Exercise 3

Create a retro-style space shooter or shmup with 3 waves or levels. It doesn’t need to be spaceships in space, specifically. You are encouraged to design something unique for the genre. Focus on player interactions. What happens when a projectile is fired, when an enemy is hit, when the player takes damage, when an item is collected? Use triggers and colliders, sound and visual effects. Consider simple UI in the form of a score, powerups, health or other indicators. Make your own player, enemy, item, and projectiles. Things like backgrounds, sound, and particles, can be free or fair use assets if they are given proper attribution on your itch page.

My game has a rocket ship that shoots red bullets at the little UFOs that come out. Player will gain points as more UFOs are shot. I also have a counter indicating how many enemies are left as well as which wave the player is currently in.
