Horizon Glide
Battle through infinite isometric worlds in this arcade hover-ship shooter!
About
Horizon Glide is an infinite isometric arcade shooter where you pilot a hovering ship through endless procedurally generated landscapes. Navigate dynamic terrain, manage your ammo, and survive against enemy forces in this unique blend of exploration and combat.
Features
- Procedurally generated infinite worlds - Every playthrough is unique
- Isometric 3D perspective - Classic arcade viewpoint built entirely in PICO-8
- Dynamic terrain generation - From water levels to mountain peaks
- Combat system - Battle enemy ships while managing limited ammo
- Customizable world settings - Adjust terrain scale and water levels to your liking
Controls
- Arrow Keys - Move your ship
- X - Shoot
- Your ship automatically hovers above the terrain and jumps if elevation changes
Technical Details
I particularly enjoy pushing PICO-8 to its limits with:
- Real-time Perlin noise terrain generation
- Tile-based world streaming for infinite worlds
- Custom isometric rendering system
- Particle and Water effects
- Enemy AI with multiple behavior patterns
Development Status
Version 0.14 (Beta) - The game is fully playable! I have about 100 tokens left so I might add gameplay mechanics in a future update.
