SKYRAZE
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A game made by Ben Kilby in the space of 4 days during the middle of summer holiday published by DLXI
Controls:
A or left arrow key = left
D or right arrow key = right
S or down arrow key = invincible powerup
NOTE. you can only be either 1 invincible or resurrection powerup per each game. Both powerups must be bought.
The target was missed (by half an hour on record but I'll be safe and say an hour) so the game took longer than 4 days however it was made far under 96 hours so just days averaging at around 6-8hrs with the whole development recorded (when I remembered to press record).
Day 1, I did around 1.75 hours *Basic prototype*
Day 2, nothing *day off*
Day 3, I did around 6.5 hours *felt pressure*
Day 4, I did around 8.75 hours *realised I shouldn't have took a day off*
Day 5, I did around 10 hours *I needed extra time to make the game functional*
Total: 30 hours (worse case scenario)
All recordings are downloadable but is 4GB!
Since the game was made in such a short time, I didn't add everything I wanted to meaning some menus don't work, 2 player doesn't work, enemy air crafts clip into each other when dodging obstacles, pause menu/game over screen do not cover full screen fully and air craft switch option in level menu doesn't work. If people end up playing the game I will happily come back and patch a few things and even adding a few more things like maps, enemies and a story mode.
I was able to make this game in 30 hours under quite a lot of stress. On the final day I didn't wear my glasses so by midnight, everything was blurry and in all honesty I couldn't think straight. I ran into needing to remove all the music at the start which hurt time (because it was under a lot of copyright) and looking back, some of the textures may have been under copyright but they're just pictures of real life objects that I essentially made unrecognisable.
