game jam.

In Shootr, you shoot down enemy spaceships whose wreckages pile up on a grid. You advance in the game by climbing up the ever growing pile of enemy wreckages, collecting power-ups on the way. Or something like that.

For now, we only have the most basic mechanics in place: shooting enemies and wreckages piling up.

The graphics are all boxes for now and we'll keep it that way for a while until we arrive at an interesting set of game mechanics and a satisfying game loop.
