Chaos Sector
Shoot alien ships as they fly into formation and dive bomb you in this Galaga-style game. Dodge enemy fire and the enemies themselves as you go through wave after wave of enemies and gain points. How long can you last?
Thoughts from Development
There was no break between Snake and this game's development, so I was running on fumes. It did not help that I aimed for the harder example of Galaga instead of space invaders. After several weeks of insane coding and manually placing Bézier Curves, I came out with this and a damn solid grade to show for it.
Grade: First (97%)
