Hive Eclipse is a single-player Asteroids-like, built in GameMaker Studio 2 (GML), that I developed for a college game design course.
I wanted to see if I could give a sense of being part of a larger fleet action to the Asteroids formula, so I framed the players role as that of guarding his carrier. Any asteroids that are not taken out quickly enough become priority targets, because they are an immediate danger to the carrier.
If the player is able to keep the carrier alive long enough to warp out, they make it to the next level.
The game consists of 3 levels, and a variety of upgrades that add new mechanics to the game or change existing ones. The player must select one upgrade prior to each level.
All weapons are ammunition based.
The levels consist of different types of asteroids, that behave differently, and different alien enemies with distinct AI and abilities.
The art is all original, and the sounds and music were all acquired from freesound.org.
