Weekly Game Prototype 3: Charge the Lasers!
November 17th, 2008charge the Lasers!-Malec2b(Alec Stamos)
I’ve decided to try to make a simple game/game prototype every week. I will be using Game Maker. These games will demonstrate the game play and should hopefully be fun, but they won’t be fully fleshed out as far as graphics or art are concerned.
This week I made a game called Charge the Lasers!

Instructions:
—————————–
You play as the ship at the bottom of the screen. Press A to move left and D to move right. The Left button and Right button
fire the left and right missiles respectively.
There are three colors of small enemy ships and a mother ship. The missiles can only destroy small enemy ships and will have no
effect on the mother ship. When you hit a small enemy ship, you will get one charge of that color in one of your laser
batteries (Found at the bottom of the screen. A left laser will fill up the left battery, a right laser will fill up the right
battery).
If you fill up a battery with three charges of the same color, you can then fire a super-laser which will damage the mother ship
if it hits it and will also destroy any small ships in its way. When the left batery is filled, press Left to fire the super-
laser. When the right battery is filled, press Right to fire the super-laser.
If a battery is filled and the colors do not match, it will empty.
You can press the Space Bar at any time to empty your laser batteries.
You win the game when you’ve destroyed the enemy mother ship (its health gauge is at the top of the screen).
If you get hit by an enemy, you lose a life. If you lose all 3 lives, it’s game over.
I hope you enjoy!
Stumble it!
