Starfighter Mercs 2
My entry for Bullet Hell Jam 2023.
Theme : Limited, here i chose limited ammo
Making some tiny steps into using 3D so fingers crossed everything will run allright :p
External assets : Jams's logo for splash screen and title, Orbitron font from Google fonts.
Note : 3D models and textures as well as the 4 music tracks done prior to the jam.
all the rest, programming, level building, ui design, done solo during the jam's time.
Welcome to a new team of Merc pilots taking missions throughout the galaxy, this time you'll be able to choose between 4 ship types (gameplay variation), and 12 pilots (just visual preference). However do know that small merc teams have limited resources, so use your ammo from weapon capsules sparingly.

Classic vertical shmup, move around dodge projectiles, and shoot back at enemies.
Keyboard :
WASD to move and select in menus
Spacebar to shoot and confirm selection in menus
Controller:
Analog / D-pad to move and select in menus
A(X input layout controllers) to shoot and confirm selection in menus
Programs Used :

That's about it, hope you'll enjoy the game, have a good one :)

Cool game!!! The graphics great, giving the perfect vibe of 80'. The game is quite hard (at the second boss I relied mostly at extra lives, because it is quite complicated to dodge the bullets.
Thanks dude ^^ i’m glad you liked the 80’s vibe, i wasn’t sure how the small details would end up on low poly 3d models compared to sprites but it seemed to turn out ok (if a bit aliased i’ll admit ^^’)
Yeah i’m not the best at balancing difficulty specially on jam times, though funnily enough i tend to try and make my games more on the easy side so that more people can enjoy the full experience, here they ended up being a bit too tanky and the one experimental feature i tried might have shot up the difficulty a bit much, there’s a hidden mechanic with the bosses, when they go at half their health they double their attack speed :p
