Rail Shooter Prototype

(WARNING: This prototype requires a controller. An XB1 controller would be ideal.)

This is the basic building blocks of a game that my friends and I are working on. The main objective was to build a on-rails movement system for the fighter, so that it could move around the screen like in Starfox games.

On the other hand, I also wanted the movement to be free, so that there could be completely open world segments.

The result is this. 

On launch, this prototype generates a random number of "boxes" and "flyers" that I call Shootables. Can you find and shoot every Shootable?

CONTROLS:

• Change trajectory: Right joystick
• Move fighter: Left joystick
• Shoot: Y
• Boost: X (Boost is limited. If you run out, you must wait until it recharges.)
• Barrel Roll Left: LB
• Barrel Roll Right: RB
• Quit: ESC
• Start Game: Enter
