ASTRAL MAYHEM

THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT GAME DEVELOPMENT.PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK.THANK YOU.

 ASTRAL MAYHEM is a fast paced 2D side scroller action game inspired by old school arcade style space shooters with retro pixel art design. The player pilots a spaceship through various worlds whileavoiding projectiles and other menacing spacecrafts with each level/world culminating in aboss battle that tests the players skills acquired along the way. Perseverance is the key facet of the game asdying means the player respawns at the very  beginning of the level. Although the main focus of the game is to  circumvent obstacles, there are various power ups that can be obtained           throughout each level that adds effective tools to the spaceship that the player has to use carefully as they are limited. These powerups provide  utilitarian applications to the player. As these power ups are scarce using  them requires a layer of strategy to it. 
 The gameplay elements in ASTRALMAYHEM have aneasy to pick up but  hard to master approach that is fun and exciting, invoking a sense of nostalgia for classic game design.
