Kirby's PVP Asteroid Attack

2-D asteroids, shooter, local PVP.(GDevelop 5, 2024)

This game is my spin on the classic Asteroids where I turned it into a PVP match between two kirbys. Sharing the keyboard, each player tries their best to dodge asteroids while using them as ammo to knockout their opponent. The last kirby standing is the winner.

What I did

Turned a basic asteroids prototype into my own unique take on the genre
Created Kirby sprite sheets, UI elements, tutorial screen, title screen and victory screens
Conducted two playtests and implemented changed based on feedback

What I learnt

How to use the in-built physics engine to create my desired 'low-gravity' effect
Problem solved to create kirby's suction effect to pull objects towards kirby then use them as ammo by experimenting with hitboxes and vectors
Implemented basic optimisation to reduce lag
