New Game: AXOL

Today I released my second entry for the $1000 Galactic Game Challenge which ends on 1st August.

It is another space shooter entitled AXOL. I drew all the graphics myself and recorded the sound effects. The music came from a free source online.

In this game the enemy aliens come in four colours. Your ship is in the centre of the screen and fires bullets at the aliens when you press space, and rotates on the spot when you press the left and right keys. When your bullet hits an enemy the same colour as your ship it dies and you gain 100 points. When your bullet hits an enemy of a different colour your ship changes to that colour but you gain no points. It is quite challenging.

I may have to adjust the ship's rotation to make it a little easier to aim.

Play AXOL!
