A downloadable game

This is a new game that I've been making, It's also probably the first thing that I could actually call a game - It's almost like an asteroids clone, but you're fixed in the center and have to shoot at endless ships until you get blown up. It's still a WIP, but as of now I'm actually really happy with it. Might be able to release it for real at some point. Features that I want to work on include an upgrade system(Extra health, shields, ect), and a better game over screen, and also more, stronger enemies. I would like to implement a wave feature but that'll have to be further down the line.

Either way, the main game loop is done at the moment - This is originally what I had in mind when starting this project, so here it is - Enjoy! 

Controls are simple, just point and click where you want to shoot - The ship will always turn to face the mouse. Windows only for now.


Update - Final release

Well, here it is - The game is finished, and available to download in its entirety. Updates include the aforemention upgrades system, which is also visual, as your sprite changes as you level up - and an extra enemy spawns when you reach a certain level, and the little ships spawn faster - This is to make the game more challenging.

I didn't go ahead with the powerup system, I felt as though the game would be too easy if I did. The now second biggest ship still gives you shield when you destroy them.

Also releasing on Android soon, but they're still reviewing one of my earlier versions.
