Sun Escapes Me
A browser game made in HTML5

There has been a bit of an overhaul to various things with Sun Escapes me, including the core assets!

  • The Sun is now more than a series of lines like from the prototype!
  • Your player ship is now half the size and so is your collision box. 64x64px screen size is a lot tougher when you are 8x8px! We are down to 4x5px for our green alien led UFO!
  • Asteroids now look like they are made of different materials. 
  • Nebulas have received a bit of a visual upgrade but could still use some work.  
  • Better start screen to reflect the more unserious tone the game has while presenting some meaning.
  • A lot of small graphical improvements like accessing a smaller font contained within Pico 8, adding a blinking effect, and hit effects on rocks/nebula.

Next big steps include adding pickups and actual waves or levels. Hope you try out the game and provide some feedback!
