This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge, Build a Game: Alien Edition

Introduction

I am excited to share my submission for the web game challenge,Xylophia VI: an endless shooter game,
Here,You're a brave agent of CTMA,who is stranded in Xylophia VI,an isolated planet inhabited by malevolent polycerebroxes,you have to survive by fighting them,until help arrives.

What I Built

I have built an endless shooter game,where you're an agent of CTMA(cosmic threat management agency),you crash land on Xylophia VI,while going for an investigation in the planet,you have no other choices but to stay in the planet,until help arrives,but the planet is inhabited by hostile polycerebroxes,you have to fight them to survive on the planet as long as possible!

I Have Used Phaser 3 to simplify the development process,
Also it's my first time using it so it was a great learning experience also!

Game Play Mechanics & Features:

•Player Movement & Joystick Controls: I have used Phasers Built-in Graphics To create a Basic Joystick,By Which You Control The Player.

•Player Attacks: You can just tap the screen to shoot projectiles,you can kill polycerebroxes by them,after getting killed,each alien,respawns after sometime.

•Health Pack: You'll also get health packs which shows up randomly and increases your health,you can only use it when your health is less than 120.

•Enemy behaviour: i have implemented simple enemy AI,
The polycerebroxes chases you whenever you're close,also i have implemented,co operative attacks,where multiple enemies,works together to attack you!,the enemies gets destroyed once they complete there attack,once every minute,a large wave of enemies attack you including a boss enemy.

•Scoring & High Score System: Your score is determined by your kill count,and also highest kills are stored,I have used local storage to store high score data.

•player levels: I have implemented a very simple player level progression system,in which the player have to gain experience points by playing and levels are determined by exp points,
Difficulty increases with increasing level!.

Journey

I loved top down shooter games and I was just learning about Phaser when I got to know about the web game dev challenge,I first decided to create a top down shooter game,using my knowledge of phaser,i created the first game.js file and created the prototype for the game,and later with the help of tutorials and ai,and my own creativity i created the enemy AI and the other features as well!

I gathered assets from the internet and I've also used ai to generate the maps and background.
I got the sound effects from pixabay & sprites from open game art.

It was a great learning experience 😊
I've learnt a lot about game development & phaser!

I am also proud of the enemy AI & the joystick.
