Overview

About this game

SkyDefender is my very first game. I created this project as a complete beginner with zero previous experience. I wanted to build something simple, fast, and fun. It is a tribute to the old arcade machines that we all remember.

Simple and Fun

This is not a long game. It is a short experience made for relaxation and quick fun. There are no complex menus or long tutorials. You just take control of a machine gun and shoot down enemy planes. It is all about your reflexes and your high score.

What you will find:

  • Classic Arcade Action: Pure shooting gameplay like the old coin-op games.

  • Level System: Complete the waves to unlock the next, more difficult level.

  • Focus on Performance: I worked hard to optimize the game so it runs smoothly. I hope it works well for you.

  • Solo Project: This is a learning project for me. I hope you enjoy it and please forgive any small issues or bugs you might find.

Thank you for checking out my first project.
