THUNDERBULLET

Introduction

A replayable 3rd-person shooter game where you try to raise your score and survive for as long as possible.

This game was made as an assignment for the game development course I'm following.

Explanation

You'll find yourself on a hexagonal arena around the boss, the Thunder Core. The goal is to hit the target score within the time limit.

The boss will regularly launch Thunder Orbs of one of three different colors, one at a time or in waves. Each color of Orb behaves differently and shooting one down increases your score by 1. When defeated, an Orb will drop 1 bullet, with a small chance of dropping 2.

The Core will launch one of two large-scale attacks at intervals, which need to be avoided. Attacking the Core a certain number of times will cause it to stop launching these large-scale attacks for a limited time, but continue launching Orbs. Attacking the Core does not increase the score.

Once you hit the target score, defeating Orbs no longer raises your score. Instead, your score will increase over time, and defeating an Orb adds time to the timer.

Getting hit by an Orb or an attack, or falling off the arena will cause you to take damage. When the timer or your health hits 0, the game ends.
