Colour Shmup (Unity Version)

Github: King9999/ColourShmup: Unity version of Flash game I made (github.com)

CONTROLS

• Keyboard: WASD to move, directional keys to change ship colour, SPACE to shoot, ENTER to toggle audio, ESC to pause
• Gamepad: Left stick to move, face buttons to change colour, right trigger to shoot, Select to toggle audio, Start to pause

IMPORTANT: Due to a known bug in Unity 2020, the vertical axis may be reversed. In other words, up and down may not work as you'd expect. I've added a workaround until Unity comes up with a solution. I highly recommend using a gamepad.

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

This is a significantly improved version of my old Flash game of the same name, found here: Colour Shmup by Mike Murray (itch.io). The basic gameplay is the same; destroy enemies who are not your colour, and touch the ones who are the same colour to absorb their energy. Fill up your rainbow gauge to maximum, and unleash a beam to eliminate everything in your path!

Here's a list of changes from the original:

• Improved graphics thanks to the Pixel Spaceships asset pack (PIXEL SPACESHIPS (Shoot'em Ups Assets) [HD] by MedimonGames (itch.io))
• 100% more sound effects
• Enemies will now shoot at you. The frequency increases as you advance
• Enemy movement patterns added. More patterns unlock as you advance
• Gamepad support
• Added graphical effects
• All enemies on screen are destroyed after completing a level, to give the player a breather

Overall, I'm very happy with how the game turned out, but the game also reminded me again how much work goes into creating even super small games. I wasn't even starting from scratch and the game still ended up being a lot of work!
