Good Luck Cadet is basically an Asteroids clone, but incredibly difficult. I made it intentionally hard by having ridiculous asteroid spawns, no player protection system (i.e. if something spawns next to you and hits you, too bad), and really difficult controls (you won't think so until you realize that you can't force your player to stop, and the turn system is based on your movement speed, not just changing the image angle).
To counter the difficulty I did however throw in three spawning pickups.
You have a 1-10 chance of having an extra life drop after destroying a small asteroid.
You have a 1-20 chance of having a 4-way shot drop after destroying a small asteroid.
You have a 1-30 chance of having an 8-way shot drop after destroying a small asteroid, and your score is over 100,000.
There are 3 Asteroids, and they go as follows:
Large Asteroid - breaks into 2 Medium Asteroids - break into 3 Small Asteroids
There is an online leaderboard system.
You can see the highscores here!
Here are some screenshots of the game!
WARNING: The audio levels are ridiculously high in this game! Turn your volume down to like 10. If you think I'm joking, have fun bleeding from the ears.
Some hints for playing the game:
Take things slow at the beginning. Get as many extra lives as you can, because by about the 4th asteroid spawn, it get's insane.
If you see a quad shot pickup, risk your life for it. The quad shot makes you nearly unstoppable until the spawns get crazy.
Don't stop moving. If you stop early on with the quad shot, everything will seem like it's going okay. But as soon as the spawn count goes up, you'll regret it.
With all that being said, here's the link to download it! (it's a single .exe at 13.24MB, also might move to GameJolt at some point)
Download Good Luck Cadet
The controls are fairly simple:
WASD to move
SHIFT to boost
SPACE to shoot
Enjoy this simple little flashback arcade game! See you on the leaderboards!
