Nebula Navigator

Introduction

Nebula Navigator is my first game development assignment, created to solidify my understanding of core game mechanics - movement and shooting with basic structuring in Unity. This is a game of cooperation between players in a 2D space platformer wherein two players must fly, dodge, and shoot their way through tight corridors filled with obstacles.

Gameplay and Features

• Co-op gameplay: Two players work together to clear obstacles and progress.
• Flight-based movement: Navigate tight spaces using WASD/Arrow keys.
• Shooting mechanic: Destroy obstacles with precise projectile shots using Space/K key.
• Power-ups:
  • Speed Boost: Temporarily increases movement speed.
  • Slow Boost: Temporarily slows movement for better control.
  • Multi-Shot: Enables multiple projectiles for a short duration.
• Physics-based interactions: Players bouncing off each other present a challenging scenario, especially in close areas. • Game loop: Players progress through levels until both players are eliminated; this restarts the process.

This was my first game ever, so it lacks a lot of features that any standard game would have, but regardless I hold it dear! Good luck and have fun playing! ^^
