Space Legend - (game/RPG)

While waiting for thinBasic 2.0 i had some time to play around and made a game to challenge you.


It's the daily 30-minutes-RPG-experience for you to take a break from coding.

Play as the commander of a spaceship travelling through a thinUniverse fighting alien spaceships and destroy threatening asteroids.
Select your skills and upgrade wisely to make millions of kilometers.


How to play should be familiar and I won't spoil to much and leave the fun of finding out to you.

hints:
- each block gives you 125 km if removed in groups
- enemies will appear randomly in steps of 2500 km - so except the first - it's not always the same that awaits you
- single blocks can be removed too, but you'll get a penalty (shields/health) and come closer to the next enemy much faster
- increase your agility and vitality as first
- the raygun (if improved) is more effective on shielded aliens while the missiles have to force down the shields before they'll make any damage.
- make heavy use of the laser! - if you refer to it in emergency cases only it's too late mostly
- don't panic and check your possiblities - there's no timer


[spoiler]
' why doesn't it hide it?

- collect stars during battle as much as possible!
- avoid taking big chunks of XP during non-battle-times
[/spoiler]


Be warned - it could be kind of addicting

Have fun!
:D
need #MinVersion 1.9.15.0 for the thinBasic-script
or windows for the executeable version
large screen required ( > 1024 * 768 )

- rebalanced once more so it keeps challenging in higher levels now
- now Laser-charge increases with Player-level
- enemies at higher levels have more health

This is awesome Rene, thanks! :p

My highscore, going to attack the fridge now and then come back for my revenge...

Attached here some description-image for the most important things of the game - but i guess you would have found out anyway ;)

Do not forget to use the laser as soon as its loaded!


(Edit: hiscore-image removed because of new conditions)

For the moment I have just one word: FANTASTIC!

Let me going deeper in the week-end and I will let you know more.

still improving it, new version see first post :)

Hope you enjoy.

Edit:
after intense testing i fear it's to easy now

My best score so far after more than 20 tentative.
Quite complex strategic game, very nice once you got the best strategy.

New personal after half an hour of game. The more you play the more it is nice :)

Very hard!

Marvelous! ;)

I'm not a lover of tiles game, but this game has a very nice strategic part that makes it very funny.

Great work!

Happy you like it. :)

I should start coding something else, but somehow i can't stop playing it myself- and find always some tweaks and things to re-adjust.
Please let it be the final version now -
when amount of stars to collect stays constant it became to easy- before it was to hard- now the increment of star-blocks needed for the next additional star is somewhere inbetween.
Latest attached to first post.

My best: 110000.
Almost 50 minutes of play.

I was also able to fix 3 Core Engine errors looking at source code :)

I came to level 14, 15 and higher - but becomes to easy later.
The laser-recharge (currently constant 9) should raise with the players current level - but I'm not in the mood to change it nor to test out different settings since I'd have to play till 14 or 15 then- and i guess i've played this to much already :D. Coud also raise enemies health a little more ... and ... and ... better look for a new project

i did it and re-adjusted a little as described above, else the thought won't leave me.

See first post.

hopefully done by now - must stop playing this...

wanted to announce a new record - took me half a day to play this far and i had to push the self-destruct-button since there's no saving in game possible.

Have you considered implementing a save feature in the game to avoid the need for players to start from the beginning every time they play?
