About the Game:

This is my very first game, inspired by Vanguard and River Raid! While it shares similar gameplay dynamics, there’s a unique twist: it’s a side-scrolling shooter where enemies come from the right, and the player holds their ground on the left, destroying everything in sight. Players can use power-ups to enhance their defense or firepower while racking up an infinite score by taking down enemies.

How to Play:

Controls

• WASD or Arrow Keys - Move your ship
• Left Mouse Button or Left CTRL - Fire

Objective Destroy as many alien ships as possible before being defeated and aim for a new high score!

Pickups:

• Firepower Upgrade - Triples the number of shots fired.
• Shield - Grants temporary invincibility.

Difficulty:

As time progresses, the game becomes more challenging, with enemy spawn intervals decreasing.
