Mini Survival Space Quest

Wanna play a quick session of Vampire Survivors-ish gameplay, but in space?

This game was heavily... ahem... *inspired* by my friend Woum's game: Kitty's Last Adventure!

Quick overview

Usual play time: ~5-10 minutes.

In this game, you play a little astronaut fighting against waves of aliens, and collecting coins to upgrade her ship. Your mission is simple: you've got to last until the Alien Boss shows up, and then defeat it to win back this quadrant of the galaxy!

To do that: just move about randomly and let your ship auto-fire, that should work like a charm :)

• Move/Focus in UI: W/A/S/D or arrow keys (keyboard), left stick (gamepad)
• Select: Enter or Space (keyboard), A or Cross (gamepad)
• Pause: Escape (keyboard), Start (gamepad)

Project goals

Check out the video Devlog:

With Mini Survival Space Quest, my goal was to make a basic but full game in the genre in only 1 day (= 24 hours) - including brainstorming the overall vibe and settting, making the art, coding the gameplay and composing the music.

Additional features

After I finished the main prototype under this time constraint, I added a few things just to bring this mini-game a bit further:

• Extra weapon: the Wave!
• Cross-platform inputs (keyboard + mouse, gamepads)
• Localisation: English, French
• Basic player settings (language, sounds & music volume) which are saved from one session to another
