Top-Down Shooter Prototype

This is a 2D Top-Down Shooter inspired by Space Invaders and Galaga.  The goal was to move the ship, shoot enemies, and survive as long as possible while increasing the score.  This is Prototype #3 in the CSGD mini degree prototype series.

What I Learned

During this mini project, I practiced to,

• Create top-down movement controls
• Implement bullet shooting systems
• Use object pooling or simple spawners
• Handle enemy spawning and movement
• Manage collisions and destruction
• Build a score + game over system

Core Features

• Player ship movement (left/right)
• Shooting bullets upward
• Enemy spawner (waves or random)
• Score increase on kill
• Game Over when enemy hits player
• Restart system

Built With

• Unity (2D)
• C# Scripting

Part of a Prototype Series

This game is one of the weekly prototypes developed in the Game Development Mini Degree at Ceylon School of Game Design (CSGD).

Each prototype focuses on a single core mechanic to build real development skills, one step at a time.

How to Play

• Press space to shoot out bullets
• Aim and shoot at enemies to increase score   
• If you fail to hit an enemy the game will be over
