Throw bombs across the field to score points, and don't blow yourself up!</p> <p>Play with a friend in versus mode, or sharpen your skills against the AI in solo mode.</p> <h1>How to play</h1> <p>Score points by picking bombs up and throwing them into your opponent's half-court.

This is Space Basher, a game about clearing space debris using a tool that has way too much recoil.</p> <h2>How to play</h2> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/69071/bash.gif" alt="" /> <p>Move around using the D-pad and grab a debris by holding X. While grabbing, you can adjust the angle of your slice with Left and Right. Releasing X slices the debris in two, and sends you flying in the opposite direction.</p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/69071/without_shield.gif" alt="" /> <p>Slicing depletes your ship's battery, leaving it unresponsive and without a shield. Hitting a debris without your shield up damages your ship. Three hits without a shield will destroy your ship.<br /> <em>Moving or grabbing a debris for too long will also deplete your ship's energy</em></p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/69071/recharge.gif" alt="" /> <p>You can replenish your energy by hitting one of the beams on the sides of the field, or by waiting for it to recharge.</p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/69071/explaination.png" alt="" /> <p>Some debris have a special effect depending on their color. There is an option in the pause menu to add a label on the colored debris.</p> <h2>About the game</h2> <p>This is my first <em>actual</em> PICO-8 game that isn't a prototype/learning exercise, which ended up being a weird mix of Asteroid, pool and the &quot;bash&quot; move from the Ori games. I use the collision code from <a href="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3467">NuSan's ComboPool</a> which I modified to take into account the size and mass of the entities.</p> <p>Hope you like it, thank you for your feedback!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140312 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140312 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 17:06:47 UTC
