MMO 2D Competitive Space Action Clone of Cosmic Rift
I've created a clone of 'Cosmic Rift' called 'Astral Rift'. It is played in the browser and made with Javascript, NodeJS and JoyJS.
The codebase and the gameplay instructions are here https://github.com/esuen/AstralRift.
The game is playable here http://www.astralrift.com.
Please try it out and give me feedback.
- JesseAldridge 13y agoSome notes: Add stars to the background for orientation. Make the ships a lot easier to control. I escaped the arena by moving to the bottom-left corner and holding down. Make the bullets move faster. Add instructions; just "shift = mine; z = shoot; etc." I didn't understand the life system. I guess getting hit makes you lose energy, but so does shooting? I shot a guy a bunch of times but nothing seemed to happen. Maybe add more feedback when you hit somebody? Right now it's not very fun.
- esuen 13y agoI'll be adding stars in the background soon. Could you elaborate more on why the current controls are difficult? What could make it easier? Yes, there is a couple bugs with escaping the arena. I may make the bullets faster. Yeah, good point on adding instructions. The life system is this: you're energy is both depleted when you are hit or use a weapon. More special weapons and features added later will add to the enjoyment of this game.
- JesseAldridge 13y agoI think more friction would make the controls easier. Right now it feels like you're sliding on ice.
