(Unnamed) LD46: Keep It Alive Free Download

My submission for Ludum Dare 46: "Keep It Alive" is a space combat game where you can steal spaceships and blow stuff up.

I didn’t get all of the features I wanted into the game, and I didn’t have time to add any sound at all, but I still feel like I accomplished a lot in 48 hours!

My goals at the start of this project were to have fluid-feeling movement and combat for your ships, to give the enemies satisfying flocking and steering mechanics while they fight and chase you, to make stealing ships satisfying and rewarding, and to really give the game a sense of scale: your starter ship should really feel tiny compared to the larger ships, and once you are in a bigger ship everything else should feel tiny in comparison to you. While a ton of features and ideas were cut due to time constraints (like sound… oh well, there’s no sound in space!), I really think I succeeded at all of my most important goals.

I am really happy with how the game turned out.
