Thrusterpunch (WIP)
-
@Hamed I actually just have an object (that takes up the whole screen) with a hole cut out of it following the player. I set the object’s color to match an existing color in the scene’s background and... that’s pretty much it lol. Nothing too fancy. Masks would be awesome, though!

Very inspiring. Im going to make a short post on how my game is turning out as well. I love seeing what can be done with hyperpad.

Hello, everyone! Since maybe February, I’ve been working pretty hard on a new game. I have a thing for roguelikes/roguelites and I’ve been wanting to make one - start to finish - for quite a long time now.
I love Nuclear Throne and Void Bastards so I decided to try and make a combination of the two games. So without further ado, I present Thrusterpunch.
Thrusterpunch is a space-shmup bullet hell with roguelike elements and bosses you can “charm”. With simple two-button controls, destroy your enemies by firing projectiles from your thruster with roughly 20 different weapon types from rapid-firing bulletstorms to deployable proximity mines and even just... straight up boomerangs.
With four different worlds planned (each with their own roster of enemies), random world generation, nine different planned bosses to fight, 30+ upgrades, and 20+ level modifiers, I’m aiming to make this game as replayable as possible.
Current progress:
-Player movement refined and polished
-World generation fully functional
-Destructible environment
-Health and Oxygen pickups
-(3) Different enemies
-(2) Environmental hazard types
-(18) Different weapons
-(2) worlds playablehttps://s8.gifyu.com/images/66DAFBA4-4594-467E-B261-337CE18B5AC2.gif

I haven’t worked on this project much due to some bugs and also the intimidating obligation of reworking some major mechanics to optimize the game (like world generation). But I thought I’d share a gif demonstrating a few things like:
-Running out of oxygen slowly causes damage
-Collecting 50 gems permanently increases your health
-There’s an exit portal (and it works)
-Hovering over an exit portal prompts a loading bar to appear around it, demonstrating your progress towards successfully using it (this same mechanic goes for collecting health, oxygen, and weapons to put more pressure on the player in stressful situations)
