Ship Fight! A frenetic couch-coop 2D top down battler for 2-4 players, set in orbit around a black hole. Use orbital mechanics to curve your shots, outmaneuver your opponents, and survive.
Many ways to play, including:
Deathmatch - kill your enemies, but keep an eye out for powerups that can change the balance of power. Be ready to use the black hole as a slingshot to get you to a powerup before anyone else, but don't fling yourself into that electrified wall!
Race - Make it as far as you can through the checkpoints without getting shot, then cash in the points by diving into the black hole. Every checkpoint is worth double the last one - will you cash in early and often, or risk more checkpoints for a bigger payoff?
Cargo - Earn points as long as you are carrying one or more flags. But watch out - holding a flag disables your guns and weakens your engines. Maybe let your opponent pick up the flag first, then come in for the kill and carry the flag away as fast as you can!
King of the Hill - As long as you or your teammate are the only ones in the basecamp, you are earning points. Fend off the other team, and position yourself in the center of the camp for the most points. But the basecamp is orbiting the black hole as well! Only a master pilot will be able to stay in the base while defending against attackers.
Capture the Flag - Carry the opposing team's flag back to your base to score. Sounds easy enough, but the miniature black holes in front of each base make pickup and dropoff harder than it looks! Careful that while you're lining up your approach, the enemy doesn't pick up a gatling gun and turn you into space junk.
Plus bumper cars, white holes pushing you toward certain destruction, mine-laying guns, the Aura of Death, and much more!
Ship Fight! is an indie game made by one developer (me, Michael Gundlach - hi! ) I'd love to hear what you think of it! Join the discord server or drop me an email!
