Driftspace
A downloadable game for Windows
Driftspace is a simple, fast-paced arcade shooter that is played with only a mouse. Compete for high scores in this 'easy to learn, hard to master' bullet hell where an average run only takes about 10 minutes.
A great catastrophe has left the universe in disarray. Void consumes most of reality, leaving only lone planets connected by thin strands of space. You will traverse the remaining shreds of reality to return the power core to the time machine that can save the universe.
- Easy to Learn: Pick up and play in a matter of minutes! Features a fully playable tutorial and easy to understand mechanics.
- Simple Controls: Use a simple mouse-only control scheme! Steer your ship to shoot enemies or BLINK to teleport onto them and defeat them instantly.
- Arcade-Style: Endlessly improve your abilities and compete with friends for high scores! There are no upgrades between runs or meta-progression. Runs are short and take only about 10 minutes to complete on average.
- Fast-Paced: Blast off into a nonstop barrage of enemy hordes and fight your way through to survive! Defeat enemies quickly to attract more in their place and maximize your score.
- Choose Your Battles: Steer your ship through various enemy encounters in your path.
- Unique Weapons and Upgrades: Use scrap dropped by enemies to purchase a variety of unique weapons and upgrades that make every attempt feel different.
- Original Graphics and Music.
This game is still in development. The game currently contains three of a planned four main sectors, followed by a final boss sector. Planned features include the final two sectors, additional testing and polish, and some other small features such as an additional weapon.
